"3rd time here over the last 1.5 years. Probably one of the only hotels in Olney itself. Whilst amenities were fairly adequate, room was dusty (cobwebs on ceilings, tea tray/kettle covered with dust)."

"I enjoyed my stay! The breakfast was excellent!! Only reason why I gave a 4 star was because on several occasions when Room service cleaned the rooms they won’t change the beddings and sheets had to call several times to get them to change it. But I will definitely be booking again."
