    Shower didn't have a door so the bathroom got very wet when having a shower.

    Our room was at the front of hotel and cars very noisy on the shingle driveway but I guess you couldn't stop that from happening. As room was fairly warm we had the windows open .

    Breakfast was amazing and the manager brought over a bucks fizz at Breakfast as it was my birthday very thoughtful. The evening meal was lovely. The towels in room nice and big.

    If you are considering staying here at The Harcourt Arms then do it! We had the most wonderful experience from the minute we arrived, to the moment we left. We travel with our maine coon kitten (9 months old and 9 kilos!) and we can find it difficult to locate hotels that will accept him. When we called the hotel, they couldn't be more happy to have him! Due to his size they allocated us the top floor double room which is huge so he could play with all of his toys and do zoomies up and down! This could easily be considered as a family room. They took care when the room required cleaning if our cat was in there and all the staff smothered him in kisses and cuddles! They even gave him some poached salmon to go home with! The rooms are beautifully decorated and the hotel decore fits perfectly with the countryside vibe. We had breakfast every morning which was continental and cooked and was always so tasty. We also had two dinners throughout our 4 night stay which were also amazing. Highly recommend the Sunday roast!! The staff are all exceptional and we cannot wait to return. We really felt taken back by the kindness we received and how they all went above and beyond to make us and Odin at ease and looked after. Thank you so much ❤️

    One poor roast dinner on Sunday evening. No hand holds over the bath for use of shower. Very necessary for the elderly.

    Staff were very helpful and friendly. Especially Dragos and Connor.

    The personel could be al little bit more open/ smile some more. Most of the seemed like if they "need to work there and are not enjoying it". Tip: if you smile more (while serving people), most people automatically don't mind if things are taking a little bit longer or something that is not going according to plan. Furthermore, the a la carte menu could use a little bit more variation. The options for breakfast were also too limited to our opinion. Maybe some extra continental options or (kid friendly) options like pankakes.

    The room, spacious and the location of the hotel.

    We asked for a downstairs room but were given a excellent room on the first floor but was difficult as an elderly couple to get there on the positive side they did help us with the luggage

    Large comfortable room - extremely clean with very friendly staff and a great breakfast

    There was delay with the serving of our evening meal. We had booked, but there was an influx of diners, which made it difficult for staff to keep up with demand. However the food was excellent when it arrived.

    We had a very pleasant stay in this excellent hotel. We chose a deluxe room and it met our expectations- very quiet and comfortable. Very good breakfast too. Easy parking too.

    Bed was a lil uncomfortable becasue it was two beds pushed together, only if you moved to the middle of the bed it was not great. Other than that it was fine.

    The food was very good, the staff were on it. Drink selection is good. 15/20 minutes drive to Oxford or burford to go more in to Cotswold.

    The restaurant food (chateaubriand) wasn’t very warm and not at all exciting for the hefty price. A discretionary service charge of 10% is automatically added to restaurant bill you can easily miss especially if they email the bill to you. Although I paid this after discussing with the manager I regret this Americanism creeping in. They do not charge the extra on room rates.

    Really lovely pub restaurant. Extremely comfortable room and superb bathroom. Management & staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent.
