The Highwayman Hotel

Room was suitable with two singles, ensuite.

This hotel just exudes character and charm. You can truly feel its three centuries of history, and the stories that filled its walls. However, while you are never far from history in the Highwayman, this is a hotel with all the modern amenities you need. My room had two large, flatscreen televisions, coffee and tea-making facilities (with high quality tea, coffee and hot chocolate provided), hot and powerful shower, laundry facilities, and powerful Wi-Fi all over the property. The room was clean and fresh. Windows can be opened and, considering I stayed in summer, this provided a refreshing breeze throughout the day. Beds were extremely comfortable and I had enough pillows to sleep at a right angle, if I wished. The room was tastefully decorated and managed to retain the charm and heritage of the structure. Outside, one is met by the magnificent garden and outdoor dining area. Tidy grass but the hotel is surrounded by handsome trees and hedges, keeping you close to nature. The Oxford canal runs by and this is an excellent opportunity for an evening walk, or to sip a coffee while watching the pretty boats go past. What can I say about the staff? Nothing was too much for them. They were so obliging and ensured any need was met. They were also the friendliest and most welcoming people you are likely to meet. They knew I was in Oxford for a college interview, and so they were extreme encouraging, ensured my suit was was ironed, and made sure to wish me the best of luck on the morning of the interview. I selected the Highwayman not just because it was very fairly priced, but because I knew its location (far enough from the hustle and bustle while a short bus ride to Oxford) was just what I needed. It gave me a quiet location to take my mind off the stress of the interview, but a regular and quick bus into Oxford passing the hotel, so I could easily get to the college on the morning of the interview.

The room was a good size as was the shower room. Beds were comfortable. We had an evening meal there of fish, chips and peas which was very nice and good value for money. The staff were polite, friendly and very helpful - e.g pointing us in the right direction to get the bus into Oxford! Lovely outside area by the canal to sit and have a drink on a nice evening. Somewhere I would stay again if in the area.

Ive just come back from here for the weekend and i must say what a lovely place it is, the canal is beautiful it would be even better in the summer time, my stay was perfect the room was bright and airy, very clean, the bed was super comfy and the food was divine defo recommend the full cooked breakfast the staff were also really nice and friendly always checking in to make sure everything was ok we had the pleasure of some folk singers on friday evening too, id give the highwaymen a 10/10 thank guys for a lovely experience hopefully we will be back for another stay in the summer 👍👌

Lovely position near the canal, so easy access for dog walks. We were made very welcome and the staff were all very friendly. The room size was great with plenty of space for our two dogs.
