Malmaisons a great hotel mate, been there with the missus before, stayed in 'the guvnors' suite or whatever it's called but I was a bit peeved as I wanted to stay in the cells bit!

Oxfords all about the river, punting or boating, it's all good, there's not tonnes of 'doing' stuff in oxford but its just a nice place to be. Have a walk around, chill at the meadows, some cool shops an loads of awesome buildings to look at.

If you do get bored you can play 'find the English person' it's very f**king difficult!

We had a company Christmas party there a few years ago and it was excellent, the food epic, the service superb !

There are the touristy things you can do:

Blenheim Palace is a favourite and is where a "few" shows have been recorded:

The crazy bear hotel just out of Oxford is also pretty funky, they used to have glass cisterns above the toilets with gold fish in, when you flushed you'd expect the fish to also get flush but they didn't. They had to replace the fish every few days ...
We had our last Christmas party here and it was fantastic! The burlesque show was ACE  :evil: and had the Fun Loving Criminals playing live during dinner, then DJ'ing after dinner.

If you change dates to late June, they've got a Garden party on and it will be fandabidosi!

There's plenty to do in Oxfordshire! You just need to have a look around!  :wink:

Full of toffee nosed students, and the shopping is sh1t compared with ruff'n'ready Reading.

In the 9yrs I have lived nr Oxford I have been there only a handful of times.
