A perfectly placed hotel for exploring the pretty town of Thame.
From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Aga in particular is a credit to the team. She went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed our two night stay, she even made sure we could watch the Traitors final on the TV in the bar! That’s hospitality at its finest- nothing was too much trouble for her!
Our room was on the ground floor overlooking the garden. It was quiet with a large comfortable bed, ambient lighting and had all we needed for our visit including complimentary toiletries and a well stocked tea tray. The room came complete with safe and a fridge. My only criticism would be that the bathroom is a little dated and could do with a bit of TLC. Please take slippers with you as you’ll need them- the bathroom floor is tiled and very cold underfoot and there is also no heating or heated towel rail which didn’t make for a pleasant bathing experience although the hot water was plentiful.

I have to say, the food served in the restaurant is absolutely outstanding! We were a party of four and ate in the restaurant both nights, and although the meals were a tad expensive they really were worth the money. The drinks were reasonably priced though which was a surprise considering there isn’t a lot of competition in the area.
We all had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate in returning. A big thank you to everyone at The Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel!

It’s a short 15-minute drive to Thame, where there are excellent bus services to Aylesbury and Oxford. The Oxford Tube Bus to and from London stops just 2 km away at the M40 Junction 6.

Evening staff were very surly. We were in the bar when a lady on the next table asked for some more gravy on her meal and was told she would have to pay extra for it. I asked the barman how far it was into Thame and was advised it was about 30 - 40 minutes drive.
In the morning at breakfast, my wife told a member of staff that there were no teabags left and that the coffee/hot water machine had stopped working. She was rudely told that breakfast stopped 5 minutes ago! This however, was addressed by the staff, as another guest had already complained.

This was an excellent area to be staying in as the Chilterns , Windsor , London and many other places of interest are with 45 minutes to an hour away. The room was spacious and well appointed and breakfasts were plentiful with a good range of choices. Other meals were also available.

Our only suggestion would be to have more than one tea/coffee machine in the breakfast buffet; perhaps on the bar counter as the buffet area was prone to congestion.
