Rooms & Rates
Overview
The Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel is an 18th-century former coaching inn in the village of Aston Rowant near the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Oxford, Blenheim Palace (Sir Winston Churchill's birthplace), Waddesdon Manor and The Roald Dahl Museum are all within 40 minutes' drive of the hotel. Other local highlights include Vale Brewery and the market town of Thame, which is around 10 minutes' drive from The Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel. Silverstone, the home of the British grand prix, is a 40-minute drive away and Bletchley Park, the headquarters of the British codebreakers during World War II, is less than an hour away.
The hotel features wooden floors, leather armchairs and decorative rugs. The AA-Rosette awarded Kite Restaurant serves British food, and snacks and afternoon tea are available from the bar.
The Double Inn Rooms are in the main building, and all rooms have free Wi-Fi.
Travelzoo tip: Rather than driving into Oxford and paying city parking fees, catch the Oxford Tube bus from Lewknor, which is a 15-minute walk from The Lambert Hotel.

Although a large bedroom/bed disappointed that the Wi-Fi wasn't working, there was a large tear in the duvet cover, toilet seat was broken and bathroon was grubby. Also evening meal was overcooked and not as stated on menu and service very slow. Breakfast also overcooked.

Some confusion at checking out. Break was pre-paid but despite it being on system at check in time when it came to checking out the reception could not find it on their system which caused some delay and no little annoyance and was somewhat embarrassing with other customers present. Had to ask for manager to be called. He was able to find the record of the payment but was not over-apologetic. I assume the re-branding to "Mercure" will be cited as the reason.

We did not have opportunity to use vouchers for evening meal which£50? was included in the deal. After arriving at hotel, we went into oxford, which was the idea of the break. After travelling and sight seeing, we did not have time to get back for neal. First time we have been disappointed in one of your deals.
