Good location for summer town shopping/bars/restaurants. Good bus transport into centre of Oxford. Friendly staff. Kitchenette really useful for snacks and light bites.
Handily located for Summertown ; just a short walk away. This is a lively location - plenty of options to eat/drink. Oxford city centre is also a short drive away. The room was comfy - the kitchenette was very welcome. The smart tv was an unexpected bonus. Only “gripe” was we were by the front door - unfortunately some guests like to slam doors! The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Dear Matthew, Thank you very much for your review and your comments, Many best wishes, Anita
Great place to stay. Nice room. Friendly manager. But the best thing is you can catch the bus into the centre of Oxford right outside. £2 for the 2 mile ride with no parking problems!

Dear Matthew, Thank you very much for your review and your comments, Many best wishes, Anita
Lovely clean spacious room with added benefit of fridge and microwave. Very convenient location and nice comfy bed. Enjoyed the continental breakfast which was delivered to our room. Loved the himalayan salt lamp! Hosts friendly and helpful. Would have preferred bath sheet rather than rather small towels provided. Excellent otherwise!
The proprietors were helpful and very friendly, the location was great, and the room was large and well-supplied. The parking was easy to navigate and the locking mechanisms were secure and simple.

We had large and comfortable twin bed room on ground floor for one night. Room was clean and equipped with everything that we needed, decor was relaxing. Convenient for Oxford but quiet and restful location: we had a good night's sleep.

Great room and very comfortable. We would definitely stay again if we make a future trip to Oxford! It is located right next to a bus stop that takes you into City Center.

Great location for Oxford city centre and sights and on a direct bus route. Everything was perfect except for the bed which was so hard one could feel the springs through the thin mattress. Everything else was more than satisfactory!

Excellent property with an amazing hostess/manager (Kavita Pal) who was very friendly, took care of our needs, is a storehouse of knowledge about local sites to see and places to eat in.

Booked a family room for 2-night stopover in Oxford. Friendly and super helpful reception; fab location with restaurants and pub a short walk away and a lovely canal side walk into Oxford centre. Nice touch having breakfast in our own room too. Full size single beds for kids which they loved. Onsite parking a big bonus.
