Breakfast was really comprehensive and catered to every imaginable taste! Spoiled for choice. The food was delicious at every meal. But what stood out for us, after the beautifully tended grounds and the delightful location set in the woods, was the spectacular staff!! Each and every person with whom we came into contact was courteous, obliging and so very attentive and willing to do everything to make our stay as happy and comfortable as possible, that we felt like royalty! Abundant thanks and blessings on you all. We shall definitely come back to this gem of a hotel.

Maybe the taps governing the shower and bath could be looser? It was extremely difficult to turn them.

Perfect for a romantic weekend getaway near London and easy to get to via train and a 5 min taxi drive, Uber is also available A cosy hideaway, very quiet and peaceful, perfect for couples. The grounds are beautiful and invite for walks. The whole atmosphere in the hotel is very relaxing and staff super friendly. We received a room upgrade on arrival which made our stay perfect - the beds are very comfy and the room was very clean. Very delicious breakfast and dinner options! The pool area was also super calm, relaxing vibes with nice pool service!

The only thing which was disappointing was that we wanted to sit outside for our dinner (like the day before at the Grill) because it was lovely weather. Unfortunately, they couldn’t accommodate it logistically which we didn’t expect from a 5* hotel in summer.

Beautiful grounds

You should state the pool restrictions- I clearly booked for me and a child- we got limited pool use - I only booked this for me to be able to spend form time with my daughter in the pool in the lovely hit weather- if you had stated your pool restrictions I would not have booked - very misleading and when spoke to member of staff about it- they blamed booking.com day guest where also prioritised- all in all not worth it only got 1 hour in the pool 9am 10am disappointed! If that’s the case please mention it on booking as it’s so misleading. I have never complained on booking.com but I will about this and I’m a regular bookings customer ..with at least 7 more bookings this coming year.

Very friendly helpful staff. Food was excellent. We dined at the Tudor Pass. Fabulous food. Lovely to meet the chefs. I'm sure we will return. Enjoyed walking round the gardens. Will be even better later in the year. Comfortable bed. Shame it's so close to M25 but our room faced the other way so not a problem.

We were unfortunate to have a crowd of unruly guests on our corridor who returned at 2.30 am knocking on doors - including ours! and running up and down the corridor. They even tried to get in the room which was quite disturbing. We then struggled to get back to sleep only to be woken with the same behaviour at 8am when we'd hoped to lie in. Unbelievably inconsiderate behaviour. I did tell reception on checking out. Not much hotel could have done except perhaps reminding late arriving guests to be considerate of others. It spoiled what would otherwise have been a perfect Valentine's evening.

Our room was perfectly clean and comfortable. Check in was very welcoming, dinner was fantastic. The staff is all very professional and helpful to ensure a great stay. The grounds were impressive and impeccable. We left feeling super relaxed and enjoyed the quick escape from London to a calm environment.

The pool was too warm. It was more like a jacuzzi and could have been a little bit cleaner. These are minor and we would absolutely return.

The Great Fosters is without doubt one of the best hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The hotel and grounds are superb. Super close to Heathrow Airport. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel special. The reception staff were super welcoming and attentive. I love to take my friends and family. Every time I visit the UK I need my time at the Great Fosters, really feels like home to me!

The house is incredible with so much beautifully preserved And carefully updated. The breakfast was very good. Pool was lovely. Service friendly and attentive. We were offered a room upgrade which was very special.

Pool was a little overheated. Sad we couldn't get a table in the Michelin restaurant as it's so so small. Location is great though the motorway noise is always present.

I stayed there for one night following a flight cancellation

The staff, location, and facility were just excellent. A lovely and historical structure, beautiful grounds. Restaurant was exceptional.

Be aware: The oldest building (Tudor or Elizabethan, depending on who's talking) has no a/c. If you are coming in hot weather, insist on either a room in an annex or on the middle floor (suites). Do NOT take an upstairs room.

Booking our room we received added VIP to the Apartment at Bicester. Not knowing what this was, it made a perfect start to our mini break. On arrival to the hotel we were greeted with kindness and professionalism of a 5 Star hotel. We went for dining experience too which was superb. We were totally relaxed and rejuvenated

The bar experience was slow in coming round to ask for refills but the staff were friendly
