Littlebury Hotel in Cherwell

Perfect for hatch, match and dispatch

Very nice staff, great atmosphere, would have got 5* for room but unfortunately it was a little dusty.

A fantastic hotel with ample parking at the rear. Absolutely loved this place and wished I had stayed here for the entirety of my stay in Bicester. The staff were cheerful, helpful and very friendly. I had the turkey roast dinner and broccoli soup for my evening meal, it was good, wholesome home cooked food; the best meal I'd had during my 2 week stay in town. The ambience and traditional atmosphere of the hotel took me back to when I was a kid on family holidays, absolutely perfect. It was also a first to see Lambs navy rum, Woods Navy Rum and Pussers Rum all in the same bar. The full English breakfast and filter coffee set me up for most of the day, the beef salad sandwiches prepeared for me to take to work took care of the rest. The beef was real roasted beef, not from a packet. Hopefully I'll get more work in Bicester, I know exactly where I will be staying from now on. Thanks Michael and Staff for such a pleasant stay.

I stayed overnight on Saturday 24th August 2024. I was on the first floor in room 27. I had a single room with a single bed. The room was long and narrow but that wasn't a negative. It meant that I had more room than the average single room. I am slightly disabled and there is no lift at the hotel. However, when I checked in the young Ukrainian lady behind the counter noted that I used a crutch and had no hesitation in taken my quite heavy suitcase upstairs to my room. That enabled me to hobble up the stairs without the hinderance of trying to lug a suitcase upstairs whilst using a crutch. That was good service and a doff of the hat to the young lady for volunteering without hesitation to help me. I attended a function in the town and later returned at around 23:00 and went to the bar to get a drink. They had a karaoke type act on with people dancing etc. The place was very busy, it being a Saturday evening and a bank holiday weekend. The bar was very busy and after waiting for around 5 minutes my legs began to ache and I gave up as I couldn't stand anymore. I went and sat down at a table. Shortly afterwards the lady serving behind the bar came around through reception and asked me if I would like a drink. I ordered a half of Guinness and managed to now get to the bar and paid by swipe card as the Guinness was settling. The lady said she would bring the drink around to my table, which she did. Once again, excellent service from somebody who had noticed I wasn't very mobile. I didn't get her name but she was working with an older man behind the bar and had reddish hair. I won't mention her age but she wasn't 21. Yet again, a pat on the back for excellent, beyond the normal level of service. Breakfast: Excellent. It starts at 08:00 at the weekend and me and a friend arrived five minutes early. Prompt service again. The lady who served us was chatty and served us at the table, no help yourself buffet here. Breakfast was good. One of everything and more than enough to fill you up. I reckon that the bacon, eggs and sausage were locally sourced and not supermarket fodder. She warned us about the plates being very hot and they were! However that kept our food warm for the duration. I have marked the accommodation down as four star because the place is in need of a major refurbishment. I stayed here about 35 years ago and the place is still the same. Jaded brown 80s style furniture with cheap, shoddy looking gold coloured wall plates for the electrical sockets (Of which there are plenty) but no USB ports anywhere. Tough if you forget your USB charging plug. The TV was quite old at around 13 years of age. I have a similar TV in my man cave. However it was on a wall bracket that could be swivelled through 180 degrees so it could be viewed from either the bed or the desk. That was good and it was adequate. The bed though was extremely comfortable. Great mattress, great pillows (Two, which I like) and a lovely soft duvet. I slept like a log and woke naturally at around 06:00. There was no air conditioning in the room which could be a problem in the summer when hot although a fan was provided. There were three pin sockets by the bed so at least the fan could be by the bed if required. The hotel is on the edge of the town centre, about 400 yards away, so an easy walk to the local fleshpots. So, overall a good experience. It is however in serious need of a refurb. Would I stay again? Yes I would as the staff, the bed, the location and the breakfast were excellent.

The location, staff and services in the hotel are extremely good.

Our room was spacious and clean ironing equipment in room nice view of garden lovely constant hot water. Quality of evening meal was good good breakfast. staff really helpful about minutes by car to outlet or ten minute walk bus routes to Oxford even 30 minutes. We look forward yo staying here again

Great service from very pleasant staff, I was made to feel very welcome from the moment I stepped through the door. The location was spot on the room I stayed in 27 was very quiet during the night.

My husband Keith and I have stayed here twice within eighteen months and we love it. The garden is beautiful and service great. Michael is so welcoming and we hope to go again maybe next year.

A great place for family gatherings. Great friendly service.

Lovely roast dinner very small portion though. Staff absolutely fantastic. Lovely hotel in a lovely location

A one night stay, my room and decor was fairly dated but it was clean with a comfy bed. Breakfast was good with friendly and attentive staff.

Comedy night, well worth going to!

Excellent place for a traditional meal.
