You get what you pay for, not much!

Room was small and cramped. Room was not en suite, despite being advertised as such. Lack of power sockets too. The bed was under the sloping roof, with heavy rain during the night it sounded like a million dried peas had been dropped on glass thus making sleeping difficult.

This was not the best guest house I have ever stayed in, for sure. The room had an unpleasant odour and there were damp patches on several walls. Fittings were not pristine either. Perhaps most problematic was the security light that was on all night and streaming through the (unlined) curtains. Towels and bedding were provided and were clean and the lady who greeted me was friendly.

Very small room. Private bathroom was not there. The ad in Expedia said one of the two of Thier chain hotels were rated higher with no private bath. The one which we booked said “with private bath”. VALUE FOR MONEY WAS LOW. I would NOT Recommend this hotel.

Staff was very friendly and the room was clean, however the condition was poor with worn furniture that had seen its best days. The single room I booked was advertised with a private bathroom (not en-suite), however it was used by other guests in the house as well. Some of the few sockets in the room did not work.

I thought the accommodation was very good I have found that organising accommodation on line that there is no phone number to call as I had mediocrity me that needed a small fridge to put it in But as in both off my bookings they did put my medication in there own fridge and froze my ice bricks I had with me The only susjestion I can make that they should state if there is a fridge in the room or not because I just expected there would be one The breakfast in Oxford was good but maybe a chance to have porridge made as a option would have been nice Overall very happy Strphen Brown

Great Getaway

Perfectly adequate stay.

It served the purpose for my stay. Somewhere cheap, not too far from Blenheim Palace. Pretty standard accommodation, clean enough, perfectly fine. The mattress was super soft, but not in a good way. It felt like it was way past it's use by date. Don't get me wrong, I had a comfortable night's sleep. But it did feel like it needed replacing. The people are lovely and the breakfast was good. I'd stay here again when I'm next in the area.

Disliked: Room comfort
My stay was not what I expected when booking it referred to the room being on-suite, which was not the case as was only provided with a wash basin. Although I did not have to go too far, to use the facilities, I would have preferred to have what was indicated when booking. The bed was not stable as moved whenever I did, so comfort could have been much better, but managed as it was only for a one night. Location was good as close to city centre and ideal for getting around. Breakfast was provided and staff where very accommodating. The guest house is being refurbished so hoping that the discomfort that I experienced with my room will be accounted for as this guest house has a lot of potential, just need to get those little bit right!

Great hotel is a great location - it's a bit out of the city centre, however there is a bus stop nearby that takes you directly in about 10 minutes away. It's a very good value for money. The room is nice, clean, the staff is very nice. Only thing to keep in mind is that there are stairs so may be difficult for people with mobility issues. If that is the case, I recommend contacting the hotel to see if they have a ground floor room.

Overnight stay

Perfectly adequate for a one night stay. Good breakfast included though I was unclear from the booking if it would be. Quite expensive for a room that was not ensuite. Bed comfortable and room was clean.
