Shillingford Bridge Hotel Reviews

It was an experience however, we wont return. £97 for the night wasn’t even the cheapest in the area! Its very tired, dirty and run down. We booked an accessible room and was given first floor with no lift. Luckily not in a wheelchair chair but still had low mobility. It wasn’t great I fell downstairs on the first evening as the tread on the stairs are very narrow, the carpet is up and the tape is barely holding it together. The place is literally held together by gaffa tape, I struggle to see how they are meeting basic health and safety. The room Had sockets off the wall which were live. Shower had parts missing from it. Bed bases broken and dirty. No heating working so was given a floor heater with no pat testing on it. Holes in the wall. List goes on. There was some good bits The staff are very friendly. Breakfast had a good selection for the buffet. No hot coffee or hot selection though. Parking was free. Good views of the river. This place has potential to be amazing due to the location. But needs about £100k spending on it. Also: Be warned of the recommended Taxis from the hotel, they are very expensive. £64 to go 4 miles, they were called Go Green taxi, it wasn’t even late at 4pm in the afternoon! When asked for the meter was told they don’t have one as private hire!

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location! The riverside setting makes for a lovely view! We stayed in a spacious suite and were accommodated with an extra bed with no problem at all. Decor is a little dated and the accommodation could have been a little cleaner however, the staff were wonderful and the breakfast was great! We would stay here again, thank you for a lovely stay!

Having seen the previous reviews, we were unsure what to expect. Yes, parts of the hotel need updating, but we had a lovely big room with a river view. It was clean and tidy, plenty if storage and a beautiful bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed the freshly cooked breakfast. On the whole we thought it was good value for money and will stay again.

Comfortable, warm room and great shower. Decor / carpets in hall and surroundings a tad dated and shabby. Good breakfast and polite, helpful service

Just a 1 night stop over while working in the area. All hotel staff were very friendly and the service for food and drinks was warm and welcoming. The hotel in general looked clean but a little dated in decor, same in the room. The room was spacious but no light shades and curtain hanging off don't give great impressions. Evening meal was good and nice size portion (even though I'm not one for eating off wooden boards), don't they have plates in Oxford lol. All in all with its lovely location and with a good makeover it would be a lovely hotel. Hopefully will return sometime.

Very warm welcome from the staff and the attended to our needs on time.

The property is in a very poor state of repair, the carpets are minging and the room cleaning and servicing was almost non existent. The food was good, largely and the bar service was very good. But there is no lift and some very tricky staircases, so not good for anyone with mobility challenges.

This is a great location for a nice hotel and it is a great pity that this is a shabby and depressing stay. The people tried hard to make the best of it and we were grateful. But the decor is drab, the room was uncomfortable and the bathroom was designed to be hard to clean and so it was grotty. It was expensive for what we got.

The hotel is a bit basic but comfortable, you can see they are slowly refurbing the hotel bit by bit. It’s a shame the swimming pool isn’t up and running. I’m it’s hay day it must of been lovely. A great location, the room was clean, the four poster bed was lovely, and the bathroom was fantastic. Needs a lick of paint in places and some new carpets. Both breakfast and dinner was good. The location is the best thing with fantastic walks which our dog loved!!!

The hotel was very clean and it was a comfortable stay. I could see there was signs of renovations but the main areas and corridors are in desperate need of attention and brings the overall feel of this hotel down. It is somewhere I would book again with the hopes that this is part of a long term vision for the hotel, to be completely renovated. The food was amazing (one of our best meals at a hotel) and staff friendly. Overall the good out weighed the bad 😁

Very disappointed in my stay versus the photo that appeared on **********. My room was nothing like the photo and the carpet was dirty and stained, the walls scuffed, the furniture was rough cheap chipboard and it didn’t feel clean. Expected a lot more of the money. Only good things were service at reception and the breakfast.

my visit to this hotel was terrible. The hotel was dirty, our room was dirty, no lamp shade, shower waste pipe nearly blocked with human debris, wash basin waste nearly blocked, curtains could not be pulled shut, carpet in the room was dirty and old. The walkways were dirty with carpets worn out. Trays of food left outside doors for 2 days..

Very helpful staff nothing was too much trouble. Quite location set in pretty surroundings. Certain areas could be updated ie hallways upstairs need redecorating and furniture in room.

Great hotel. Rooms are being updated. The staff is excellent. My car broke down and they tried to help in any way they could.
