Hotel restaurant in Oxford.

Good food and good company at our restaurant near Oxford. 

Spires Restaurant is made for evenings that don’t need overthinking. The menu changes with the seasons, bringing together traditional favourites and plenty of choice for everything from an easy family dinner to a few unhurried courses. 

For something more casual, the Lounge Bar has a cosy, contemporary feel and its own food menu with a mix of light bites and heartier options. It’s family-friendly too, and you can grab a spot to watch the match at the weekend. 

For a sense of occasion, Afternoon Tea brings the classics - finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and plenty of cakes and sweet treats. There’s a traditional option, or the chance to add Prosecco, Hendrick’s Gin or Champagne. 

Private dining is also available for celebrations and get-togethers that call for a space of their own. 

Joining us for two nights or more? Dine with us a second time and enjoy 10% off a three-course meal, including both food and drinks. Simply keep the bill from your previous meal and present it when you dine with us again.

Tripadvisor Testimonial
Weekend break
Very nice hotel Very good restaurant with very attentive staff. Particular shout out to Sophie who looked after us.
Lovely friendly spa experience.
We had a lovely overnight Spa experience here. We had been very much looking forward to it all and left very happy. All the staff were friendly and kind, the front desk, the spa, Beatrix the masseuse, Harry the waiter. Only two things could have improved it and they have been mentioned in or previous reviews, so maybe worth actually actioning something, and that is: it really is a rabbit warren, please please put some more signs up in the corridors, and the queues for dinner and breakfast and the bar, dinner being served was slow but again was down to lack of staff. Overall though we loved it and will return. Thank you.
Nice Break
A large hotel/spa with plenty car parking. Reception was efficient the reptionists sofya and sal were professional. An upgrade was appreciated as I’d asked for a quiet room . The restaurant was well managed both at breakfast and dinner. Spa was a little tired. Our deal was with travelzoo and was great value .
Lovely spa day
Lovely facilities, fantastic massage from Brenda. Will be back!
Room upgrade well worth it
This is our 3rd visit to this hotel, and it won’t be the last, fantastic location just off the M40. Our dining experience was first class with the staff very attentive. We were offered an upgrade for £30.00 and gave us a complementary bar and a much larger room.
Wonderful
Visited for a spa day and had a wonderful experience for a very reasonable price. Loved the facilities and the lunch was fantastic. My spa treatment from Jo was wonderful and my friend and I left feeling very pampered, thank you so much for!
Amazing
Had a massage by vic today and was just mesmerising and so relaxing would highly recommend
Relaxing & friendly
We booked a lovely spa day & stop over for my birthday & we had a lovely spa each. I had the facial Elemis treatment & had a lovely lady Brenda do my treatment. I’d highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing day & treatment.
Great Hotel!!!

Amazing spa experience
Ti’s massage and facial was so relaxing. My skin feels so refreshed! Ti was very kind and professional as well 💗
It Does What It Says on the Tin!
Our stay at the Oxford Belfry was part of an annual reunion of ex-Government agricultural surveyors and related professionals and, this year, followed an excellent visit to Blenheim Palace, a few miles away. The hotel meet our needs superbly with good food and good service. The room was fine with comfortable beds. The only improvement I would suggest is some more signage around the buildings to guide guests between rooms and communal areas. It is quite a well spread-out complex and finding one's way around was not always straight-forward. A minor point and easily solved.
Best Weekend Ever
We booked a spa weekend for a joint 40th birthday weekend, we were greeted with the most loveliest reception staff, who gave us a nice upgrade to have joining room, turning our weekend in to a great celebration. We then headed to the Spa were unfortunately the central reservations team (not link to the hotel) messed up our booking so we all could not have our treatments together. However even with this inconvenience the Spa Manager Darren did all he could to ensure we had a lovely stay there after by offering us complimentary drinks with our evening meal - even though it was not their fault directly. When we have finished we have vouchers towards the food, however we forgot to declare this at the till and they charged us the split of the whole bill, but as soon as we realised they refunded the monies back to my cousin and we ended up only pay the small excess after our vouchers. After all this hospitality, we checked out and left Oxfordshire, i then realised when i reached home that i have left my shoes behind, i called the reception team and they managed to locate my shoes and also send then to me via tracked royal mail delivery. I highly appreciate everything all the staff did for us all they created the best time for us and we won't forget their hospitality. Thanks again to the whole team, as it was not just one person, everyone from Reception to Spa to Restaurant made our evening unforgettable.
Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel, beautiful rooms and very helpful staff. Would have given 5 stars, however my meal on the Friday evening was Luke warm as had been left standing for awhile . The restaurant was very busy due to the conference I attended. They did give me a discount and apologised .
Aoife
Aoife is a legend, a true keeper, look after her, polite and helpful from start to finish, if we come back, it’s just because of Aoife
Great service from Aoifie
Aoife was amazing !! She and the team were excellent in accommodating our large group as a late booking ! Attentive and professional she is a credit to the hotel
Dinner was good
AOIFE was a great waitress and the food quality was good.

Lovely Hotel very clean & well looked after
Great experience not to far from Oxford or Bicester Outlet village, very well looked after, food was good. Staff very kind and friendly.
Spa and pint
Nice hotel, comfortable bar/ lounge erea. Great spa experience with an excellent deep tissue massage thanks to Brenda. Working in construction and not being wimpy Brenda's expertise shone through and I left feeling relaxed and pain free. Finished of the evening with a tasty burger and a few pints of Hawkstone larger. Well, why the hell not.
Amazing full body massage
I had a full body massage and express facial with Brenda and it was amazing. My lower back was really tight but after it felt so much better. Brenda put heat on lower back and massages and it really helped. Thank you Brenda 😊
