My wife and I met my extended family at the Foxcombe Hotel for Christmas lunch. As my wife and I had to travel the farthest we also spent one night at this hotel. We were welcomed on our arrival and once settled, we were given a short tour of the dining room and the bars etc. although like many small... More

Avoid this hotel. It is a poor value for a run down place... Needs constant warm water and lots of remodeling. Manager seems to ignore obvious issues...if you want to stay in the area, seek other places More

I took a single room. There wasn't a smoking/non smoking selection when I booked and I ended up in a room that stank of smoke. The bathroom had other people's hair on the floor. The waiter in the morning was glum and the cheapest possible breakfast was served, esp. The sausages. However it wasn't all bad.. I tried to email... More

Positives: Clean, comfortable rooms. Pleasant location and pleasant property. Quirky interior. The beds were particularly comfortable. Negatives Breakfast wasn't great, but not bad. Quite pricy (but I think that's the case with anywhere near Oxford, so not property specific). Family rooms above party venue. We stayed for a weekend break, and our rooms were very comfortable. We chose the property... More

This hotel is generally grubby and neglected. It needs major refurbishment. Lack of cleaning evident in room and ensuite. Unpleasant bedlinen. Uninspiring breakfast (dreadful cheap sausages). A very disappointing stay and poor value. More

This was a last minute panic booking, but Gary the proprietor managed to fit me in with a single occupancy double room for one night with a change for the second. A number of mishaps with the rooms where dealt with professionally and promptly by staff, including a leaking toilet in the second, rather small single room. The rooms themselves... More

"Poor" is maybe a harsh judgment, but it is fair as regards the expectations of the average visitor. We were staying as a group of friends for just one night. The hotel were very helpful regarding the arrangements for our stay, and were friendly and welcoming when we arrived. They had arranged a separate room for us to eat in,... More

It is barely possible to describe this dreadful hotel. Dirty, tatty, absolutely awful. Needs complete renovation or possibly demolition. More

Had a family room for 4. Had enough space for 4 in the room. It was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of food for the breakfast and all was cooked well. There was a wide selection of food to select from to eat. Plenty of parking and space out the back for the children to run around safely. More

Boars Hill is a great location for access to Oxford and with the Fox pub, which we know and like, just over the road we were looking forward to our break. Thank goodness it was only for a single night. Room was dirty, smelly, and in desperate need of re-decoration. Brerakfast was OK More
