A lovely traditional pub with log burner on the go. Lunch was delicious in a relaxed, warm & cosy atmosphere. Great hospitality, nice menu choice & nothing was too much trouble. Good choice of ales as well. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Highwayman Hotel Kidlington Horrible experience. 897940665 Extremely disappointing stay despite being reassured by other reviews before booking - Signage has deteriorated, so no way to know you've arrived in the dark. Only boarding leads to industrial estate next-door. - No one to chk in, eventually found off duty staff member who kindly assisted. - Room 7 well... Grimy,dirty,mouldy with strong smell sewage. - Asked for manager next day and left note for him to call. Nick Devall has just called 2 days later exacerbated the situation by laughing at me while I tried to explain. No discussion/options offerred to resolve explained room not worth £108, which he agreed, when asked how much room is he said £100 ??? Still dont understand why he thinks would be worth £100. In our opinion we should have been paid that to stay there. Have photos happy to share. Please o not book and be disappointed.

The staff were very friendly room was clean tidy and comfortable, Very comfy bed and warm room, good TV and use of a phone and free Wi Fi my only criticism in no proper shower ok for overnight but not good for a few days stay, adequate parking and friendly bar downstairs, which did not affect us in anyway

Warm country pub next to canal; lovely setting. We stayed in November fires were on and so was the heating in our room so lovely and warm. We ate in the restaurant and the vegan winter greens pie with mash was delicious. Most importantly they are dog friendly and the dogs are allowed in accommodation and restaurant with lovely walks nearby. Accommodation clean; the warmth and dog friendliness means I would stay again 🐶❤️

We kast stayed here in September 2021 and were very happy with our stay (see Review for September 2021. So we decided to stay again when in the Oxford area. Told to book direct with the Hotel on its website because we would there get the best prices. We did not! The price quoted by the barely competent receptionist was the same as on *********** and we were told that there was no further reduction. Arriving at the hotel we were seurprised to kearn that the kiychen was closed (no reason given) and we would be informed when it opened -- we should have been told this at the time of booking. Our invoice described the room we were givin (Bedroom 4, The Green Room) as "Standard, Double, En Suite". It was (is) akin to a broom cupboard, about 8 feet (2.4 metres) by 10 feet (3.0 metres). The large (very comfortable) double bed occupies 30 per cent of the floor area and requires single traffic on two sides. The main(!) area is furnished with a single wooden chsir and a small dressing table/desk. The "wardrobe" is a wooden plank nailed 14 inches (35 centimetres) from the outside wall at the foot of the bed, with two shelves at the bottom and no closure. There is no storsge for clothes (e.g. a chest of drawers) and no stand on which to deposit any luggage. The en suite is a dingy box with a shower, wash basin and toilet: the toiletries comprise a liquid soap dispenser. There is no socket for electric razors and the mirrir is not sufficiently well lit to allow a proper shave. Comparing this Standaard room with the very spacious Room 3, The Silver Room, that we occupied on our first visit is a mockery and charging the same price (£75, no breakfast) is an insult. Needless tto say we shall not be going back!

What can I say about this place... well I'll start with Ashley and Will. Ashley went above and beyond expectations for our wedding here in July this year. He was helpful, accomodating and full of ideas to help create the perfect reception for our guests on our special day. We were given several options for food and went for a full on BBQ buffet with our additional requests which everyone commented on as exceptional! Ashley and Will helped every step of the way- from booking the rooms, storing our cake to creating a fabulous surprise in our room for our wedding night. They went above and beyond every step of the way! The Highwayman hotel is set in a beautiful location, the pub itself has so much character with a big garden, on the canalside and with plenty to do for the kids. Expect a warm welcome and amazing food. If you ever need somewhere to meet up with family or friends or even for a small event like ours- enquire and ask for Ashley or Will. You will receive a warm welcome, hastle free booking and the most relaxing experience. We honestly couldn't have asked for anything more for our perfect day 💓 thankyou team. PS- try the duck fries!!
