We stayed here as an extra night after staying nearby the day before. We arrived a couple of hours early, and asked if we could leave car and go into Oxford, and were pleasantly surprised to be told the room would be ready in a few minutes. Decor a little tired, but clean. Good breakfast. Location very good for price,... More

Fantastic breakfast cooked to order (even catered for our awkward requests) plenty of choice, including pastries, fresh fruit and tasty fruit salad. Location is what we expected. We were in the front room, Yeah you... More

We were staying in Oxford for a few days of sightseeing and relaxing and this guest house you was absolutely perfect for us. Only a short drive from the main roads into Oxford, it is right next to a bus stop with regular routes into Oxford, as well as being ideal for Bicester village and the countryside. The welcome from... More

I'm a bit ambivalent regarding writing this review: On the one hand, the owner is very nice and helpful. Breakfast is traditional british (more than enough). The bed was really comfortable. free wifi that works well. there are several bars and supermarkets nearby (2 bus stops). great price compared to other options in Oxford BUT: -most importantly: the b&b is...

Stayed here for 1 night, on route to Heathrow Airport. We had a double room with off road parking which is always a bonus. The room was adequate for our needs with a small ensuite. The sink in the bathroom was tiny and it was difficult to fill the kettle without spillage. Not a powerful shower, but everything was clean... More

We had a warm welcome from Marilynn and she answered every question we had. The room and bathroom are simple, but clean. Sink is a bit small, but it's doable. It was very handy to have a fridge in the room, haven't seen that much on our trip through England! Beds were not that good: you could feel the springs... More

We (my wife and me) haven't been in other Guest Houses in Oxford. But comparing to other B&Bs we had in our past travels to Europe in the last years - this is the best!! In short: Highly recommended! True, it is not in the city centre, but there is a bus stop to the centre few meters away and... More
