The Harcourt Arms - Table reservation

This Hotel does not do a buffet breakfast fine but the availability of basic items every morning was really not acceptable. (We stayed 3 days). For example : no fruit no hash browns no yogurt no brown bread and one morning when they were clearly very busy only 12 eggs between everyone. The white bread tasted stale on the Monday morning I had to have mine toasted. Total mismanagement of the person responsible for the ordering of kitchen stock . The breakfast menu only provided two cereals Granola or porridge. The juice tasted as if it was from concentrate the Yogurt if they had any was only plain. There were no bread rolls croissants pastries available. The coffee was good though and the one...

A warm welcome was really absent on arriving at the Harcourt arms for an overnight stay and dinner on Saturday evening. A 'How was your journey ' 'did you find us ok ' 'have you had a good day ' would 've been small touches but would 've made a positive difference to our arrival. Even an enthusiastic smile would 've been welcoming at the very least.

Stayed for one night en route . Upgraded to the Blenheim suite ! Wow ….it didn’t disappoint.Everything top notch ! Booked Dinner Food was served in dog friendly dining room . Sadly only four people dining ,so atmosphere a little lacking . I had Rotisserie chicken with juices . Half a roasted chicken ,nothing special at all £20) Potatoes extra at £5 as not included . No veg …..Nothing at all special I’m afraid.Husband had the Gammon ,again just average but at £18 expected it to be better. A shame really as we had high hopes of a delicious culinary experience…..wasn’t bad but just OK

We enjoyed a remarkable 2 nights at the Harcourt Arms, checking in on a Sunday evening and leaving Tuesday AM. All staff were very welcoming engaging. Our room was exceptional (we booked the suite which is highly recommended! and the Harcourt Arms is very well placed geographically for Oxford, The Cotswolds, Bicester etc. The ladies at breakfast were lovely and the food (both breakfasts dinner were of a very good quality. We cannot recommend this 'gem ' highly enough and will definitely be returning one day... For those travelling with 4 paws it 's a super warm welcome also!

Midweek so it was quiet. Friendly service. Decent food. A bit expensive for what it is but decent none-the-less and a better experience than my previous visit some time ago.
