Room was very spacious. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast said until 9.15 (Saturdays)but staff were clearing the breakfast things away by 8.50 thought this was far to early. Nice selection of fruits and yogurts, cereals, but note no full breakfast only boiled eggs. Excellent value other wise.

The property itself is nice and the staff is very friendly. The breakfast is very limited. My bed was a little hard and the room has no heat so it got cold. The wifi was really bad.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Very average stay.

Mark the manager very friendly, and carried luggage upstairs. Room was clean but the decor is dated, threadbare and stained carpet, uneven floor. Sheets were clean, but the mattresses were very old with springs poking out, leaving us with back aches. Bedding old and worn, Tv didn’t work at all. On the positives, continental breakfast was very nice, fresh fruit and good choice of cereals. Obviously this place is in great need of refurbishing, front entrance and garden untidy and not appealing.

Four day stay whilst visiting son at university. Location ok with bus service very close. Communication from hosts prior to our stay was really good. Self checkin (late around 8pm) was easy. Breakfasts were nice with lots of fresh fruit and eggs etc. Room was very dated and bed headboards very dirty. Curtains ripped, pillows could do with being replaced. Walls are very thin so could hear what was going on next door. Towels not replaced until asked and then no hand towels provided. TV didn't work but that didn't bother us too much. Room does have kettle, tea, coffee etc. A little noisy with street noise but not too much. Good enough for the budget traveller as Oxford quite expensive place to stay.

The property was clean and in a convenient location though the property was rather dated and could do with some new carpets and some TLC. The light in our bathroom was not working and seemingly hadn't been for some time as there was a torch in there. The fruit and cereals for breakfast were lovely - but the hot food available was limited. Our key was left under the doormat on arrival along with a welcome note.

The hotel was really great. Mark was an amazing host and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The room was spacious and comfortable. The only minor downside was that the toilet flush and shower pressure were a bit weak. The continental breakfast was delicious, and we really enjoyed it each morning. Quite easy to go to the city center as there is a bus stop nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Good Oxford B&B

Mark, the manager, was very helpful in all respects and made me feel welcome & went out of his way to help me with booking a taxi and other requests. The B&B is beginning to show its age, but was located in my preferred area of Oxford and close to the bus stops. A little more breakfast with a more choices would have been nice - but overall, I had an enjoyable stay.

I never stayed in a B&B before and this one was old-fashionly cute. The staff was friendly and very helpful. In the breakfast room you have a choice of cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit which you get yourself and toast, eggs, coffee, tea which is served to you. This is a straight drive to the main tourist areas of Oxford. The bus is right outside but we drove. There’s a fridge and coffee, tea in the room also. We stayed two nights in August 2025.

4/10 Poor

This place was old and very run down. The rooms. Were incredibly small with only one chair which was way too big for the room. The sound of running water was constant. The hall way smelt odd and the service especially at breakfast was less than acceptable, even thought the offering of tea, coffee, fruit, toast and eggs( upon request only) was reasonable.
