The hype

Mollie's Motel & Diner Oxfordshire
$90-150 / öö
Broneeri, kui You want the cool factor of Soho House without the membership fee or the mortgage-payment price tag.
Miks inimesed seda armastävad
- Soho House design DNA at a fraction of the cost
- Dyson hairdryers and GHD straighteners in every room
- Soundproofing that actually silences the A420 highway
Kiire kokkuvõte: It’s a glorified roadside motel next to a BP gas station, but it’s the chicest, most comfortable roadside motel you’ll ever stay in.
Vaadanud @Laurahtrav: I honestly couldn't believe this was a roadside motel. Finding a Dyson hairdryer and full-sized Cowshed toiletries in my room was such a luxe surprise. The diner food was exactly what I needed—huge portions and super tasty. Definitely my new favorite pitstop.

- You appreciate high-end toiletries (Cowshed) and tech (Dyson/GHD)
- You are driving through the Cotswolds and need a stylish pitstop
- You love American diner food like waffles and shakes

5 asja, mida peaksid teadma enne reisimist
💡The sink is in the bedroom hallway, meaning you brush your teeth while your roommate watches from bed.
💡It is literally next door to a BP gas station—the 'views' are mostly parking lot and petrol pumps.
💡The bacon at breakfast is often thick-cut 'gammon style', which divides opinion (love it or hate it).
💡The corridors have hard floors and amplify sound, so you will hear people walking by.
💡The app keyless entry is cool but can be glitchy; grab a physical key card as a backup.
