I always stay at the Lambert Arms when I am working in the area. It has a brilliant location, the rooms are great and the breakfast is really good.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your continued loyalty and kind review. We're delighted you enjoy our location, rooms, and breakfast, and we truly appreciate your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit. Kind regards, Admiral Abbey

Good Room Good Service Good Food All Good

Dear Sally, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your room, our service, and the food. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, Admiral Abbey

Morley D. Solo - 7/25/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Good venue and well maintained. Good food from the restaurant. Only issue was stopping in the heatwave in one of the traditional rooms, which didn't have aircon (unlike the garden rooms, which might lack some of the character, but do have aircon)

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our venue and the food in our restaurant. We appreciate your feedback regarding the lack of air conditioning in our traditional rooms during the heatwave and understand how this affected your comfort. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Admiral Abbey

On arrival the receptionist took an age to process my card: he also did not seem to know whether our room had been prepaid. He said yes, but on check out the next morning it transpired it was not. Our room was stuffy and had clearly not been aired for some time. My wife had to leave VERY early next morning and found the shower drain not to be functional at all, so I couldn’t take a shower because the bath was full (I waited till I got home). Also the table/desk lamp did not work. And there was no complimentary water in the room at all. In short this stay was not worthy of a four star hotel rating. A pity, since this stop is a very convenient one close to London and to Garsington. A little more effort and care could make this a good place to stop

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We apologise for the delays and confusion during check-in, as well as the issues you experienced with the shower drain and room comfort. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams so these areas can be reviewed. Regarding the desk lamp, we have checked this and can confirm it is working, although we appreciate that the switch can be a little tricky to operate and will look at how we can make this clearer for guests. In line with our sustainability initiatives, we do not provide complimentary bottled water in rooms as standard. However, we are always happy to provide water upon request. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a stay that better reflects the standards we aim to deliver. Kind regards, Admiral Abbey

Dear Guest, Thank you for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear you had a great stay and that our staff made such a positive impression during breakfast. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Admiral Abbey
