We had a lovely room at the top level of the building, it was very spacious and was very in fitting with the manor experience, loved it!
The staff were very friendly through out our stay and were very accommodating. They seemed to do multiple roles, e.g. from reception to bar, etc. which was fine, just to note it.
We dined at the manor one evening. The food was quite tasty and the service weas great. However, I felt we were coraled to a back dining room to make way for a wedding party in the main dining room. It wasn't a terrible dining room, but I felt somehow like I was short changed.
Breakfast was only OK, nothing to comaplain about, but not wow either.
We drank at the bar both evenings, it was very quiet, not sure what other guests were doing as they weren't to be seen! We took our drinks to the garden and it was a nice, tranquil experience.
On the second evening we went to a fabulous Japanese restaurant in Biceste, Mizu Japanese Ikakaya, felt very authentic. It rounded off our visit to the Bicester area quite nice.
I'd stay again.
