5.0 / 10.0
Location
Advertising Spa facilities but it’s not run by themselves so was fully booked for our complete stay thus was the reason we choose this hotel very disappointing.
Also the room advertisement as Queen rooms do not have this size beds and were pretty small rooms and defo not really premium
4.0 / 10.0
The location was good and the staff were friendly and responsive.
The mattress was not comfortable and the room amenities were not well maintained. The shower and toilet were old and the light operated all together or not at all.

On arrival, Claire on Reception was very friendly and helpful. My sister and I were given honeycomb as a treat. The room was very clean and spacious. My favourite part was the bed, which was the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in. I even purchased the pillows and duvet for myself whilst I was away.
The pool was quite cold. In addition, when we ordered room service, we were not given any cutlery from the member of staff who delivered. Parking is also extremely expensive!

The property is in a quiet green area in the southern part of Oxford. The ambience is truly comforting and welcoming. The breakfast is very good and the personnel managing the breakfast room is outstandingly nice and sympathetic.
5.0 / 10.0
The rooms are spacious and comfortable also the beds and pillows. It’s warm and the view in the gorgeous meadows is pretty uplifting.
The condition of the gym and the pool do not live up to the general standard of the hotel. Small gym, smelly, pool reeking of chlorine vapours, and very noisy with splashing and screaming kids, when I visited. Coed sauna and steam room not inspiring confidence in terms of comfort and cleanliness - Restaurant with pele sitting in their boxer shorts and flip flops - and smelling of stale fish.

Vivac manager very friendly and ensured I had everything I need - I have visited this hotel several times and hope to return again soon
Would like couple more regular tea bags rather than decaffeinated in tray - minor minor point

10.0 / 10.0
I always find this hotel massively exceeds expectations. Online it looks a little corporate and soulless, but it has a really relaxing feel to it. The rooms are quiet and comfortable and a good size. The location is slightly outside the centre but it makes for a relaxing vibe. It's a little on the pricey end for what it is but worth the money.

Happy with everything.

Got upgraded to a bigger room! Very accommodating. Perfect escape in Oxford. Safe, and cheapest parking closest to Oxford City Centre. Perfect walking distance to city centre.
I didn’t want to leave!
9.0 / 10.0
Really welcoming staff, especially in the bar and at the morning breakfast. This made such a difference to me as I was there by myself before an exam. After I arrived I called down to request a robe and they brought one up with fresh slippers in less than 5 minutes and were incredibly friendly and helpful.
I did have to pay £25 for parking, but it was until 6pm the following day and they even extended it to midnight for free. They also extended my checkout time which I appreciated a lot!
I went on a particularly freezing day so the room was cold and while there was a heating system, I felt that the building could use new windows to help keep the warmth in better.

Beautiful hotel and grounds. Rooms were well equipped.
It’s a little out of town but easy enough to walk to or taxi to.
10.0 / 10.0
The hotel room was 1st class in decoration and comfort.
The hotel breakfast and leisure facilities were also amazing.
We had the best possible short holiday there.
We loved to see the horses grazing in the field outside our room also.
The only thing i didn't like was the £25 per day charge for the car park

Great location with comfy rooms. Lovely staff and the facilities are good
Both breakfast and parking are very expensive for the quality eg instant coffee machine, powdered eggs etc

Friendly welcome, staff polite and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with amazing variety and choice, Swimming pool great for a relaxing swim.
I had hoped to have a restful nights sleep but the room was noisy. The next door occupants listened to their television at high volume all night.

Room like and cleanness
Staff like , From reception to Spa, to cleaners and to breakfast and bar staff great team please thank them all
Breakfast great choice
Charges for parking. Too excessive £25 per day no concession for disabled. Paid top price for stay already...Disappointed and would not stay in this hotel again because of the charges and would advise other friends of this charge

We chose this spot for being relatively close to town and having parking space for the car. The rooms were comfortable. The meal we had that night was also good, as was the servive.
9.0 / 10.0
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was exceptional, enjoyed the spa and overall a very comfortable space to be in.
Lack of Internet connection - no one in our group were able to get a decent Internet connection and weren't able to sign up. Not experienced that in a hotel before.
Also we were disappointed that all the face pictures around the hotel are of renowned male figures of Oxford and there were no pictures of female figures. This is extremely biased and suggesting that there are no female figures who have had a significant impact in Oxford. When we raised this with a manager, she appeared to be quite defensive about it which was disappointing.

Very handy location to access the Park & Ride buses into Oxford City. An excellent transport system. The room was comfortable and well presented, with everything we needed. Breakfast was good, with a wide choice of food. The member of staff Albina, was especially pleasant and spent some time chatting to us. Also excellent parking at the hotel and a pleasant setting, considering it is so near to Oxford, with a long driveway and field to the side.
We swam in the spa pool, which at first seemed a little strange, having no staff on the reception desk and just a telephone to talk to them.

Good breakfast.
but unfortunately we were not advised that the hotel charges £25 per night to park your car whilst you are staying in the hotel, which added £75 to our stay, unacceptable. Not told about this until non refundable booking made, so would stay here again.

From the warm and friendly welcome, to my lovely room, a nice evening in the bar, and a delicious breakfast, it was the perfect stay.

The staff were particularly good and friendly at the hotel, especially all the cleaners, and Mali who was the breakfast host.
It was great that the breakfast was on until 11am.
The gym was really good for a hotel gym.
It's hard to say what could have been better. I can't think of anything. Maybe cava or cremant on the drinks menu instead/as well as prosecco.
The room was a bit cold

Location was good, breakfast was good. And the staff were friendly and polite
The car park charges at £25 a night is just a plain and simple rip off, money grab, enforced extortion, scam.
7.0 / 10.0
Lovely hotel and the grounds are really beautiful. Rooms were clean and facilities were good. Hotel is a walk out of the city centre which is what we wanted and we got an uber into the city a couple of times which was cheap and quick.
The hotel had a private party booking the night we were there and the music was really loud till 12am which meant we couldn’t sleep. The hotel failed to tell us about this before checking in which was a bit disappointing.

Cleanliness, location, food. It was our wedding anniversary and the staff kindly offered two drinks and two desserts on the house.
The room was not a premium queen room. Bed wasn’t queen sized and the garden view was limited.

Large, clean room with great facilities (particularly the spa), a short walk from the centre
9.0 / 10.0
Good location,staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. It only took us 20 mins to walk back from the city centre to the hotel.
It was quite noisy in the corridor,the door was not very soundproof. Could have done without staff calling down the corridor at 8am Sunday morning but that was our only complaint.

8.0 / 10.0
The hotel was on a main bus route or you could walk into Oxford along the river pathway at the rear of the hotel. About a 20 min average walk.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful. The hotel is in a beautiful setting.
The parking was an extra £25 for hotel guests. That should be free for paying guests. When I look for a hotel with parking, I expect the parking to be included in the cost.
The cost of a medium glass of wine and a pint of beer £18.50. Why? Companies buy in bulk and should be less expensive than a city restaurant😔
The dining room chairs in the breakfast area I feel need replacing! I felt I could have done with a booster seat to sit properly on them.
