The Kings Arms Hotel - A 17th-century coach house with traditional features, modern comforts, and proximity to Bicester Village

Set in a semi-rural location, The Kings Arms Hotel occupies a refurbished 17th-century coach house blending historic charm with contemporary amenities. Wood-panelled walls, Victorian-style toilets with pull chains, and plush carpeting characterize the 20 guest rooms, which include USB sockets, iPod docks, and coffee machines. Private bathrooms feature black and white wall tiles, complimentary toiletries, and bathtubs or showers. Guests at The Kings Arms Hotel can dine in the onsite British cuisine restaurant, which serves brunch and happy hour specials, including vegetarian options like roasted butternut squash and spinach wellington. The popular bar hosts live music and entertainment, while additional amenities include a daily free manager's reception, 24-hour room service, and a coffee shop. Located near Market Square, Bicester Village shopping outlets are 1.6 km away, and Bicester North rail station is a 15-minute walk. Free Wi-Fi, self-parking, and dry cleaning services are available.

Pros

The 17th-century building retains traditional features such as wood-panelled walls and Victorian-style toilets.

Free parking and Wi-Fi are provided, along with daily complimentary manager's receptions.

The onsite restaurant serves British cuisine, including vegetarian dishes.

Proximity to Bicester Village shopping outlets (1.6 km away) and Bicester North station (15-minute walk).

Cons

Some rooms measure 14 m², which may feel compact.

No spa or fitness facilities are available on-site.

“What stands out is the location; it's right where you want to be for both the town and Bicester Village. The rooms are generously sized, the staff goes above and beyond, and the bar mixes a mean cocktail at a price that encourages a second round. I think it delivers real value.”
