Tripadvisor also lists guesthouses and farm bed and breakfasts around Bicester, such as Hill View Farm, Manor Farm Bed and Breakfast in Poundon, and Watts Lodge. We did not confirm these with a second source, so treat them as leads and call before you plan around them.

Places From the Old Guide We Could Not Verify
The earlier version of this page listed The Randolph Hotel, The Old Post Office Bicester, and The Bicester Townhouse. We could not find these in Bicester listings. The Randolph Hotel we know of is in Oxford, not Bicester. We removed all three. If you hold a booking at any of them, contact the property directly to confirm the location.
What We Checked and What We Could Not
We matched each hotel against at least two sources, including official hotel pages, IHG, VisitSoutheastEngland, Wikivoyage, the Oxfordshire County Council directory, and Tripadvisor. We could not confirm current rates, so we quote none. We could not confirm Travelodge addresses or times. We found no check-in times for Littlebury, The Chesterton Hotel, or Bicester Hotel Golf and Spa. Phone numbers differ between sources for two hotels. Confirm each detail by phone before you travel.
