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

Our room was disappointing. It was very small with no room for a chair or surface to sit at. It had a strong smell of cheap air freshener. I eventually noticed that this came from a plug-it source so we unplugged that along with the noisy fridge. The shower room was clean but very very tiny. A very limited range... More

Stayed overnight last weekend and had a very warm welcome, rooms were clean, free wifi access, breakfast was excellent and with a bus stop very near for easy access to the city. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay - all six of us. A big thank you from the Welsh family .

Had a great stay here last weekend, twin room with small ensuite but very clean and cosy and warm! Shower was fine, not a power shower but still perfectly adequate. Bed was comfortable and next day breakfast was very good, with vegetarian full breakfast offered too as well as usual cereal, juice, yoghurt and fresh fruit! Slept very well as... More

I stayed one night whilst on business in the city, and compared to other B&B's in Oxford that I have used in the past, this one is far superior. Clean and tidy room with a good ensuite, and also having a TV with a decent range of channels. Some minor gripes though - the water flow in the shower could... More

On arrival, we were greeted by the Resident Manager, who made us feel at home. The Guest house was very clean throughout and the manager cooks an excellent Full English Breakfast! We would definitely return and recommend this establishment to anyone looking for clean, friendly accommodation.

I concur with the previous review, 2 years on, that it's a welcoming, comfortable and helpful guest house that provides a decent breakfast with a choice of continental, full English or veggie. The room is a bit small, the ensuite a bit squashed in the corner, the sink a bit small for a decent wash but for the price in... More

We recently were guests of Marilyn at the Inn. Breakfast was scrumptious, room clean,and atmosphere inviting. Little far from city center but manageable with public transport. Go stay at the Inn. You'll like it.

We stayed in the 5 mile for one night, Oxford can be pricey and at the more reasonable end of the market we were prepared for it to be a bit shabby...but not at all! The room was decorated to a high standard and exceptionally clean. Bedding smelt clean and was very comfy,which really matters to me when I'm away.... More

The house was warm and welcoming and everything was provided for us . The only down side I would say , was the size of the basin-it was a tiny guest basin and pretty impossible to have a decent wash, toiletries provided and an excellant breakfast made up for it . The owner was very helpful with local buses about... More
