The hotel is large and appears to be very well set up for large groups. The bars have plenty of space and are well furnished. However there are several areas the hotel has compromised on. The staff are young and whilst polite do not appear to be well trained. There is not enough of them resulting in long waiting times to be served. The breakfasts, whether in the spike bar or breakfast room are expensive and of very poor quality. The evening meal was good but think the guy in charge, serving us our pre-ordered food, was going for a speed record on how quick he could get our starter, main and desserts out. Lastly if you fancied a pint of guiness be prepared to pay £9! As we were there for the golf it wasn’t something that spoilt our 2 days, but would suggest with a bit of effort the hotel could make significant improvements.
The Oxfordshire Golf Club is a fantastic championship layout designed by esteemed golf architect Rees Jones who is responsible for the creation of courses such as Torrey Pines and Bethpage Black so you can rest assured knowing you are in for a real treat here.
The course is set in the heart of the Chiltern Hills and incorporates the natural landscapes, creating an exciting challenge for a whole range of golfing ability. Although the course is flanked by nothing but pure English countryside, The Oxfordshire is very accessible, located less than 30 minutes from Oxford and within an hour of London.
The accommodation at the Oxfordshire is of outstanding quality, pure luxury throughout, guests will enjoy a number of first-class facilities such as The Tempus Spa, The Sakura Restaurant and even clay pigeon shooting.
