As a hotel manager I have high expectations and the Dashwood has never let me down. I stayed in June 2010 and my fiancee who is a chef is a very fussy eater and like me has high expectations, she had no complaints about the food and she even asked the chefs for a recipe. Our second stay was on... More

We booked a family room for 2 nights after reading the great reviews here on trip advisor and for its superb location as we were visiting friends in Oxford and wanted to go shopping at Bicester Village. Upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff who made a fuss of the children and didnt rush into getting unloaded, we... More

My wife and I called in for lunch today, merely as a passing customer. We were made very welcome by all the staff, who were very accommodating. We both had a two course lunch with wine and I have to say it was the best sunday lunch we have both had for many years. We will return in the not... More

Having just arrived home from a wonderful "driving by - spur of the moment" Sunday lunch I can honestly say my husband and I have just had one of the most delicious meals ever. Our first visit to The Dashwood, we will definitely return another day. Admittedly, the meal was a little slow coming but well worth the wait. Well... More

It was our first time visiting this quaint little village. We came across this lovely hotel/restaurant in search of an hearty english dinner. We were greeted warmly by the staff, who were all incredibly helpful throughout the evening. A satisfying meal was had by all. After dinner, we had coffee's a great conversation with managemnet in the bar area. The... More

After a busy week my partner and I decided to "treat" ourselves to a well earned lazy Sunday and booked The Dashwood for lunch having visited several times before, we could not have got it more wrong...the service was terrible and when the food did arrive it certainly wasn't worth the wait, lukewarm and tasteless with potatoes that would be...

We stayed at The Dashwood for 2 nights last month. On the whole it is a lovely hotel and great for visiting Oxford (although the hotel is in the middle of a small village so driving is essential). If you are staying at this hotel, I would really recommend you ask for breakfast to be included since there isn't really... More

Haven't been here for a couple of years, thought we'd try it out again, so pleased we did! The menu is not huge but there is still plenty of choice and all the selections were fresh and where possible, local, produce. All dishes ordered were delicious and pleasing to the eye. I had lovely fresh salad and smoked salmon with... More

I booked this hotel for a family party as we had eaten there before - we live quite close by. Family came from all over and it was ideal. The welcome from Scott and his team was fantastic and he helped put my 85 year old mother at her ease. The village is very 'English' and Kirtlington House grounds provided... More
