As many other reviewers, my son and I stayed here while visiting Ole Miss. We stayed in the top floor suite (a double bed, a single bed and a bathroom...along with a sitting area). You cannot beat the location of this B&B...we walked to dinner every night in the square and the streets are filled with people. Excellent and helpful... More

We were in the suite on the third floor -- just right for a mom and two grown daughters to hang out in between walking around Oxford jaunts. It really is an easy walk to the quaint square. Ilene was gracious, friendly and served a delicious breakfast. Outstanding linens....As the title says -- just charming!!

I recently stayed here, celebrating Valentine's Day with my special someone. Very nice location, right down the street from our dinner plans. Mc'Ewens. We stayed in room # 1 King bed, claw tub, very nice size room. I love the tall ceilings. This room was very clean. We were here only a night and I wish I could have stayed... More

I rented out the entire facility for my April wedding in 2011. I could not be happier with the staff and all that they did to be so accommodating of my family. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who needs a place to stay in Oxford.

I would stay here again. Don't interpret the average rating as bad, it's just average. What I liked and disliked: Good: -Location, could not be any better. A five minute walk to "the square" and about a 10 minute walk to Ole Miss campus. Perfect. -House: Very nice, well maintained. Common areas and rooms were clean, well maintained, and well... More

We were lucky to find this place on a search of tripadvisor. We were lucky to find a room free on an Ole Miss game weekend. The house is a grand ole house with a really nice porch, a lovely breakfast room and a clean, fresh room. The bed was comfortable and the complementary bottles of water were a nice... More

The good stuff first: The 5-Twelve is a nice old house in a great location, with a friendly, welcoming owner and staff. It's clean and well-appointed. We had a very pleasant 2-night stay there. But the air conditioning was cranked up way too high and the bed had definitely seen better days. Most disappointing was the much-vaunted Southern breakfast, which... More

A breath of fresh air when traveling the 5 twelve offers a home away from home. A walk away from the main square and with clean beautiful sheets the 5twelve offers everything you want from a well run b & b. We loved our stay.

We were driving up from Natchez, MS to Oxford, MS on the Natchez Trace Parkway and ended up being waylaid somewhere in Alabama. This resulted us in us coming in near 11pm. We called the 5 Twelve around 8pm to let them know we were expecting to be this late - they told us that such a late arrival would... More

We were looking at Ole Miss as a school. Our daughter did matriculate there in the Chinese Program and in Croft. This is a great place to stay. Beds and baths were great. Internet worked. It's near the square, and you can walk to the campus. Really nice people. Love the porch rockers. We will return. I hate to write... More
