Central home Kidlington

Rooms close to each other… hearing noise from the other room

The property was absolutely spotless. Double beds very comfortable. Off road parking on the drive . Clear communication and prompt responses to enquiries. Close to a supermarket, pubs, takeaways. Very convenient for frequent buses into Oxford (Fare only £2 each trip!) . This was a perfect place to stay for a work event in nearby Bicester, then a day trip into Oxford. We found a nearby Sainsburys, pub (and quiz!) and a takeaway all very close by. Easy to find and would stay here again.

This was a suburban house with 4 available bedrooms so the bathroom was shared with other rooms, but I did not find this a problem and it was very good value for an overnight stay in this area. It is very basic but I believe very new to the market and the site, so I'm guessing more finishing touches will follow. A kettle and basic tea/coffee would be a nice touch. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, and lounge, but it was unclear if this was for guests or not and there were no provisions eg. milk. I had brought some wine, but could find no corkscrew :(

Very convenient location for bus into central Oxford and also getting to Blenheim palace for an event. On a main road but it was not noisy with the window closed. Parking was very useful.

Just to be aware that the other bedrooms are also hired out as separate bookings to other guests. This was not a problem for us but could be if you get a noisy guest. The bedroom is lockable.

Location was good to get to Blenheim palace. Bed was comfortable. Communication was good. Self check-in.

On the surface the place is clean. But I found old mould marks on pillowcase and dirty all round windows. The place is tired looking and dated. I had expected an en-suite. It’s not clear/ambiguously written in description that the bathroom is shared. There was someone else towels draped over the shower. It’s set out like an HMO. There’s a kitchen with kettle. But no complimentary coffee or tea. For the price it would have been nicer to have these facilities in the room. It was also very noisy. I could hear the guest downstairs on phone and the tv and all the doors opening and closing. The windows are old and could hear all traffic. There was also no smoke alarm in the bedroom. From the main photo I had expected this was an annexe in a converted, self contained garage. I also felt quite uncomfortable that I was alone in a house with someone I didnt know. Especially with no en-suite. I think the description needs to be more honest and open about the set-up.
