    The staff was not very friendly (first time in our 3 weeks stay in the UK that we were a bit disappointed). There is a private parking place at the location but it really was not useful for us. We arrived around 4 pm and that day we couldn't visit too much in Oxford (everything closes at 4pm). The next day we had to check out at 10 am so we had to take our car at a parking place, some miles away and then travel by bus to the city.

    The property is easily accessed and located at the edge of the town which is great if you travel by car as you can avoid the city centre's traffic. Rooms are small but very clean. There is a convenient bus station nearby.

    Need to be aware of the steep steps up to the property from the pavement. I wouldn’t even have thought of it had I not injured my knee, but that finished it off!

    Unfortunately I had injured my knee, so I was kindly offered an upgrade so I could have a room on the ground floor.

    No issue with sports view but 3rd party listing made it sound like parking was automatic. Spots for free were limited but we were able to use free parking all 3 days and if we needed there is public parking literally next door

    Room was very clean and everything good. Staff very responsive. Had a situation after returning home where we could not find a document we needed. I emailed them twice the day after I stay and response to both less then an hour. We did find it but I appreciated the quick response time. Overall would stay here again.

    The building is old so a lift cannot be installed. It is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Even a ground floor room has to be accessed by a flight of outside stone steps from the pavement to the entrance door.

    The room was very clean and had all the basic things such as a working TV and refreshments tray. It was checked every day. The guest house is close to town, near a bus stop and a small grocery store.

    The room was clean, well laid out with space for everything. The shower was fantastic, really powerful. Everything in the room was exactly as you would expect and there was a good choice of lighting. They provided three mugs for three people and lots of tea and coffee, no portion control, which was good.

    Nothing explicitly. Limited interaction with the staff but that was nice as with our own key, it felt more like a private flat than a 'hotel'. (This is more of a compliment than a criticism).

    Incredible location, just a short stroll into the centre. Easy enough to check in, with clear communication to the owner prior arrival. The room while small achieved all our needs for the duration (weekend). We would happily recommend this place to anyone considering it.
