All in all a good...

Liked: The Weston Manor Hotel is in a 15th century manor house. The locale is great, between Oxford and Bicester, easy to get to by car, lovely countryside all around.We stayed for two nights. Breakfast was a la carte on the first morning and buffet on the second. They were both very good in general.We stayed in the Chapel Suite - highly recommended and characterful, in keeping with the historic manor house. It's not often you get to sleep in a proper old-school four-poster bed! It'd be hard to find a room like this at a better price - you'd easily pay double the amount for a room like this in most other places.
Disliked: Unfortunately, if you're looking for a stay in a characterful hotel that is in keeping with the historic and culturally significant building, unless you stay in the Chapel Suite, you're going to be disappointed. It would have been nice if the rest of the hotel, including the other rooms, had been furnished in a manner more sensitive to the beautiful building. The hotel describes that 'the manor has been carefully brought into the present day without losing an ounce of its original character.' Whilst the Chapel Suite and the great hall are beautiful and tastefully presented, as can be seen in the photos on booking.com much of the hotel has indeed lost quite a lot of its original character.

Exceptional

Absolutely amazing we will definitely...

Liked: Absolutely Stunning Stay – Can’t Wait to Return!From the moment we arrived at this beautiful stately manor, we felt welcomed and cared for. The manor & gardens were impressive & beautifully presented. Staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and went out of their way to accommodate my medical needs, especially during mealtimes – which meant the world to me.Speaking of meals… the evening dinner was simply exceptional – hands down the best food I have ever tasted. We were delighted to learn from the staff that everything is made using fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can truly taste the difference. Even the bar snacks were fantastic – full of flavour and beautifully presented. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to experience the Afternoon Tea there, which looks absolutely delicious..Our room was just as impressive – spacious, elegant, with a super comfy bed and a lovely, large bathroom complete with a powerful shower. Everything was spotless and tastefully decorated.The location is ideal – just a stone’s throw from Blenheim Palace and Bicester Village, making it perfect for exploring the area.Truly loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back again very soon!

Good

Liked: The hotel is situated in beautiful grounds, which would make a summer stay extra special. The building itself is very atmospheric and fascinating.
Disliked: This was probably a fault of Booking.com and not the hotel, but due to knee issues I booked a more expensive room which the website indicated had a bath, but it didn’t. When I spoke with the people on reception they said it would be a shower or bath, but the website was misleading if that is the case. I often need the bath to calm down my knees so I can sleep, so I booked the room with the bath because I needed it. The staff showed me alternative rooms, but they weren’t suitable. There was also an issue with the shower water going into the bedroom, which we informed them about. However they are dealing with an old house.The bar was very pleasant and the dining room impressive. Although the chairs in the panelled dining room were very uncomfortable. I think the breakfast should be set out in the main room rather than the hallway. We had an unfortunate wait for the last of 6 dinners to be served, which meant we were all waiting for a long time to eat. However at checkout they compensated us for this. We felt the staff were friendly and trying hard.
