Every thing was excellent and exceeded expectations.

Mikolaj United Kingdom

Comfortable bed, everything spotlessly clean, a warm welcome from the family, good facilities, and a really good continental breakfast. Location was handy for us coming from the south, and very close to the Redbridge park and ride.

Heather United Kingdom

Close to the bus stop to get into the city centre, friendly host, comfortable room, very quiet area and easy parking outside.

Emily United Kingdom

The owners are absolutely astonishing. Lliwen was amazing, and the rooms and location was top notch if you prefer to stay in a more quiet area like we do. 10/10!

William Norway

Agata United Kingdom

Jason United Kingdom

This B&B is a real home away from home. The room is beautiful, very spacious and really well looked after. Everything you could wish for is available (e.g. a little fridge). Liked the bathroom with the luxurious shower!

Carla Netherlands

You get so much more than you expect. The room was a decent size, en suite bathroom was a good size, really comfortable bed, fridge in my room, coffee machine in the room and a smart TV. The breakfast had a good selection of cereals, bread, preserves, breakfast bars, fruit, yoghurts, fresh juice and milk. Another coffee machine was in the dining room with full use (throughout your stay) of the microwave, which is also an oven etc. Lliwen was also a lovely host - very welcoming. Use of the drive to park your car.

Alison United Kingdom

Lovely small b & b,easy to find and a very short drive to Redbridge park and ride for Oxford city centre.Our host Lliwen was very nice and made us very welcome.The continental breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and we would definitely stay there again.

Lliwen
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.
