Nice big beds, helpful staff and good sized rooms. Fridge and tea making facilities were very welcome. We didn't have breakfast, but went into Summertown for that. I locked myself out of my room and staff were very helpful and sorted it straight away.

Great place to stay. Nice room. Friendly manager. But the best thing is you can catch the bus into the centre of Oxford right outside. £2 for the 2 mile ride with no parking problems!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
A really calm, peaceful place with the unusual benefit of a microwave and fridge in the good-sized room. Because of its position on a main road, getting into and out of the parking area sometimes requires patience, particularly if someone is coming out of the car-parking just as you're trying to turn into it, but that was a minor issue.

Great location for Oxford city centre and sights and on a direct bus route. Everything was perfect except for the bed which was so hard one could feel the springs through the thin mattress. Everything else was more than satisfactory!

One of the best B&B rooms I have stayed in. Room size was BIG! Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully provided. The whole place was aesthetically decorated yet very practical - could not fault it. Limited parking on site, but more off-road parking available on side road. We had to leave early, so did not have breakfast, so cannot comment on that. Overall 5 stars and highly recommended!

Jacqui

Very narrow entrance to the property. Mattresses were lumpy. Access to shower difficult due to height of bath, which was slippery would benefit from having some sort of anti slip in shower area. Positive-large room and private bathroom plus kitchenette made for a good stay. Lovely staff. Great introductory tour and advice on local information. Thank you
