Location very near Blenheim palace and easy to get to,, breakfast was good. They are happy to do item substitutions to their full breakfast but you need to state choices that explicitly.

Laundry has a strong detergent smell to it and affected our sleep.

Service was excellent, had a issue with the electric fan in our room, but this was dealt with, unfortunately the next 2 replacement fans also stopped working, but credit to the staff the located a new fan which solved the problem.
