Charlbury Hotels

We stayed at The Bull for 4 nights and cannot praise the staff enough. The only downfall was the room. It was excellent for a stay of one or two nights but not any longer. We had the last room available and at first it looked perfect but as I went to unpack realised there was nowhere to hang clothes and a cupboard in an awkward place to open. When I reported it the assistant manager David put 2 rails in our room instantly, plus there was no mirror in the room, only an over sink on in the bathroom, but a long mirror was also added very quickly, although the room now looked like a camp site! Both assistant managers were so helpful and did everything to change our room when one became available the next day but it would have only been for one night and then another move so we opted to stay where we were. We were shown other rooms so that if we visited again we could book direct for a different room. The staff, every single person, were always happy, chatty and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely go back again if in the area.

Originally chosen for its location close to Chipping Norton where a Jazz festival was due to take place but which was unfortunately cancelled! Allocated room 11 on arrival but due to steep stairway access relocated into annex, without any such problem. The nearby church clock chimes every 15 minutes but was not a problem to us. Large car park with easy access to inn.

We chose this hotel for its proximity to Blenheim Palace. A one night stay allowed us to make 2 separate visits to the Palace.

... If you can bring yourself to leave the spectacular grounds!

The main hotel is very impressive, nice main hall, bar and restaurant. Unfortunately the room in the cottages was not the greatest. Wallpaper peeling and dirty marks on the wall.

The cutest room up in the top of this wonderful old building. A trek up narrow spiral stairs to a short door and entry to a lovely room. Lovely bed and all we could ask for. The breakfast in the morning was excellent. Dinner that nice also excellent. Delightful location in a thatched village. Staff outdid themselves!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was lovely and spacious. The balcony overlooking the golf course was fab. Highly recommend.

lack of a lift was a challenge with a room n the 2nd floor and a 30kg suitcase. I'm 62 and noone offered to bring it up. Reception lady was rather foreign and frosty

Lovely building and grounds. Food was good if slightly limited in choice. Lovely location for a bit of piece and quiet. Good walks in the grounds with things to find.

I was very disappointed when on check in I was informed that breakfast wasn't served until 07:00 when I picked this hotel because on the internet it said 06:30. After telling the receptionist she didn't realy seem to care or offer a discount, if I had known I would have picked the other hotel just up the road.
