Have recently stayed at this so called hotel, please take heed of this and other reviews and don't go. The hotel website describes its self as the best hotel in Kidlington, if this is the best I would hate to see the worst! The room was little more than a glorified cupboard very very basic and worn. They did not... More

My PA booked me into the Highwayman for a recent business trip to Oxford. I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome and made to feel at home by the lady who checked me in. The room was surprisngly contempary for the price I had paid. The pub grub, real ale and roaring fire was a perfect way to... More

I stayed here two days whilst at Oxford Airport. Booked over the phone with a foreign girl, English was terrible, didn’t send me an email as requested. Rooms are dated, but equipped with tea/coffee facilities and TV ‘Free WiFi’ was impossible to connect. Chef on the morning was really nice and chatty. Building work was going on during the day....

As I was working locally I was already staying at a B&B around the Woodstock area, but needed to find accommodation for an extra 4 nights, so I rang to book. After I had placed my booking I was told over the phone by the "receptionist" that I had 48 hours in which to cancel. The hotel cancellation policy which... More

The management of The Highwayman are really nice people. After a half hour chat with them over evening drinks, it’s obvious to anyone they’re hard working and really dedicated to providing a positive customer service. At first, I couldn’t work out why the prices for this pub / B&B were so cheap, £39 paid in advance over the internet for... More

Had a couple of nights here as i was working just down the road. Free parking right outside your room (always a bonus) Good quality real ale served in the accompanying traditional pub. Quality decent portions of food served in the bar . Not the Ritz but for the nightly B&B price i would say its a bargain. Very freindly... More

Very friendly staff and a great location on the outskirts of the city. I cycled the adjacent canal towpath into Oxford and up to Blenheim palace, Woodstock and surrounding villages. I really do not understand the complaints made by other visitors. The hotel was clean and comfortable, if you expect 5 star facilities then expect to pay 5 star prices!!!... More
