Very comfortable and clean. Excellent room facilities

J United Kingdom

The owner was very welcoming and great, she was so helpful and friendly.

Sara United Kingdom

Perfect for me, who does not like cooked breakfast but greatly enjoys cereal and fruit, of which there was a great deal of choice!

Marian United Kingdom

Lovely breakfast. A friendly, attentive host. Easy to get public transport into Oxford. Pub nearby for meals.

Jan New Zealand

Nice welcome and felt right at home after a long trip. Owner was very helpful and flexible. Good and clean bed, room and bathroom. Location also convenient; not directly in the city but easy to access by bus. I walked the way back which is also a nice walk along the Thames river.

Andrénl Netherlands

I love everything about this accommodation! Lilwen, the host, is a lovely lady. She is so friendly and helpful, making our 3-week stay so enjoyable. Initially we planned to stay for 2 weeks but we extended to 3 weeks. The facility is clean and comfortable. We have everything we need in our room. If you like animals then you are in the perfect place! Kookies the dog often greet us when we return. Coby and blue, the cats, are so affectionate and playful. Just a little caution though, they like to come inside the dining room, where we have our delicious spread of continental breakfast, to look for morsels. Overall, it is a memorable stay and we highly recommend this place. It is home away from home.

Sylvia Australia

Very friendly couldn’t do enough for you room had everything tv fridge kettle etc

James United Kingdom

The owner was friendly without being intrusive. Breakfast: a good selection of cereals, yoghourts, fruit, conserves and cheeses. Range of beverage, including low fat. Although we didn't use it, there was an offer of use of microwave, crockery and cutlery if we wanted to heat up a snack in the evening. Bedroom(Azure): fridge was a boon, as the weather was hot and we could keep our water bottles cool. Easy to use coffee maker. Efficient shower. Could come and go when we wanted. Regular public transport access (bus 35 to city centre - Westgate Centre stop E3) (e.g. 3 times an hour on Saturdays, 2 on Sundays). Some local publicity information available.

John United Kingdom

Lovely welcome, free upgrade, personal coffee machine. It felt like a home from home.

James United Kingdom

Well equipped spacious bedroom with good en-suite shower room. Breakfast- no cooked breakfast, although boiled eggs available. Lots of toast, buns, cheese, cereals etc.

Oxford is very popular and as such guest houses and hotels can charge very high rates, even for a basic 'budget' room. As such there are very few traditional B&Bs in the area. We are one of a group of private owners who are dedicated to offer the traditional B&B in Oxford. This gives you the guest an alternative that offers a comfortable, quality home from home place to stay at great value. The property is a private house offering 3 B&B with over 10 years of history and a great reputation to maintain. In addition to the double with modern en-suite the second room is a double with shared bathroom with bath and shower and an additional double double room available at request that shares the bathroom We thouroughly enjoy welcoming people to the Oxford area and try to make it as memorable an experince for you as possible.

Hello, I'm Lliwen your host, as the name suggests I am a pure Welsh lady from the Snowdonia region of Wales where B&B in private houses are the main source of accommodation in my beautiful country. I have been offereing bed and breakfast over 10 years ago and has never looked back. I also manage a traditional bed and breakfast agency that assists visitors searching for affordable B&B provided by our very welcoming hosts offering bed and breakfast within their own homes. This is her primary line of work but enjoys running her bed and breakfast alongside this.

Kennington is a small village only reaching around 1 mile in length and ideally loacted 2 miles south of Oxford city centre and 3 miles from Abingdon town also. Is a quiet succluded village that has a local pub and local shop conveniently a 2 miunte walk away from the property. The 35 bus service runs frequently every 15 minutes at the peak times during the week and every 35 minutes on sundays.
