10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is very convenient if you are visiting Bletchley Park - about 7 mins in the car. Our room was a nice size, clean and comfortable with a view of the pitch. The restaurant and bar are both very good though quite expensive. Breakfast was great, though if you are in a room on the other side of the arena it'll take you as long to walk to the breakfast room as it takes to drive to Bletchley Park! There are many of the 'chain style' restaurants just a couple of mins walk away if you prefer those in the evening. I have stayed here twice and would definitely stay again if I am in that area."

  1. Book for the cheapest times: For budget travellers seeking great value for money, visiting Bicester in January, February, or December is a smart choice, as hotel prices may drop during these months, offering affordable stays on a budget. A stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal for exploring the town's rich history and cultural landmarks, including its small town charm, friendly people, spa, castle, bar, relaxing gardens, golf course, and the picturesque countryside, all of which contribute to a uniquely secluded experience.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers enticing hotel deals for Bicester. Begin your search in the DealsOpens in a new window section and then explore the Last-Minute Deals area, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. For added convenience, activate email alerts or push notifications to receive updates on flash sales. Meanwhile, the Smart Shopping tool on the app helps travellers compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see a drop in prices or room availability for a last-minute escape.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and season, so being flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay at a hotel in Bicester. Boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value for those seeking something unique. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it appears to be on the higher side, we might suggest more affordable dates to help you potentially secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to major attractions or city centres can offer convenience, although it usually tends to be more expensive. For more affordable options, consider hotels located in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sights you intend to visit. You might also explore independent hotels situated further afield, which can provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
