Oxford Belfry Hotel, The Library

Me and my daughter had a wonderful spa day. I had treatments done by a lady called Claire it was the best I have ever had, the staff was welcoming, the food was nice, the only let down was children in the pool, when having a spa day you expect quiet time to relax. I think children should have a set time to use the pool, maybe after 5pm when spa days are over. But all in all very nice spa day, many thanks Trudy..

This hotel is a good choice because we had been to Blenheim Palace for the day. We stayed two nights so opted for a junior sweet. Room 342, the room on the whole was fine. The room is a parcula shape, it's rectangular but with two box shapes in it. I guess these were the neighbours bathrooms no doubt. Unfortunately there were cobwebs in the top corners above the window, a huge spider above the bathroom door, a splatted bug on the bathroom ceiling and the bath panel has bad water damage. Non of these game changing but a little disappointed really for the money. The restaurant was amazing, the food, drink and staff were spot on. And a big shout out to Lilly our waitress. Very smart and professional and only 18 years old. She is also the food and drink supervisor. She will go fair in this business I'm sure. Because we had a two day stay we decided to use the spa. I opted for a pedicure and my kind lady went for a swim. The pool was a good temperature. But the pool area was dirty, the large air vent cover was thick with dust, the floor had a lot of long hair on it and the concrete pool edge has green algae on it.

Wow - what an amazing experience. The afternoon tea was superb and the service from Ally, who served us, was absolutely outstanding. We got married here 15 years ago and returned for afternoon tea as a little treat. Luckily for us the Orangery (where we actually got married) was open so we had afternoon tea on the very spot where we said our vows! Once Ally found out about this she spoke to the chef who prepped us this lovely platter which really finished off the day beautifully. First class food and service, and a genuinely lovely afternoon. Well done everyone, especially Ally, who delivered the best service we’ve had in a long long time. Would definitely recommend!
