The Chesterton is a classy looking hotel particularly the reception, bar and restaurant areas. The staff are very friendly & helpful and our room was nicely decorated and comfortable. The bathroom however was a little tired, the toilet seat was loose and the shower door didn't open smoothly. Apart from that, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. The food (breakfast & dinner)in the restaurant is top notch. Would definitely recommend.

Great independent hotel. Keep going back.
Lovely welcoming place we live going back to. Room has always been tidy and the breakfast has improved since last time, not that you could complain about it before. We will be going again.

The Chesterton Hotel Review
On first arrival the lady on reception was exceptional and check in was very easy. We had asked in advance for a quiet room and was allocated room 9. The room on first sight was lovely and it was clean (there was an iron mark on the carpet just outside the bathroom). On closer inspection the toilet and sink had a few chips. The bed looked lovely and comfortable but it was two twin beds pushed together and when sleeping you tip into the middle where the beds join. The room did appear a "quiet room" but until 1am there was a lot of noise from above which then started again at 7.30am - we did feed this back to reception in the morning but that lady appeared very disinterested. Breakfast staff were lovely. One of the breakfasts was a full english with poached eggs. The two eggs were over cooked so not runny and the bacon was over cooked or left on a heater as it was unedible. Hotel is located in a lovely village and ideal for a trip to Bicester Shopping Village - not sure if we would choose to stay here again.

Delightful hotel in the rural area of Bicester. We were pleasantly greeted and the room was exceptionally clean and modern. Lovey power shower and a comfortable bed with in-room amenities including a safe and a capsule coffee machine. The room itself overlooked a beautiful garden and lawn area. Dining options looked nice with options for non-veg and vegetarians. Bicester shopping village and the village centre is only 5 minutes away by car and, similarly, links to the M40 motorway. All in all a great stay with tremendous customer care.
