My partner and myself loved everything about it. Sean and Gemma were wonderful so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. They are a credit to the hotel. The evening meal was superb and the breakfast was just as nice with plenty of choice. Our room was luxurious, comfortable and clean. We honestly couldn't fault anything about our stay, we found a little gem and would definitely return, also recommend to anyone who is planning on visiting the Cotswolds to stay here. Bampton is a pretty place and an ideal touring base. Thank you to the Fleur de lys and especially to Sean and Gemma for making our stay a special one.

Nothing to dislike

The bar and restaurant area have been expertly decorated to an authentic French bistro. The garden was wonderful, the service from Donna and the team was brilliant and personal, extremely nice team . The evening meal was next level, really really good and very fresh and tasty. The breakfast offer was amazing, help yourself continental breakfast with meats, cheese, fruit, cereals, yogurt and juices to start then a full breakfast menu to choose from for main breakfast , amazing and the breakfast waiter was very nice and extremely helpful.

We liked everything

The food - dinner and breakfast was fantastic. The accommodation - room with bath in bathroom was lovely. The room also had a lovely sitting room for us to use. The bed was really comfortable. We were initially concerned that the room, on the main road, might be noisy at night (single glazed window, presumably a listed property?). It was actually really quiet with no disturbance in sleep. We also heard no noise at all from the bistrot restaurant below. The village was lovely for a short walk. The staff were very helpful and polite.

The music in the restaurant was too loud for us (personal taste as we both have slight hearing issues) but that was quickly remedied by the waiter who turned the volume down. We found the lighting very dark. We had to use the torches on our phones to see the menus. It would also have been nice to be able to see what we were eating! There was one minor issue with the bathroom but the staff said we'd receive some feedback at some time. None of this would stop us from staying again though. The comments are not meant as criticism, simply for consideration for future guests. It was an excellent stay in an excellent location and fully deserves an exceptional score.

A wonderful experience! Fleur de Lys is set apart from any other place we've stayed. Recently refurbished to exceptional standards it's sited in a wonderful location close to Oxford but central to the Cotwolds. . The rooms we're of exceedingly high quality with decor, fixtures and fittings chosen and installed with great taste and workmanship. But the pièce de resistance was the Bistro....a wonderful (all too rare) dining experience. A beautifully balanced menu that from produce, prep to plate is a real joy. Even if you don't stay (and I recommend you do) visit the Bistro...we loved every morsel from Baked Cod to die for.... Cassoulet to shoot your mother for...and Beef Bourguignon...well choose this dish for the day the world ends...it will make it bearable I promise. But let's make clear why Fleur De Lys works....it's people. Ellie (manager), Sean, Reef (front of house) and chef Nathan...work their proverbials off to make your stay special. Will be back...

The stay had to end. Honest...if I could afford it...I'd live here.

Fantastic stay at a beautiful property in a gorgeous village. The twin room was spacious and spotlessly clean, the fixtures and fittings were of a very high standard. The bed was so comfy with plenty of pillows and a lovely throw for the colder nights. The hotel states no parking on the details but over the 3 nights we were there we never had any problems parking just outside the hotel on the main streets, always within view of our window. We will definitely be staying here every time we visit family

There is nothing I didn’t like!

Sadly I never got to try the breakfast as I left the hotel too early every morning, but the food in the evenings was exceptional and great value. The staff were particularly amazing, as a solo traveller they made me feel very welcome. The village of Bampton is a lovely location too, shops nearby and close to where I needed to be.

If I was to be really critical, i would say I wish there was some proper parking. It was sometimes a bit of a game trying to find where to park at the end of a day. But it seems no one minds where you park in the street anyway ! As long as it is legal !

Stunning restoration of this wonderful old building. Everything like new again but retaining character. Gorgeous fresh food from limited menu. Easy parking in the road outside. Absolutely wonderful cosy superior bedroom. Excellent breakfast included in the price. Staff were very welcoming. Good value accommodation mid week.

Wine was pricey. The lunchtime : "value" menu continued as a cheaper option into the evening during the week but was the same choice three evenings running . Steak was excellent tho as was the wonderful French onion soup.

Everything about our stay was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, our room was comfortable and absolutely spotless! Breakfast was delicious and filling (the croissants are massive and delicious!). We had dinner in the bistro one night, the food was beautifully cooked, and the wine recommendations were lovely and complimented our food really well. The staff were very attentive yet not 'in your face', happy to chat when we wanted to and made us feel very at home. We had a really lovely time :-)

Nothing!

This place is a little gem. Booked last minute as decided to stay over after a concert at Blenheim Palace. Fleur De Lys is in great location - really picture postcard. The room was beautifully and tastefully decorated to a high standard with great attention to detail We overlooked the garden which even has a Boules court..!! We had lunch in the restaurant downstairs. Supurb, delicious - great presentation and highly recommend the soul meuniere and tarte tatin. Breakfast was great - - lovely hot croissants. Looking forward to our next stay. .

Beautiful place to stay, with every detail thought of. Really comfortable beds with high quality bedding. Although above the restaurant, not noisy at all. Warm and cosy and the breakfast was amazing. Parking was easy as well, although not allocated we had no issues parking at all. Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting 😊

Nothing bad to say
