This is a lovely and really old property with very interesting features. Unfortunately it is not now used to its full potential but was a comfortable place to stay for a night. We had everything we needed even though one or two places could do with updating. Meals, other than a buffet breakfast, are not provided, so it would be necessary to find somewhere else for an evening.

Jersey Arms

It was easy to find and the car park had a clear sign. The reception was also clearly signed. The receptionist was welcoming. The room was superficially clean but when I turned over the pillow there were black dots all over it. The bed was nicely presented but when I untucked it the sheets were still damp. The en-suite was a good size but the whole toilet wobbled from the base, when you sat on it. I accidentally went to the wrong room, my key opened the door fine - a shock to me and the relaxing occupants. Thankfully the room door had chains on the inside. I would’ve reported this but there was no one around in the morning.

The property was lovely - but sadly in need of repairs- our room was clean and acceptable - we got what we paid for - staff were friendly enough - shame about the overall appearance of what was a beautiful building at some point - the water wasn’t good to drink at all - so advise not to drink

this stay is misleading. the Jersey arms is not a public house, it does not do meals, and the layout is cramped but adequate.

Good for price, pleasant area near Bicester, some rooms face road, although not much traffic, cars passing can be disturbing. Other rooms are quiet. Overall good

A stay of 2 halves

A tale of2 halves, first night the room we stayed in was not great, see photos. Second night we were moved to another room which was so much better. Staff were so helpful, couldn’t fault them. I agree both with the 1 star and 5 star reviews that I’ve seen, it’s all dependent on the room you are in. Make sure you don’t pick a standard room! Saying all that I would stay again, it’s not far from Bicester village and there are some lovely pubs nearby. Breakfast is basic, but ok, just pastries, toast and yoghurt

Tired and in poor condition

The place is tired and needs a major overhaul. The bedrooms are tiny and the shower over the bath arrangement is so 10 years ago. Breakfast was adequate for pre-packed stuff. Nothing gluten free for my wife apart from a yoghurt. The price charged is for a better quality place. I wouldn't stay again and would advise any friends to stay.

Do not belueve the pictures

Not what we were expecting. Pictures portray a country pub in the cotswolds. In reality this is a very rundown buIlding which was once a pub giving an amateurish attempt at a B&B.

Checked out immediately!

For a start, whilst this place appears to be a pub and you might expect to sit in the lovely beer garden or bar pictured it's not. There is no pub or restaurant they closed down a long time ago. The place is a tired disappointment from parking. Everything is tired and dirty. The pillows had blood stains on, mattress is a cheap memory foam and the bed base had a layer of dust. The blind was down with a sign saying 'sorry I'm injured' which looked like it had been injured for a long time with the layer of dust. Even the toilet bowl was brown and would welcome some bleach. We checked straight back out immediately and lost £105 it was that bad. To add insult to injury the hotel lied to hotels.com and said that they offered us a different room and upgrade which they did not!

Good intentions. Lack of investment resources! First impressions: (Superior Double) Having visited many years ago (under different ownership) I was disappointed to see the buildings & surroundings had deteriorated, lacking maintenance. The room was reasonably clean & quiet, with adequate bathroom facilities & plentiful, instant hot water. The room was well facilitated with fan, ironing board, hair dryer, lighting, furnishings etc., but the fridge was not functioning & the weather & room were hot. Thankfully, we carry our own mobile mini fridge & were able to use this in the room. The room smelled strongly of body odour, which we tried to dissipate by opening windows, using the room fan & our own freshener sprays. We rely heavily on WiFi access. Despite being specified, we could not get a connection in the room. The password repeatedly failed, although the QR code worked, but gave very poor intermittent access. Poor, local signal strength provided no mobile data. The TV was problematic, and the lack of WiFi access as a substitute, exacerbated the problem. The one member of staff we encountered was very polite and helpful to a couple of special requests. Despite many years of using hotels, we had always specified "Full English breakfast" and never stayed where only continental breakfast was available, but we were pleased with what was on offer (except for lack of the traditional English marmalade in the jam selection) and we left well sated.

Checked out almost immediately

The room was not well cleaned, there was no working bar and I started to feel itchy. The room was single glazing next to a busy road. Shortly after check-in, I checked out and went to another hotel.

Quirky little gem of a hotel

Love this little gem of a hotel. Quirky and all the rooms are very different but always comfortable. Staff are always very helpful and welcoming and breakfast and wifi is included which is a nice touch at this price range. Don't expect 5* or a perfectly maintained hotel but you will have a comfortable and great value stay in a nice location with plenty of free parking.

Do not stay here.

The outside of this hotel looks pretty but inside very dated, run down and dirty. Every wall we saw was grubby and dusty. Our bedroom was rundown and the bathroom. There was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling having fallen out. The bed was a disgrace. The mattress had collapsed on one side so was like sleeping on a flat spring. The other side was broken towards the end of the bed too. The breakfast was very basic. No staff at desk to raise these issues
