Oxford weekend
Lovely large rooms, with kitchenette. Good sized bathroom with shower/bath. Location is great, with bus stop just outside. Which is great with Oxford's very regular, clean public transport.
Parking is a little tight, but very welcome.
Overall a lovely place to stay and would definitely stay again.

Bed was comfortable and room pleasantly presented. Table and chairs and kitchenette useful. African book very enlightening. What looked like complimentary snacks and drinks next to kettle were chargeable and it should have been more obvious that it was a mini bar system. Frontage was uninviting and parking cramped and not enough spaces for every guest car.

Location handy to the city centre. Free parking available. Rooms a good size. Pillows and bed linen dated/old and need replacing. Assistance from reception limited - they are not in attendance in the evening. I requested our bathroom towels to be replaced during our stay and they weren't. This property is more of a guest house than a hotel.

Staff and location are wonderful. Parking was great, the ensuite bathroom is extremely clean (new construction?). Lots of road noise from room facing the street, as well as neighboring rooms, but what can you do, its expected. Bed is on the firmer side. all in all an excellent stay.

A really calm, peaceful place with the unusual benefit of a microwave and fridge in the good-sized room. Because of its position on a main road, getting into and out of the parking area sometimes requires patience, particularly if someone is coming out of the car-parking just as you're trying to turn into it, but that was a minor issue.

We stayed for 2 nights to meet up with family from Australia. The location is very convenient for travelling into Oxford on the local buses. There are also restaurants, cafes and shops within a 15-minute walk. Very convenient for us
