“A priceless GEM”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A true delight to stay here - nothing was too much trouble for the owners - Sally and Tony.
They delivered service over and above what was paid for - spotlessly clean rooms and
property - i cannot recommend this house highly enough - thank you and will be seeing you again later in the year.

“Excellent guest house for vistors to Oxford”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2011

Excellent guest house with great service for anyone visiting the Oxford area. Rooms are immaculate and the service at Breakfast is superb. Only downside is a slightly noisy road in the front rooms but more than offset by the plus factors. Sally is extremely helpful in recommending places to eat and how to commute into the city - heartily recommended

Hello, thank you for taking the time to write the review. So glad you enjoyed the bedding and cushions. You were in the only double at the front of the house, all the other double and twin rooms are at the back where your friends had a room. We appreciate the rooms overlooking the garden are quieter, but as you said the local traffic is only during the day and not at night.

“Perfect - just what we were looking for”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2011

Cosy rooms with beautiful bedding (including lots of comfy cushions!) & a good range of TV channels. Lots of little extras (eg: chocolates in our room). Excellent breakfast selection as well. There was a small amount of noise from the main road outside but this did not disturb our sleep.

“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011

Nice and relaxing stay, exactly what we were looking for. My wife and i enjoyed our stay and the breakfast was great. The food was tasty and the landlady was very friendly and helpful.
We had a box of chocolates and flowers in the room nice touch for Valentine's day.

“Absolutely Brilliant!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2010

Whilst trying to get home in the snow I was stranded opposite the Gables! At that point I would not have cared what the place was like. However I was bowled over by the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. I have stayed in a few places recently in Oxford and the owners have been less than welcoming, This couple however were born to be in the hospitality trade. I was given directions to the pub and takeaway. Broadband was available. My room had chocolates and a decanter!. Also a dressing gown and hot water bottle were in the wardrobe (not needed however as I was like toast) Also a trouser press. Then in the morning whilst I had breakfast (A varied choice which was nice) Sally's husband turned up with a shovel and wellies and dug my car out of the snow. I would like to offer my gratitude for all their help and will certainly be booking here when i next need to stay in Oxford.
