Yes, the bathroom was not clean (hair behind the door). The noise was quite loud from the traffic outside.

I also requested breakfast, but when I came to the cafe, nobody was there. I had to then leave because I was late.

Excellent customer service and beautiful rooms with hot water and decent water pressure. TV didn't seem to get a signal, but the wifi was good. There is fresh milk for your tea or coffee downstairs, but there wasn't quite enough for the multiple cups I drink in a day ;). A bottle of water in-room would be great, there were some refillable bottles of water near the fridge with the milk downstairs, but it smelled a bit musty when I opened it, so I just used tap, which seemed fine.

There aren't any nearby grocers and the buses are not regular, so come prepared with non-perishable snacks, bottled water, instant soups, etc. for when the cafe is not open (no fridges or microwaves) a bit of a trek to local pubs, though all of the nearby pubs are lovely.

Great for someone with a car, a bit of extra planning needed if you're bus-bound. Ask pubs about local, trusted taxi services and what your fees *should* be as uber does not really work here (the app says it does, but I assure you, you will wait an hour+ and the fees will be insane).

Make sure you research any day trips and the bus schedules in advance.

Lovely clean room. Stylish and nice bed. Some disappointments - the complimentary drink wouldn’t even stretch to a coffee - simply a coke so I declined. Old plumbing meant there was only (too hot) water in the sink. Noisy road.

No one to welcome you on arrival, and the place was deserted. Then very noisy after 11 pm, suddenly came alive. TV and toilet flushing in another room. Thin walls. Very bright light on the fire alarm.

Lovely stay

We stayed in the chic room which was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. If we were to stay in the area again I would most definitely choose to stay at The Cherry tree.

Comfortable stop over.

Nice quiet village, bnb Very comfortable. Good breakfast. Shame theres no restaurant close but and couldn't get a food delivery ( min order value too high) I was able to collect a takeaway and bring it back to the room which provides plates and cutlery.

So disappointing. Some guy who works/lives there called me up without saying who he was to ask when I was checking in. I didn't appreciate it was a B&B so after 5 there is no food, no bar, no lounge. Just a hot room with no Aircon . Seeing the ear plugs on the tiny desk was a bad sign. The bed has wooden slats that had not been properly secured so the cheap nasty bed collapsed as soon as I say on it and I had to rebuild it. The lights were faulty. Honestly just miserable. It cost me something like £132 and that was discounted. A week before I had stayed in a beautiful clean, air-conditioned, large room in Ipswich with my wife and with free breakfast for less than £100. Without any exaggeration I was charged way over the value of the room. I've stayed in more comfortable hostels. I would maybe stay there for £30 tops. Even worse the one guy working in the place seemed to have no idea of the local area. It was a Tuesday and I found a pub that didn't serve dinner, another that didn't do evening meals on a Tuesday and several other false starts at finding any food. In the end I bought a sandwich from the nearby co-op and ate in the heat of my noisy room on the broken bed. Honestly avoid, save your money.

A really great place to stay. Breakfast was first class. My only concern was the security arrangement for entering the property. This was delivered remotely. I would prefer a friendly face to greet me on arrival.

However, this did not detract from a very pleasant customer experience overall.

High quality stay on The Ridgeway

Newly renovated and very up to date. Breakfast perfect choices. Bit daunting by self check in but no issues. Only downsides were the walk from The Ridgeway down a busy road (hotel can’t help that!), and that there was no food in the evening (but crockery provided if takeaway ordered ( leaflets provided)).

Exceptional B&B

Beautiful B&B, would absolutely recommend. Clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, well cooked locally sourced breakfast. 6 /7 minutes from the motorway. Service is exceptional and friendly. My dad loves to stay at here when visiting family and won’t stay anywhere else .

Satisfactory but needs a few tweaks

A very clean B&B in Contemporary style. No Reception, but coded key card retrieval to gain entry to rooms. Breakfast was excellent and more than adequate selection for self serve + I had Salmon & Scrabbled eggs off the menu which was delicious.
Only criticism was the cheap mattress - extremely soft and not really suitable for the +50's or those that may have back trouble. Also, no sound proof and I was able to hear every movement in room above me. There was also a potential trip hazard with mats covering a very slippery decking outside in order to access the car park.

Good value and worth another visit

The room and shower were really clean and the decor, fixtures and fittings were of a really high standard with a super comfortable bed and great shower (despite it being shared; we wouldn’t normally stay anywhere without an en-suite but misread the info on Hotels.com so had no choice).

Slightly annoying, the TV is not set up to the right date and time and we had to keep retuning it in but that is a minor issue.

The room was too small for us and felt a bit cramped. Ordering a takeaway one night we had to eat it on the bed which was uncomfortable.

The owner and staff were friendly and helpful despite not being onsite after 4pm but respond quickly to texts/calls.

There was a great choice for breakfast with lots of choice. We must mention the overnight oats - delicious 😋

We would definitely return but next time request a bigger room with an en-suite.

No privacy

We were not at all happy with our tiny room and having to share the shower room with total strangers. So we found somewhere else to stay.

Nice place marred by poor managerial attitude

Nice place. We’d mistakenly (our fault) booked two shared bathroom rooms. We asked if they could look at availability of own bathroom rooms. The assistant was trying to be helpful but the Polish lady manager intervened and was dismissive clearly not wanting the trouble such as it was of switching rooms. (We’d not used our existing rooms at all.) it left a sour taste. She was also unhelpful about breakfast times. A shame because all the other staff couldn’t have been nicer.

We remember the Cherry Tree as a pub but now a B & B and cafe. It has been updated very tastefully and although we had a small room it had everything we wanted. The breakfast had a wide range of options, all the cooking done to order. I loved the overnight soaked oats with a topping of yoghurt and seeds and nuts, very yummy!

We spent a couple of nights here this weekend with our two small pups. It was well situated for what we wanted to visit - Bicester Village, Waddesdon Manor and Hughenden House.

We hadn't realised the rooms were quite so small but it was immaculate and only for two nights. Everything we needed was there and we enjoyed the 'Hollywood' theme in our room - one of the two reserved for pups to stay in - not that you'd know it.

The only way I'd improve is to have a couple of pillows each on the bed - on the 2nd night I'd forgotten to ask during the day and was lucky to find one in the store room - I felt a bit rude looking in but it made all the difference to my nights sleep so thank you!

A nice touch having a small fridge in the corridor with small bottles of fresh milk for tea/coffee. Good to have decaf coffee bags too for the evening. The cafe on site was wonderful - perfect for the included breakfast - great choice of cereals, pastries and cooked - my choice was smashed avocado with fried egg - my other half the scrambled egg and salmon .... perfect way to start the day!

Lovely dog - Coco - was there with the owner ... it was her birthday so she was off to chase squirrels! I hope she had fun but that she didn't actually catch any ... that is our dogs' track record too! :-)

Special place to stay!

The rooms, and indeed the whole hotel is tastefully finished to an extremely high standard which totally reflects the owners’ care and attention to detail. The parking spaces are attributed to the rooms so parking is guaranteed. The weather was exceptionally hot during my stay, once again the owners went out of their way to make me as comfortable as possible. A gem of a place made exceptional by the level of service. Thank you.
