“Lovely property near Oxford”
The Hawkwell House is a simply elegant small hotel with an excellent restaurant. The residential hills where the hotel is located are green and quiet and it is just a few minutes walk to the very convenient bus to Oxford city center. Once on the bus you will be in city center in a few minutes. The staff at Hawkwell house were thoughtfully helpful and international. We had two rooms one in the main house and one in the nearby cottage and both were excellently appointed.
“Staying here again!”
We loved this charming hotel set in a cozy area. The room was large and fashionable and the bath was large and newly remodeled. We had the English breakfast plan and the service and quaility of food was great. We enjoyed the bar and lounge each evening. Warm fire each night was welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel and we are picky American travelers!
“An excellent place to stay”
The Hawkwell House is just outside of Oxford. A short bus ride from High Street or about a 15-20 minute walk. If you like walking, ask at the desk clerk about walking into Oxford along the river, it's not to be missed. The food in the restaurant was excellent, although dinner is served much later than most Americans are used to. This is an old hotel, and the floors creak a bit, but the rooms were very comfortable and modern. I would definitely recommended this hotel to others.
“Very comfortable hotel near Oxford”
Lovely hotel which has been recently updated. Large comfortable room with modern bathroom. Wonderful breakfast. Only setback was needing to take a taxi to town. Would definately recommend this hotel.
“One or two slip-ups, but we'd stay there again.”
Overall we liked the place, but had two things go a bit wrong: for one, the TV did not work (was not hooked up to satellite and did not get reception over the air). For another, the room was not ready at the check-in time of 2 pm, even though the hotel clerk knew we had arrived at 10 am. At the least, I think the room should've been ready by 2, if not sooner. It was ready by about ten after 2, and only then with a mad rush by the housekeepers to do so, with us waiting down the stairs with our luggage. Other than that, we liked the place quite a bit and had no other complaints. In fact, we would probably stay there again, and assume that the above problems would either be fixed, or not occur, again. The locals is great, with Oxford easily accessible by bus ($10 for a 24 hr family pass). The breakfast was very good, and i'm told the restaurant is good as well (though we ended up eating elsewhere). I wish it had air conditioning, but that's a common absence in Euro hotels. In its favor was a terrific comforter! Loved it, wished all places had one like it. One last thing: the main window had only a thick curtain, no additional "sheer" curtain that would've let in the breeze but given some privacy. We therefore had to choose between breeze and privacy, especially at night. We chose breeze. Anyway, it's still a nice little place and we would, indeed, likely stay there again.
“Oxford's Finest”
Hawkwell House Hotel was a wonderful experience. Their staff spent time answering all of our questions and I never felt ignored. The hotel was very well maintained and they were very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.
“adequate”
Overall satisfied with hotel. Located just outside Oxford city central need a car or take bus down the corner if visiting a student at school. The shower in our room was barely usable ( spray was like a car wash) and a flimsy cot was set up for our third person in the room (because as we were told the pull out was broken). After an uncomfortable first night we were moved into a new room with a good shower and pull out. Moral of the story speak up. Breakfast included definitely a bonus and I found the people at the hotel very pleasant.
