I had never stayed in a B&B before and I can definitely say I got surprised of how good a bed and breakfast can be ! The owners were really friendly. Since we arrived from Heathrow very tired after an 11 hour flight, they gave us tips of places to eat nearby. The room we stayed was clean and cozy.... More

I stayed for one night in a single room. The Gables is clean and well equipped. The owner is welcoming. The prices are very reasonable. As to the whiskey..... well there was a decanter on the dressing table, with enough to allow a couple of nightcaps. Breakfast was hot, freshly cooked and excellent. More

We loved everything about our stay! Our hosts were lovely and made sure that we had everything we needed. The rooms are perfect, clean and well decorated. We hope to return to Oxford someday and when we do we will definitely make Gables Guest House our home away from home! More

Hello, thank you for your kind comments. The prices for our rooms are very competitive iincluding many complimentary extras which are available to all guests and we only charge £1 for 24 hours use of the wireless internet which we consider very fair, when we have been told that many hotels charge £5 for a short time.

My friend and I enjoyed a two. Isn't stay at The Gables. The proprietor, Sally, welcomed us warmly to her beautiful home. We shared a twin room which was spotlessly clean and we had lots of room. We were provided with fresh fruit, which was a lovely touch as well as hot and cold drinks, biscuits etc. the beds were... More

Had a lovely solo, two night stay. The single ensuite room was a good size with a large comfortable bed. The ensuite was large too with very modern decoration, a radiator and the best power shower I have ever had. It was a very well equipped room with drink facilities (inc a night cap), a flat screen T.V, toiletries, soft... More

You know how good a place is when you are struggling to find anything wrong with it. Shower head hose in bath needs replacing; bit of grouting by bed missing but apart from that… Well-equipped room; everything scrupulously clean. Sally, the landlady, has a natural talent for what she does. Welcoming, informative and good-natured; nothing is too much trouble for... More

We have stayed here on several occasions over many years. Sally is a very welcoming hostess, excellent breakfasts, lovely outlook over garden to the rear, ideal location on the outskirts of Oxford. Rooms do tend to be compact but are very clean and as other guests say there are lots of extra touches to make the stay more enjoyable. Perhaps... More
