Nicely spacious room and quiet with a bath and shower over. A good place to stay for visiting Garsington opera festival or cricket at Wormsley. The hotel’s breakfast room by the end of service was a bit run down and uninspiring. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I stayed here a few weeks ago and I as disappointed that the room was dusty as though it hadn’t been used for a while, it was close to a work venue so I thought I’d give it another try, I booked a double, got to the room and it was a single bed. There was hair in the bath, dried splash marks at the back of the sink and the soap dispensers were dirty. I’d like a refund as I didn’t get what I booked and paid for.
