The Vines in West Oxfordshire

Could not fault the room was lovely and warm all you could need. The pub decor was warm and welcoming. Great staff and great food highly recommend!! Would stay again

Very friendly and attentive staff. Wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Room was spacious, but only due to an upgrade, just not very clean as l don't think they had planned to let it out. The hotel was not manned all the time we couldn't get into the hotel when we had requests. Cleaner did not speak English. Owner did knock about 2 hours later. But too late by then. Nice friendly staff when we dis see them.

Lovely location. Comfortable beds. Horrible smell from the drains.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and we couldn't be more impressed! The room was clean. I truly appreciated the peaceful ambiance, which allowed for a restful night's sleep. The food was another highlight of our stay—each meal was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can't wait to return! Highly recommend!

Lovely stay with nice room and breakfast (beans were a little cold). We had plans to eat elsewhere however we sat next to a chap in the bar and the food looked delish, plus he finished his plate. Definitely stay again. Thank you

TL;DR: Bathroom sink covered in hair, used / dirty linen and towels all over the hallway floors, waited 45mins to be let into our room despite arrived nearly 3 hrs after check in. Promised a refund and now phones go to vmail. Wouldn't stay if I was homeless! Booked Vines Hotel for my wife, 2 yr old and I to stay for 1 night as we were travelling from Wales and wanted to visit Cotswold. After reading reviews and looking at the pics we thought this would be a lovely cosy place to stop over - how wrong were we! Check in is at 3pm. We arrived at 5.30pm to find the main doors were closed and we were told to wait 10mins whilst someone in the back got dressed to open the door for us. On arrival nearly 3 hrs after check in started, we were asked to wait 30mins so our room could be made up/ready. Already feeling frustrated and tired from the 4 hr drive, we decided it wasn't worth complaining and just wait to go to our room. The car park was empty, bar 2 cars. They put us up upstairs in a room despite seeing we have a toddler. On entering the passageway, we found used / dirty linens and towels all over the hallway and when we entered our room, the bathroom sink was covered in ants. The room was also littered with flies and bugs and we called someone to clear those out. The last straw for us was the bathroom area was dirty so we made a complaint. The hotel manager (someone with a man bun) told us if we were unhappy we can find another hotel and we would get our money back. We were tired, hungry, sleepy and had a toddler who needed to be fed. On top of that, I couldn't find another hotel with availability nearby so we had to travel back 30mins to the nearest decent hotel that cost just as much + fuel to go there and come back in the morning to Cotswold. Total damage of around £200. It's been 12 days and I've just heard from Booking.com that the hotel will not be providing a refund so I've logged a complaint with my bank. Very unprofessional Vines Hotel! Under no circumstance will I ever be staying there or recommend anyone to them. I understand things get missed by cleaners but if you say you will refund, then honour your word! Despicable!

Motorbike meeting every wensday 5.30pm-8pm

This was an amazing few days which I would highly recommend to anyone. I stayed with my disabled elderly mum, the room was so comfortable, small but everything you need. The beds was comfortable, the room very clean, looked newly decorated and carpeted. The entrance to the room had its own little patio. Ian was such a lovely host, he was so helpful, engaging and happy, always there to help with a smile. Thank you. This quaint hotel is in the perfect spot to explore the Cotswolds, tranquil and quiet. Breakfast was great. Highly recommend, Suzanne and Caroline

Nice quaint hotel with breakfast included, we will stay again

Nice enough place, rooms are nice and food is nice though they could do with more items on the menu - however i equally understand why it is so small. It is in a nice scenic area that isn't too far from centre of witney

We stayed at The Vines for three nights. Absolutely no complaints. Although we got there two hours early our room was ready. Immaculate, not a speck of dust, extremely comfortable. Ian, the manager was very attentive and helpful,breakfast was excellent, always hot and a great choice. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back.

Stayed here for a couple of nights. Room was comfortable and quiet, breakfast was nice and the owners were very friendly and accommodating.

Had a nights stay in this characterful hotel. Cosy room, tea, coffee and water provided in the room plus an iron and ironing board too. Lovely hosts would highly recommend and will be back. Thank you.

Visited first time today for the car meet! Lovely people, great service and amazing burger! Thanks for the warm welcome to Ian and the family!

We stayed at The Vines for two days. Ian and his partner Camilla were without a doubt the most caring, attentive, welcoming, kind and helpful couple you could ever want to meet. Nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful room with comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Grounds extremely peaceful. What more could I say. OUTSTANDING.

Such a beautiful little escape for me and my partner. We stayed for 2 nights and The Vines made it even more special. What a beautiful family that are now running this gorgeous hotel. The room was clean, the location was spot on, the food was lovely and the hotel had some really nice touches which made it feel very homely. We will definitely be returning :)

We stayed here for two nights as wanted to visit the wildlife park 15 minutes down the road so seemed a great location and price. We booked a double, there was some marks on the walls and a stain on the carpet in the corner but the room smelt lovely and fresh, it was clean, tidy with coffee and tea making facilities and fresh towels. A cooked breakfast was included and a nice size with option of porridge pot, coco pops, toast fruit and jam. There is an Asda and Aldi just 10 mins drive but the other nearest pub seemed at least a 30 min walk. When we went down to the bar the first night (Thursday) it was very quiet, I think more guests/locals did visited Friday. We tried the pizza which was tasty and the staff when we arrived and for both evening and morning was polite.

Stayed here for a night recently, the room was in an annex building at the back of the pub. It was comfortable with a wet room bathroom and small TV. The bar had a small selection of beers, one local lager however the cask wasn't on (Thursday night) which was very disappointing. There was a cat walking round and the smell that accompanies them being indoors (not ideal as I'm allergic and wasn't aware prior to going). I didn't have an evening meal so can't comment on the food. Breakfast was nice table service for cooked, help yourself to filter coffee/tea with a nice home made marmalade. Overall I would give 3 stars, I might stay here again if needed to be in the area.

We spent 2 nights here, staying in adjoining rooms in the annexe with my mother-in-law. The owner was very welcoming, friendly and polite. The full English breakfast was amazing, 10/10 on presentation, taste & readiness. The double bed in our room was extremely soft and dipped in the middle - so much so that my husband & I kept rolling inwards to the middle of the bed all night!! The rollers were also not locked in place so the bed moved across the floor easily. The desk chair legs were buckled and unusable. The wet room was fine, but the whole room could do with a good scrub (dead flies in bathroom sink & ants in main room). Overall it was a lovely stay, and I would return - but ask for a different room.

A beautiful location and a handsome building in a small quaint and quiet village . Accompanied by my son , his partner and small child we booked Bed& Breakfast and had 2 self contained ground floor rooms which were clean and comfortable ( although their double bed dipped in the middle ) in the annex at the back with a small patio outside the 2 separate front patio doors . Our stay in the rooms was peaceful and quiet generally all the time . The cooked breakfast was very good in the attractive dining area which was clean and well equipped . The landlord was welcoming and accommodating when he was on duty and when we turned up 15 minutes early for breakfast . I would definitely stay there again .

It was our first time staying at the vines hotel and we will certainly be coming back here. Fantastic value for money, lovely modern, clean rooms that feel homely. Nice quiet area so slept very well. Breakfast was decent, choice of yogurt, toast, cereal and cooked breakfast. We had the full English breakfast which was cooked beautifully and just the right size to be able to enjoy it all!! 👍 Staff were helpful and very friendly. It was very busy on our last morning at breakfast which was a bit more of a wait, but staff kept us informed and apologised for the delay which was fine. Perfect distance for us visiting our daughter in bampton, and also near enough to friends in Curbridge and Witney areas. We will definitely be back! 😊

Great vibe, clean and an amazing breakfast. The family running the hotel were amazing and went the extra mile by helping us jump start our car! Highly recommend if people are in the Cotswolds

Cute little hotel in the costwolds. The room was cosy , the bed comfortable. Breakfast was descent even if not much choice. It could get busy/noisy over the weekend if you are in the rooms above the bar. Good experience overall.

Best place; great prices, clean, cheerful and delicious food

We went to a wake at The Vines and i have never had such a beautiful atmosphere anywhere. We ended up staying from 3pm all the way until 11pm!! The place is clean and with great amenities. Thank you team for being so amazing! The family running is so so lovely and they’re so dedicated.

We stayed last night with family Rooms were beautifully cleaned and were smelling so good. We decided to have dinner and stay in and even though is a small menu, food tasted delicious and felt very fresh! Thank you Ian and Camelia for a lovely stay

If you would like a lesson in how not to manage a situation, look no further than the management at The Vines for inspiration. Having booked a hen do meal, we were excited to celebrate the bride to be at The Vines hotel restaurant. However, from the moment we arrived, we realised that this was a mistake. Despite booking only 2 weeks ago, we were told that “management had changed” and our hen do booking did not exist. We waited for a table to be made up, despite the restaurant being empty (and full of laid tables). The waiter had obviously not been trained in customer service and did not ever proffer a drinks menu. When the food finally arrived, the tagliatelle was good (despite copious amounts of whole peppercorns), as was the sausages and mash. The fish, however, was not at all palatable and it is was dubious whether it was even cod. When questioned, they brought out the packet from which the cheap supermarket frozen fish had been cooked. After we had eaten, we expressed our disappointment and instead of being highly apologetic, the manager seemed to think that a 10% discount and removing the uneaten fish was an acceptable apology. (For future reference, at least comping the drinks and profusely apologising to the bride to be would have been a good start!) Equally, whilst the cat was absolutely adorable, having it sat, begging and walking all over the tables is not particularly sanitary. This restaurant has the potential to be so much better than it was!

What can I say. We stayed here for our Christmas work function, which we had a Christmas meal and a disco was also on. The food was fantastic, all cooked so well with great presentation. The room was also beautiful, very clean, modern but with a traditional quirk. As we stayed we also had breakfast the next morning which was so fresh and clean, not greasy and thrown together. If your looking for a friendly, warm and welcoming place to visit with great food, I highly recommend. Well done to the current owners you really were amazing.

We selected to stay one night here Saturday 16th September, really because of all the previous glowing reviews. We opted to have a meal here in the evening and although I have never had a Beef Stroganoff quite like it before, it was superb. The beef stroganoff was literally two small fillets of beef, with a sauce covering them both and cooked sliced mushrooms on top. With this meal you had mash potato and red cabbage all of which was superb. My wife had a Margarette Pizza which she also enjoyed. Drinks here are priced quite keenly and you never felt ripped off. There is ample parking and the main building itself is absolutely lovely. The staff, waiters etc are also very welcoming, kind and very considerate. The menu is extremely limited so if Pizza is your bread and butter, you will be fine. They only appear to have one choice of special meal available to chose from. Sunday 17th September we had breakfast in the pub/restaurant area. Again we met the owners/staff and sat down along with about 16 others for our breakfast. As we were eating our lovely breakfast another couple came in and looked for a table to sit at. The young couple had selected a table but quite suddenly decided to move to the other side of the restaurant and they both looked quite perplexed. What was then quite apparent was that on the carpeted floor by the tables in the restaurant was several cat faeces (poo). There was actually two separate locations with faeces on the floor and the young lady was quite right to quickly inform the staff. Seeing faeces in the eating area was the absolute last straw for us, and we basically finished up and the breakfast area and just decided to set sail early. We gathered up our belongings from our room handed the key back to the bar area and departed. This place could be a really brilliant place to eat. However I would suggest that the staff/owner ensures that a proper check of the breakfast/restaurant area is carried out in future, prior to any customers coming in to the restaurant. Having any faeces in an area where you are serving food and people are eating is totally unacceptable and would put us off staying/eating here again.

Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady, who's English was poor. Hence, we couldn't find out about evening meal menu etc. We booked a twin room. When I moved the beds to make more room there was dirt and dust underneath the beds and bedside cabinet. The bed was very uncomfortable lumpy matress. The cooked breakfast bacon and sausage well overcooked like it had been deepfried

Wow what an experience… a delight to be welcomed by warm and friendly staff, nothing too much trouble, the food was lovely and hot, plentiful and always service with a smile .. peaceful and quiet stunning area will definitely return - thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Give this establishment a miss!! Fawlty Towers on steroids! We had arranged to check in early after a long journey from the North to attend a friends wedding. Front door locked no signs of life. After several minutes of door banging a young lady appeared, obviously not expecting us. She had to check the computer to verify our booking. Our room was in the annexe behind the main building. There was a musty smell on the stairs and corridor. The room had a tired look, frayed carpet old style small screen TV. The wet room/toilet was in need of TLC a loose shower control and a non functioning extractor fan. On a tight schedule, knowing the hotel was fully booked not able to request a room change. Our problems began on the Sunday morning when we went for breakfast. There were 25/30 other guests, also attending a wedding the previous day. There was a lack of cutlery sounds, no one was eating. There was one young man, presumably in a waiters role trying to attend the needs of a room full of people. It proved difficult to identify any of the few staff, none wore uniforms, name and title badges. During our 50 minute wait for one breakfast to arrive, several of the other guests left unable to wait any longer. The breakfast items were laid on what had been the day before, the reception. No refrigerated counter, uncovered jug of milk a plate of butter with a knife stuck in it. Shambolic would be a polite description. This hotel bore all the signs of a business run on a shoe string budget, run by poorly trained staff. On returning to our room to retrieve our luggage, we noticed several Silverfish on the edge of the carpet, hence the damp smell.Be warned.

Lovely hotel in a peaceful place. The room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a good breakfast included. For dinner there was a limited choice but the food was fresh, homecooked and tasted delicious.

Stayed here for just one night as we were attenting the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. This place is lovely. It's out of the way enough to be quiet (apart from when aircraft depart from nearby RAF Brize Norton but that really wasn't an issue for me!). Upon arrival had a lovely warm welcome from a guy behind the bar. We were given our keys and show where the rooms were, and where we could park the car. The rooms - a little dated, the door is operated by a manual key, no key cards here, and you have to manually lock the door when you leave the room. The room itself was lovely and clean, smelt fresh, had tea/coffee making facilities, TV, en-suite etc. The bed was really comfy too. Overall the place is well presented, has great staff, a nice bar, and the food was really good aswell. Breakfast the following morning was a serve at the table affair, various options available, including full english which was customisable. I enjoyed staying here a lot more than I thought, and my friend and I have already booked two nights for RIAT next year. Thanks to all who work here, you all do a great job.

Rooms clean with all you’d expect , good shower comfy beds , minor tidying required in outside areas , lots of weeds , that could be rectified quite easily. Breakfast was a farce really , waited over an hour for our full English , waiter ( only one on busy weekend) lost our order and we had to reorder, first in the dining room and last out .breakfast was poor in all fairness , you could count the beans on both hands , one sausage one slice of bacon , continental offerings were also poor , coffee was good and strong. After complaining the bill was reduced , I’d rather pay more and have a good breakfast. This place has such big potential , it’s a shame.

Ian and Camelia are new to The Vines this year and keen to make a success of it. They were most welcoming hosts, for whom nothing was too much trouble. The room was comfortable and breakfasts well cooked. The Vines is in a very quiet location and is a good spot for a few days break away from the hurly burly of everyday life. Thoroughly recommended.

Great setting in a typical Oxfordshire village, stayed here twice now and I can’t fault it, you get a warm welcome from the couple who run the hotel the rooms are of ample size and there is a great bar/restaurant which is also frequented by locals who provide a nice atmosphere, I can’t comment on the food as I have not eaten there, it’s a great place to stay to explore the Cotswolds

We had a good overnight stay in this pleasant hotel set in the village of Alvescot in the Cotswolds. The staff were welcoming and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable with a good supply of tea, coffee and biscuits. We enjoyed a plentiful Full English breakfast the following morning (we were unable to use the restaurant because the day we were there, Monday, it was closed – not unusual, of course, so no complaints). The only problem was the luke-warm shower in our room, which needs attention. It was, I suppose, more than compensated for by the positively scalding water from the hand basin tap. Anyway, overall, a pleasant stay, and we’d be happy to return.

Stayed for one night. Very friendly & helpful couple. Very comfortable beds & nice room out back. Breakfast was lovely. Whilst still going through refurbishment meant the evening menu was limited the stonebaked pizzas we had were delicious.

Lovely Welcome and a beautiful area. Clean and tidy and a very nice breakfast. Slept well. Comfy room with nice biscuits and plenty of tea and coffee.

Very warm welcome on arrival, lan and camilia were so friendly and accommodating to our needs. This is the 3rd time we have booked here and will always book when in area. I am a vegetarian and my meals were cooked for with a problem 🙂

After I had driven for 4 hours I wasn't expecting to have to drive again to get fed !. Booked two nights, Monday and Tuesday. Arrived at about 6pm after a long drive. The lady on reception was very chatty. After she explained the breakfast arrangements, I asked about an evening meal. 'Sorry, no evening food on Mondays and Tuesdays'. 'You can order a takeaway delivery, or drive to somewhere'. The hotel is at least a mile from the nearest other place to eat, and that was shut as well. I had to drive into the nearest town to get fed. The hotel is down country lanes. A 40min walk before dinner in the summer might be OK, but not in dark January, with snow and ice, and no road lighting. There is no indication of this severe limitation on their website, or on Booking.com. I looked everywhere but the only mention of no food is for Sunday. Apart from the lack of food, the hotel was reasonable. I stayed in the annexe, which is more like motel rooms, not the pretty 'country house' of the pictures. Because I had to eat out I never got to see the bar and facilities in the main building, only when I went in for breakfast, so I can't comment on them. The advertised '24 hour front desk' is a bit of a misnomer. On the second night, around 6pm, I needed to contact reception, so I walked to the front door, but it was locked. I rang the doorbell and spoke on the door intercom. The Manager said he would come to me. A minute later he appeared from round the side of the building, and we conducted our business, standing in the cold, on the doorstep !. All in all, it was not my best hotel experience. It might be better Wednesday to Saturday, but I can only comment on what I experienced on the days I was there.

We only booked one night at The Vines but wished it had been more. The room was clean and lovely, not fancy but suitable. The managers were very friendly and helpful. Always smiling and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious, served in a lovely room. I loved the dark green color on the wall. Restroom was immaculate. The waitress was attentive and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

We can’t rave enough about this inn because the managers are beyond the best. Check in was a breeze. We went to dinner and when we started our rental car (Enterprise) all sorts of warning lights came on the dash. The car manual said, “get...

A fantastic hotel with friendly atmosphere and very helpful staff. The restaurant serves excellent food at great value. A hidden gem in a quiet village. Recommend a stay for business or pleasure.

Once again it was our turn to organise the monthly Lunch Club Visit , we chose The Vines as our experience when we last visited was excellent ! Once again our Members were impressed with this superb Restaurant , 17 of us arrived at 12.30 for 1 o'clock sitting , we were served very promptly by Karen and another lady and soon were tucking into a fabulous meal in great surroundings with good friends , when the Sweets/Puddings were served ,various dishes around the Table ,everyone was eyeing up their neighbours choice ? Superb Meal served expertly , compliments to the Chef too ,all the empty plates and dishes going back to the Kitchen said it all !

I must say I love this place and need to call more often as I only work around the corner.The service, food, and friendliness is outstanding.There pizza's are out of this world. Sure they take a while but there homemade to order, and well worth the wait.The garlic with cheese is a great starter and you must try the vines special..You will not be disappointed

This inn is pleasantly situated in a quiet village. It is surprisingly modern inside, given its beautiful vine-clad exterior and, perhaps, a little lacking in cosiness and charm as a consequence.The rooms are functional in style - which is no bad thing - although it would have been good to be able to say the same thing about the shower, which was weak and pointed in most directions. And please don't start me on the ridiculousness of the whole wet room concept - who wants to paddle in to clean their teeth after a shower?There is not a great deal of sound-proofing between rooms, although this is mostly made up for by the quiet location.The food was ok, standard fare for both the pleasantly served breakfast and evening meal. Good value.

Stayed on business for one night. Room was excellent and very clean. I went for the homemade pizza for supper. absolutely amazing!! Good selection of ales and a very friendly warm atmosphere. I would definitely stay again...i

Off the beaten track but worthwhile if you are looking for a decent place to stay in the area. Quiet for sure even if RAF Brize Norton isn’t far away. Beautiful Norman church and small cemetery next door (containing some aviator war graves which is always a moment of quiet reflection). Rooms clean and spacious, only comment being the water pressure in the main building is low which doesn’t allow for a good wake-up shower. Spacious parking area behind the main building. Breakfast options are varied with juice, yoghurts, cereals, toast, full english cooked breakfast and variations around that which can also cater for vegetarians. Pleasant and friendly owners and staff. Would come back again.

Found this Hotel to be clean and a lovely cooked breakfast on the Sunday morning. We just had the one night on Saturday as we were going to my Granddaughters wedding which was only a mile away. The WiFi was excellent. There was a small TV on the wall and was quite adequate. The room was tiny but comfortable and there was a wet room. We had a patio room and it was lovely to sit out for a while. The location was very pretty and very quiet. I have paid less but it was a Bank Holiday and near my venue. I would book again if I had to.

Pleasant enough stay, clean and comfortable. Didn’t eat in the restaurant except for inclusive breakfast which again was ok.

The hotel is a mix of the old and new, which works well. Ate here in the evening. Really beautiful tasting food, served nicely and without fuss. However, no food available on Sunday evenings.

The food and the staff were fantastic however the rooms let it down. They need updating the bed was hard and uncomfortable the bathrooms are open shower rooms and after a shower they smelt of sewerage. If the rooms were updated and refurbished this would put the ratings up.

Please drive slowly off the road as Guinness the friendly old black lab sometimes greets you!

Wir haben beide Abende hier gespeist und waren echt zufrieden mit dem Preis Leistungs Verhältnis. Besonders das lokale Bier hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Am zweiten Abend war um kurz nach neun die Küche fast schon zu. Das sollte man vielleicht beachten

We stayed for one night only and although it's in the middle of nowhere, the building itself has a lot of character. We found the Staff to be very friendly, polite and helpful, especially after we had left some items of clothing in the wardrobe when we left, and they very kindly offered to post it back to us free of charge! We didn't stay for an evening meal but the menu looked very nice and the breakfast the next day was very good too. The only small complaint that we had was that our room was above the Bar, so it was a little bit noisy on occasions. Overall, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable stay in a very beautiful and picturesque part of town.

Este hotel era todo lo que esperábamos que sería después de pasar muchos días apresurándose por Londres y Essex. Para volver a los Cotswolds y encontrar este hermoso lugar tranquilo poco a estancia era justo lo que necesitábamos en el final de nuestro viaje. La fachada del hotel cuenta con el restaurante y bar, en un edificio separado en la parte de atrás estaba el aparcamiento y las habitaciones del hotel. Tuvimos tanta suerte de nuestra habitación era la última al final del edificio. La vista desde nuestra ventana era la de una pradera. La mejor parte es que esta pradera fue poblada de comprar al menos 20 conejos conejito todos tranquilamente ir sobre su día disfrutando de la tranquilidad y la seguridad de su zona aislada. Después descansamos de nuestro largo viaje de Essex, subimos al restaurante para la cena. La cocina italiana basada estaba muy bien hecho. Las comidas eran un poco caros y el servicio era un poco lento, pero estábamos en ninguna prisa, así que no importa, sólo un vaso de vino! La comida tuvo gran sabor y las porciones de la cena era muy agradable. Desayuno a la mañana siguiente te permitía conseguir huevos hechos a la orden y el tocino, junto con el típico yogur y cereales y frutas dispuestas para auto-servicio. La conexión wifi era estupendo, las camas eran cómodas y el baño era enorme!

Lovely supper with friends at The Vines a few days ago - excellent, attentive service, and very good food indeed - all in a lovely, out of the way location and at a reasonable price. Highly recommended - absolutely nothing to criticize.

Nos alojamos aquí porque íbamos a visitar a unos amigos en la zona que estaban organizando una fiesta.

Nos alojamos en las viñas por 2 noches a principios de julio. La bienvenida fue cálida y amable.

En general una estancia agradable fue el comienzo, ya que cuando llegué no había nadie en el bar/recepción y todo estaba oscuro. Una vez instalados en las habitaciones estaban bien, pero podría hacer con un poco de cuidado y yo estaba en la extensión posterior que hacía frío por la noche y el radiador no estaba conectado, pero una vez en el interior era agradable. La comida era genial y los precios están bien para la zona. El desayuno era muy agradable también, y en general, una estancia presente y volvería para una parada mientras está lejos.

Nos alojamos aquí por una noche y realmente disfrutamos del lugar. La habitación era bastante pequeña, pero muy limpio y bien presentado. Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. El restaurante es bastante grande y podrían haber estado un poco más caliente, pero realmente eso fue lo único negativo. Pedí las parras de pollo, porque no podía imaginar lo que sabe como. Pollo con cangrejo fue en un mostaza, salsa de brandy y crema, absolutamente precioso. Ambos tuvimos tiramisú de postre y me pareció que estaba muy sabroso, pero no tiramisú. Muy buen café para terminar.

Ardy and Karen the owners are lovely, charm and friendliness personified. Accomodation is popular with local Brize Norton military staf so book early. Great wee base camp for exploring The Cotswolds. Bar art is interesting. Sunday lunch lovely. Walk off the excess of lunch with a wee walk.

Llegó de improviso la escapada de fin de semana momento para Burford y el único lugar disponible era la vid. A la llegada nos recibieron gratamente, pero dijeron que el menú que habíamos visto en línea no estaba disponible y que sólo podríamos tener pizza y ensalada. o Le pregunté a qué hora el bar permanecía abierta hasta y me dijeron que iban a cerrar tan pronto como sea posible (8:30). Era domingo, pero fin.

I had the pleasure of staying here recently on business. What a great place, the rooms are well appointed and comfortable and have everything you need. I only had one criticism and that was the size of the TV in relation to its distance from the bed, I would have needed binoculars to view it, fortunately the staff are so friendly and welcoming that the only time spent in my room was sleeping. The bar is very comfortable and relaxed and the restaurant offers excellent food. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be staying again.

Working nearby and stopped here for dinner, staff were pleasant and the pizza was spot on, made in a pizza oven thick pieces of chorizo. Only issue for me was the selection of ales, there was only one.

I came here on my Works Christmas Do. The chef had 3 weeks notice to come up with something that was vegan but Christmasy for me.I was disappointed to say the least at what I was served all they could say in their defence was "we don't really get many vegans so we didn't know what to cook".I said "you could of googled some recipe ideas?"Anyway I had parsnip soup (this was actually quite nice), reheated risotto (it had to go back as it was half hot and half cold where they had microwaved it) and a bowl of chopped up fruit for dessert :( (literally grapes, apple, banana, orange) no soya cream or dairy free ice cream to liven it up abit.Everyone else after they had enjoyed their desserts were offered chocolates and mince pies with their coffee and they said they didn't have anything to give me. Fair enough if I had given them no notice but they had been given 3 weeks!!The chef didn't seem to take any pride or care with my dinner, just a "that'll do attitude" :(

generally pretty good, everything you need is right there. Shame it's the winter now as the nights are too dark and you can't go exploring the local countryside but room to a good standard. Even the apple moulded table light - truly odd and unique at the same time. Only minor criticism would be that the bathroom/shower is a wet room, which in my humble opinion, doesn't really work too well in the UK. Whole shower room floor is soaked after you've finished and it's too cold to dry so you end up with wet feet everytime you re-enter. Probably be ok if you don't wash your hair.Other than that, happy with staying here for one night. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on quality.

Went to the vines with a couple of friends What a disaster ! The service shocking no one seemed to no what was going on ? Chief behind bar but weird ! Food terrible never again! used to be a good place for a meal not anymore don't bother !!!!!!

Although the hotel is clean and so are the rooms, the rooms have a musty smell, uninviting and as if they're not used often. Clean however worn. Would prefer accommodation more modern or refurbished. Unfortunately there aren't many in this area to serve Brize Norton.

The food was very nice. Friendly and attentive service.There was selection of coffees, only filter coffee was on offer.

great service and peaceful surroundingsSuperb food and lovely villageWould love to stay longer next time

Stopped for one night last week and found The Vines up a quiet lane. Plenty of parking and a warm welcome. This is a restaurant and bar with rooms, There are some rooms outside in a small annex and others in the main building. I was upstairs and the room was quit comfortable with en suite facilities. Little niggles are the glass shelf above the sink, why do hotels etc insist on this stupid location. As usual it was on a slope so nothing could stay on it. In addition you usually hit your head on the shelf on the way down for a face wash or on the way back up!! No shelf in the shower either so have to put shampoo etc on the floor. The shower was very good and the towels also good. Tea and coffee provided plus small tv. Dinner was very good with a steak and vegetables plus the beer 'Old Hookey' was particularly good. Good selection of desserts but settled on the cheese selection. Breakfast was very good with a buffet of cereals and juice with the waiter providing cooked food to order.
