Comfortable and convenient location

The location was great for bus links into town . The breakfast was very good with great selection of fresh fruit and excellent service, very friendly people, felt homely and traditional.

The decor was in need of refurbishing. The blind didn’t cover whole window in bathroom and the shower pressure weak but despite the beds being old was still a comfortable nights sleep .

6.0 / 10.0

Location was very good a 10 minute bus ride we walked back which took 30 mins . The breakfast was good we was offered b

Outside of the property looked nice and stairway the dining area was also nice . The bedroom that we was allocated let the stay down . The location was spot on a 30 minute walk or a 10 minute bus ride into Oxford

The bedroom was a bad standard it’s such a shame as the property itself from the outside gives it a good reference

7.0 / 10.0

Great value but obviously it had flaws

Great price! Friendly folk! Parking. The breakfast was a bonus: toast, cereal, fruit, tea/coffee☕ Fridge in room! Excellent.

No front desk - it was more akin to 8 or so independent flats. Each room had a room key + front door key. Not *run down* or *shabby* but definitely needs freshening up The main difficulty of a hotel such as this is the high standard of mattresses in the *chains* like Travelodge and Premier - the mattress wasn't awful but not a patch on those.

6.0 / 10.0

Nice place to stay one night. About 3km from city center.

The staff was nice, and the house fine. Perhaps the bathroom was the only thing to improve.

The handle of the door was broken, and perhaps breakfast a little limited.

Awful stay, very unclean and extremely rude staff. Unwelcoming and reviews are very misleading..

Location near to the centre. Parking when able to get on the drive. Big rooms and bathroom.

Room - very dated. Very unclean on arrival. Hairs in the sink, cracked tiles, cracks in the ceiling, broken sharp robe hooks, stains on the carpet/chairs, room/toilet smelt like the sewers, open/half eaten biscuits on the coffee tray in the room, was itching all night in bed, view from our window was a run down shed/slimey dirty roof, no one to greet us, keys left under a mat, single bed was squeaking all night when moving and leaves/ dirt under the beds. Room felt that unclean I couldn't brush my teeth or wash. Breakfast- Served far too early for a Saturday for us. Fruit buffet looked nice but covered in fruit flies. Yogurts were warm. Selection of cereals and fruit juices (never tried). Milk on the table was in a measuring jug. Offered tea and coffee, both served in pots. Coffee was cheap instant coffee with water added to it and extremely weak. We were then TOLD Breakfast is toast or toast and boiled eggs that's it. No cooked breakfast, no alternative hot option. We received 4 rounds of toast between 3 of us. My partner and daughter had eggs that came boiling hot which burnt my daughtes hand. The eggs were not hard or soft and were actuallyleft. (I don't eat eggs). Staff - Received a call on the day of check in to ask if one bed can be had out of the room I booked and paid for. The gentleman sermed polite on the phone. Seen no staff on the day of arrival until breakfast time the next day. I have never ever met a host so abrupt and unfriendly. Me and my daughter walked downstairs to be told "breakfast in there". No good morning or anything. The lady then said "Room 5 is it, that table or that one. Do you want tea of coffee, breakfast is boiled eggs and toast, do you want brown or white bread". My partner asked the lady for some cold water so he could dip the egg in to peel it. Her reaction was nothing more than rude.

A pleasant stay.

The host was very friendly and welcoming. The welcome letter was an especially nice touch. The room was comfortable and cosy with towels, tv, toiletries, fridge and tea/ coffee & biscuits available.

The break fast available consisted of fruit, fruit juice, cereal, toast and boiled eggs so could have been better but given the small size of the establishment it was nice to have something included in the price to start the day with.

4.0 / 10.0

Its cheap for a reason

Easy to locate, not too far from the town centre, good size room and bathroom. Have only seen staff in the morning, everyone was friendly and nice.

Booked for a family of 4; the room had a queen and a single beds only. Have tried to contact the numbers provided to request for an extra bed, my messages were ignored. The place was clean, however very dated; missing blinds in the bathroom, mould on the ceiling, the sockets not working- with the exception of one. I was misled my the amazing reviews- i honestly do not understand where they are coming from.

6.0 / 10.0

Could be perfect if the negative points are addressed.

Friendly staff and a warm house. Mini fridge in room was a nice additional feature. Healthy breakfast. Early check-in is helpful. The price was very competitive for Oxford. Parking available.

Bed was very old and creaked. There were spindly spiders on the ceiling suggesting the room hadn’t been properly cleaned or dusted. Window was broken and wouldn’t fully close. It wasn’t a cold night but it would have been a problem if it was. Decor - stained carpets and marks on walls. Guests seem to share the same keys so room security is questionable.

Affordable and central

Location is very good. Frequent bus to central Oxford beside accommodation.

Although breakfast is lovely, there is very little choice especially with hot food, only boiled eggs and toasted available. Rooms are clean but very tired looking. The whole place needs an update.

Good location but a bit jaded

Sue was lovely (a credit to the place!) Ideal location for where we needed to be

The place seemed a little dated and jaded. Seemed really attractive to spiders ie loads of cobwebs. When I reported it the spiders were evicted but the cobwebs remained. Small under the counter fridge fell off the shelf when the door was opened and the front of the shower dial fell off too. When I reported both it seemed they were already aware but we're doing nothing about it. Limited breakfast (particularly for what we paid) continental ± boiled eggs and toast but plenty of cereal, fruit and yoghurt.

Quiet, convenient location near a bus stop with lovely continental breakfast

It was great that they provided breakfast. Location was quiet and convenient. It was great that we could check in early and drop our bags off.

Toilet was a bit confusing to flush.

Just what we needed for a bed for a couple of nights and basic but adequate breakfast available

Owner was very friendly and the lady managing the breakfast was great too, remembering the drinks we liked for the second morning we were there, which was a nice touch

Property was a little dated but certainly value for money on the accommodation and location

Nice pleasant stay, not so good breakfast

Helpful and friendly manager, quaint decor and good location, spacious tidy room.

Dip in the floor that made me fall over Breakfast not what you'd expect from a 4 star. Was told on email after booking that it was continental only but boiled eggs and beans available. Asked for beans but was given a curt "no" as though I were daft asking so didn't push it. Continental breakfast was juice, fresh fruit, yoghurts and basic selection of cereals. Fruit was nice but wasn't very filling for a big day ahead and would expect cooked options and have had so in lower star places.

It was a typical b&b which we love, very quaint

A small gripe. The room was so hot when trying to sleep. I had a wet towel over my legs to try and cool down. There should have been a fan provided. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Staff very nice
