My husband and I booked here as we were attending a family wedding at Hillbark. It is very expensive but we felt it offered great value for money. The wedding was perfect, I really cannot fault Hillbark on any aspect, I'm just glad I wasn't footing the bill! Our room was amazing! Very olde worlde feel but with all the... more

Just returned today from Hillbark Hotel, after the wedding of my daughter yesterday. It was just fantastic, the serivce the staff, the management provided could not have been better. They could not do enough to make this, a special day for the newlyweds. They provided a choice of 2 starters, 2 main courses (chicken & Fillet Steak) and 2 deserts... more

As a family of 6 we travelled from Spain to stay at the Hillbark for a family wedding. We booked a "family" room as we are a family of 2 adults and 4 children. The hotel itself is amazing and the staff were all very nice. The family room was ok, lovely furniture but quite small. There was a previous... more

We stayed here whilst we attended a family funeral, the original hotel we booked had double booked us and so we had to stop at Oxford services and find alternative accomodation. Quite by chance we ended up here, and what a wonderful surprise. Yes it is expensive, however, it is absolutely value for money. I travel a lot for business... more

This is a very long review; you may want to skip to my summary at the bottom. Following the 'mixed' reviews on this site, I decided to go and take a look at this hotel for myself, before I booked a room. I wondered how so many people could have such hugely differing experiences of the same place. Upon my... more

Lovely Jacobean manor house in secluded setting. We ate in the Yellow room, and the meal was gourmet standard, absolutely excellent. £55 per head for four courses plus appetisers, we though was good value for the standard. Only disapointement was the rooms; we had booked a junior suite, which turned out to be a large room with an en suite... more

This hotel charges an awful lot for what it delivers. It is actually a rather small hotel in terms of the number of rooms and obviously focuses its effort upon weddings and events. The bridal suite is very impressive, but you don't want the hotel staff banging on your door at night because it turns out that there is a... more

Found the place to be excellent, we had a meal in the Grill Room - the 'canteen' from the previous review and thought it was lovely, didnt feel at all uncomfortable or like we had gone back to school! Meals were a little on the expensive side but certainly not excessive, and in a way you're paying for the atmosphere... more

Looking forward to a lovely romantic night in what looked like a splenidid hotel. There was no one on reception to greet us, not a great start. Dinner was very poor and over priced, the atmosphere was terrible in the dinning room, a very odd table layout meant you felt like you sitting in rows in a canteen. Dinner was... more
