Bed and breakfast Abodes B&B

Cnicht, 6 Blackman Close, Kennington, Oxford, OX1 5NU, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for Abodes B&B - rated 8.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

The host was extremely friendly and welcoming. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of. The breakfast (continental only) was great and plentiful and we had all the facilities we could possibly need. Location is great for day trips to Oxford and surrounding locations with a short and cheap bus trip. There was also onsite parking which was an added bonus.

Maria, Australia

The hostess is very nice. She just wants you to feel at home. The breakfast was really good and good variaty. Really Nice that their is a microwave/grill/oven you can use for dinner or lunch.

Judith, Netherlands

A lovely property with a very friendly and helpful host. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Adam, United Kingdom

The host is wonderful and the room is really nice and comfortable. The bed is extra comfy!!!

Rosanne, Malta

We felt so relaxed and at home. Lliwen and Serena could not have been better hosts. Room was beautiful and had more facilities than you could expect. Breakfast was extensive and excellent. Welcome was so warm and friendly. Local advice made for a perfect break

Bernice, United Kingdom

A lovely host, and so helpful. Kennington is just off the A34 - close to Redbridge park & ride. Lliwen suggested catching no. 35 bus from the end of the road - quicker and cheaper, and in Oxford before you know it.

Ann, United Kingdom

Fresh fruit for breakfast every morning. Friendly owner and family. Easy access to Oxford by bus. Good size room. Lots of thoughtful little touches.

John, United Kingdom

The owner kindly let me drop my car off and check in early as I was meeting friends in town. Cosy room. Nice touches such as a fridge with cold milk, water. Wi fi fine. There are useful additional supplies such as shampoo, conditioner, etc in the bathroom). They have a dog who is sweet. Tv in room. Good hot shower and fluffy towels. Very comfy bed. Convenient for oxford at a reasonable price. There is a bus just 5 mins walk away (number 35) which only takes 13mins to get to the city centre. You can look up live arrival times online to time catching it to and from oxford. Only £3.50 return.

Eve, United Kingdom

To sum it up, this was a perfect place to stay. So professionally ran but full of love and care. The breakfast was delicious and you are spoilt for choice. The room is spacious and has everything you could possibly need (including a fridge and real coffee machine). Bathroom is clean and the shower is fab. Lastly, the bed and bedding is the best bit, I didn't want to get up!

Emma, United Kingdom

The owner was very friendly and helpful. Property located in a quiet cul-de-sac, residential area. Bus nearby so no need to use park and ride to get to centre of Oxford, 10-15 minutes by bus. Room comfortable with hi-tech ensuite. Fridge in room with jugs of cold, filtered water and milk which was helpful esp as weather was very hot. Fan provided due to weather. Breakfast is continental but very varied incl. fresh berries/fruits, yoghurts, cereals, juices toasts etc - more than adequate. Plenty of information in room folder re local shops, restaurants and other services.

For a three night stay, the room was a bit small considering we had 2 large suitcases and the room was a bit cluttered with furniture. Also not having a pet myself, a dog living indoors left a noticeable odor for me personally.
The host was extremely friendly and welcoming. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of.

“Good value property convenient to oxford”
- • Leisure trip

It would have been nice to have a hairdryer (I did look!) and I couldn't work the fancy coffee maker in the room! I think if I had met the owner they would have been able to answer my questions about this. Breakfast was continental which was fine but there was no one there at the property when I had it = so although there was a toaster and spreads there was no bread. And again - there was a fancy nice looking coffee maker which I couldn't figure out how to use. These are all minor points though - I'm sure if the owner was around they would be able to sort these minor problems out. I enjoyed my breakfast of tasty granola with fresh blueberries.
