We were staying in Chipping Norton for one night, which seemed to be exceptionally busy for people eating. We called into the Crown & Cushion and had a really enjoyable meal with drinks. …

There was a noisy party with music blaring quite late If I knew this was happening I would most definitely not have stayed here. Location is good. Room was a bit tired, dated and cold. No heating at all. The pub itself was quirky

A lovely welcoming hotel in the town center. Walking to the back of the hotel entrance, lined with hanging baskets full of beautiful flowers it instantly relaxes you. The staff are so polite and attentive, the breakfast was wonderful, such a spread of everything you can imagine for a continental breakfast and a waiter sees that you have everything you need.The room was very clean and tidy, with a little kettle and tea/coffee and biscuits or gin and tonic if you like, on arrival.I recommend this hotel as one of the best I have ever stayed at , like a home from home.

A little expensive for what it is as the rooms are very dated but the rooms are clean and tidy the shower could have some with the head being replaced as it was covered in mould but that was the only bad Point in terms of cleaning etc. downstairs is lovely and has great history. I had a bad experience where I had an item of medication stolen (tramadol) which is obviously a controlled drug where I contacted the hotel and the police regarding this. The hotel offered to compensate me but refused to acknowledge that anything had been done and even attempted to say if must have been someone from outside which is also concerning. Overall I wouldn't stay here again as clearly someone can't be trusted the hotel even attempted to demand that I removed my review
