Short break with friends for a visit to Christmas at Blenheim Palace for which the hotel was well suited. Large well appointed double room with en suite facilities and good wifi. The rooms are separated from the pub so we’re nice and quiet. Food was very good but a bit on the pricy side. Good selection of drinks. Breakfast was excellent. View all feedback.
What dewmaw doesn't like about Bird In Hand:
We had visited the BinH under previous ownership but only to eat. It was OK. When we needed accommodation near Witney we visited again. The place has been transformed. Our room was better than many hotels. Well appointed. Warm. Plenty of hot water. Service in the pub/restaurant was first rate. The food was good. Breakfast was excellent. They were very accommodating when we needed a space for a family meeting. Good lo... View all feedback.
15 of us ate here following a family funeral nearby. The venue could not have been more accommodating despite the short notice (and the fact that they were also running a function at the same time). The welcome was warm, the service great and the food tasty and nicely presented as well as being reasonably priced. There was ample parking and pleasant facilities. All in all, a great place that I highly recommend.
Having completed eleven luxury sea cruises over the years, experiencing fine dining, I feel my wife and I are qualified to pass judgement on the quality of food and service at eating establishments. As such we feel that this is by far the best eating out place in the Witney area. To celebrate our daughter’s 50th birthday ten of our family members dined here on. Saturday evening. We were allocated a delightful cosy room on our own, which was perfect for our requirements. Despite the restaurant being very busy we received a warm and friendly reception. The meals, both starters and main courses were superb and faultless. The service was extremely efficient and friendly. Although we are what one might term fairly large eaters, none of us could manage the pudding course!, all feeling completely satisfied without that dreadful over stuffed feeling. The staff catered to our very need, brining in a cake which we had supplied ourselves, with lit candles, and leading the singing of Happy Birthday. Unusually, there was no Service Charge for a largish group, but I was more than willing to show my appreciation for a perfect evening with a generous gratuity they simply deserved it, and many thanks to all of the staff for making our daughter’s special evening memorable. We will be back!
One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious food at the restaurant. We ended up dining there for all three nights, a rarity for us. The Sea Bass with a tasty sauce and dauphine potatoes was a standout dish, as was the Venison Cottage Pie. My wife enjoyed the Goats Cheese dish and the Chicken Salad, which was so generous in portion size that she couldn't finish it. The starters and desserts were equally impressive. We highly recommend this place to stay, but be sure to make a dinner reservation as the locals also appreciate the quality of the food. The breakfast served each morning was also of a high standard, with the Full English breakfast being a particular favorite. We would definitely consider revisiting the Bird in Hand in the future.
Stayed here for the night after the Cheltenham Gold Cup, What a find. Charming people, fantastic super clean rooms. The best steak and chips I've had for a long time, a wonderful country pub feel, and a first class full English. Will be back.
We had a lovely 2 night stay. Very relaxing and the bedrooms were so cosy and comfortable. We had both evening meals in the restaurant and we were not disappointed. Food arrived hot and well presented. Top praise for the staff.
