Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Heyford Hotel is often praised for its modern and stylish design, with guests frequently highlighting the lovely and spacious rooms, some featuring stunning bathrooms and large windows. The hotel's proximity to Bicester Village is also a plus for many. While some guests felt the minibar items were overpriced given the nearby Sainsbury's, many appreciate the decent food and drink available at the bar and restaurant, along with the inclusive breakfast that offers diverse egg options, even available for takeaway. The bowling alley is also a much appreciated feature.
