This is a fine building which, in my opinion, shows lots of untapped potential. Overall the property was fine BUT: Furniture was sort of "chic" but some older pieces like our dressing table and the table we used in the dining room could be better in keeping if sanded down and painted. We were only offered various cooked breakfasts from the menu, whereas an included light cereals and toast- which is what we wanted - was not on a menu or originally offered. Evening meal was a bit pricey, we thought. Fish and chips was £16.95 and the cheapest and the desert was £7.95 . We thought a brief and lighter "Travellers Menu" whould have been an appropriate addition. Our room was quite big and pretty well equipped yet the dressing mirror with a small dressing table was parked in a dark corner and at a height where the lady only saw half of her face to put on make-up - this is a common issue we think.

A bit of a find
A one night stop to visit a relation. Great food although a bit more choice, ie fruit, on the breakfast menu would have been nice. Comfortable, quiet room and having our dog with us was not an issue. Would stay again.

Great hotel with a very good restaurant.
The Lion is an excellent place to stay - great food and really nice rooms. The rooms have a really good level of equipment with a coffee maker etc. The restaurant was very good, really nice food and good service. Breakfast was very good - but not great for business travellers, as it doesn't start until 8am. Bringing this forward to 7.30am would make all the difference (but maybe not to those going to Bicester Village!) I would also really recommend adding a couple of electric car chargers - it would be easy to do just inside the gate, and would make a huge difference - it is one of the things I look for in all hotels nowadays.
