Dogs allowed in bar and restaurant

Hotel is fine. I was disappointed to find that it alliws dogs. As i am highly allergic to animals it annoys me that customers are allowed to bring their dogs into the bar and restaurant area. I have no issue with dogs but if your going to allow them there should be designated areas. I wont be using the hotel again due to this. Sorry

Very disappointed

Entered room bed very scruffy. Went to put stuff on window sills. There were dead flies on it. So obviously not cleaned for a while. Late at night tried to close the curtains the whole lot on the right hand side fell on me. As it was very late did not call anyone as no way was I able to change rooms at that time of night. Or want a stranger in my room trying to repair it. By the look of the ceiling there were brackets missing. So not the first time this had happened. So then did not have the good sleep that I expected. As one curtain not enough to keep out the light. Then breakfast too was a bit of a fiasco. Hot food kept running out, tookthem far to long to replenish. So so disappointed stayed at this hotel many times with no issues, will need to come to Bicester often in the future. So not sure if we will return to this H II

Just one slight niggle.

The room was clean & comfortable. The "free" breakfast was very good. My only complaint was that the shower was not very hot even at maximum temperature.

Ok

A new ish hotel lots of finish issues. Seems to be a problem with heating/aircon. No heat this time. Was no aircon last time, seems to be an ongoing issue. If staying as a family the put out bed only works if the children are very young as its small.
