Homestays in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

I required somewhere to stay that would be local to an early appointment that i had on Monday 13th November. Having searched local B&B's etc and checked out a number of reviews The Conifers Guest House appeared to fit the bill. The booking was through *********** and once confirmed i was also advised that my room on the day had been upgraded. The room was ground floor to rear of the main property namely Number 10. Unfortunately the room central heating did not work and hot water took an age to come through. The room upgrade was in fact what i would call a family room with a single and double bed plus a kitchenette so all in all large enough for a single person stay. The only heating i could find was that of a small oil filled radiator and took some hours to warm the room up. Unfortunately the toilet and shower cubicle room was very cold. The room overall requires updating at best but as a single man staying just one night it was just about tolerable. If this was a free upgrade it leaves me wondering what was i upgraded from ???

We stayed here for one night in a family room as this was the only room available. We wanted somewhere with parking so this was one of the few hotels that came up for the area. We arrived early so there was ample parking. (There are 5 spaces at the front of the building) Check in wasn't until 2pm but one of the workers took us through to reception and we were able to check in 2 hours early which was great! The hotel is on a quiet street and approximately a 10 minute walk from the Jericho area which has several pubs and restaurants. It was around 15-20 minutes to the City centre. The room was a little dated but really spacious and clean. The bathroom was large and more modern. There was tea and coffee making facilities, an iron & board. Our only ”complaint” is the lack of a mini fridge in the room. Breakfast was really nice. Continental with lots of choices, and hot options such as eggs, beans, hash browns with toast. The information said there was vegan / veggie options but I didn't ask due to time. The staff were all friendly and helpful. If we were to return to Oxford, we would definitely stay at this hotel again. Thanks for our stay.

As a guesthouse we should compare it to other guesthouses but not when they are charging hotel prices. On arrival the staff was very rude. On being lectured on arrival we were asked to pay beforehand and then told our room was in the basement and my in laws were upstairs. On arrival at room I noticed mould on one wall, and it was 32 degrees and the room had no air conditioning. There was a very small shower room and I am generous if I say the tv was 10 inches. My in laws could not stand in their room, due to the sloping roof and had no place to hang their clothes. I went to reception to ask if they had a room with air con to which he said they were fully booked. I asked about their cancellation and refund policy and was told right now if I wanted it. I went to discuss it with the family when my son appeared and said that we had been asked to leave immediately because our attitude was not to be tolerated. I was upset but nothing major. Anyways I was very glad to see that the nearby travelodge had rooms at a mere £20-£30 more for the 3 days and proceeded to book and leave the said guesthouse. Ok the travelodge is a bit further away but you have taxis, buses and e scooters so no hassle in exchange for the comfort. My wife had stayed here years earlier and said that the standard has dropped significantly, with what was our room having been a breakfast lounge before. Having been in the hotel industry I found the guest house way below standard for guest house standards let alone travelodge/premier inn prices which he is charging. Customer service is key and these gentlemen had none:. Please do yourself a favour and do not stay here. Oxford has plenty of choices do not be fooled. This guest house should be downgraded by all sites and even inspected. Deplorable deplorable and more deplorable. A course in customer care is also essential for the staff here. It was our first day and nearly spoilt my holiday, had it not been for the abundance of options available at the click of a button.

Great breakfast included. A nice selection too. Near some lovely shops a great pub near by and bus routes couple minutes walk. Clean room nice and fresh. Price was very good. Will definitely be back again.

Very clean and warm. Our room was at the back of the house and it was very quiet there. Bed comfortable and we slept well. The shower clean and functional. Botley House close to the railway station and the city centre, there are many buses should you not wish to walk in. Value for money

We were welcomed by the most polite and helpful young lady who offered to carry our bags to our rooms ♥️ Offered a breakfast option as we arrived late in the evening and advised of local restaurants. Our room was absolutely perfect ~ extremely clean & comfortable king size bed aswell as beautiful bunk beds that could suit adults and children. Bay window with a radiator below ♥️ Tee, coffee, milk, sugar and water bottle. Draws and wardrobe to help you feal at home for aslong as you require. Strong shower with complimentary shower essentials. My favourite part was the multi charger (it was a life saver for us) Will definitely stay again ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The first person we fell in love is the manager Daniel Kiss. even we have never got a chance to meet him in person. Very pleasant and helpful with booking our stay. Always replied our email promptly. The second person is his colleague. It’s a shame we never got his name. Very helpful and friendly upon check in. Love smiling ☺️. Helped us retrieve key and open the door to our hotel. The room is very big and clean. It has everything you need inside the room. Even microwave. Plates and utensils. Bathroom is very clean. We stayed at the main floor. Not noisy even our room is facing main road. There’s a bus stop just right in front of the hotel. My husband and I enjoy walking. So We walked all the way to the city center and basically walk as far as our legs can take us. We will definitely go back again and highly recommended. Shame I don’t have any photos of the hotel.

We received a very warm welcome, and were allowed to check in several hours early. Room was big, well furnished, and comfortable. We particularly liked having a small table and kitchenette for our breakfast! Lovely toiletries provided in the bathroom. There is a small car park, and also on road parking. Couldn't have asked for friendlier, more welcoming hosts. Would definitely stay again.

The Oxford House is a great place to stay for a quick night in Oxford on a budget. We dropped in without a pre-booked reservation on a quick stop in Oxford on our road trip out to Wales and got a room right away without any issues. Our room was tidy, clean and was stocked with tea and coffee. Parking was free and available right out front.

The Oxford House is a great place to stay for a quick night in Oxford on a budget.

It is located on the main street of Burford. If you come by car, you can easily get on the main street. The breakfast menu is very varied and delicious, so I highly recommend it. At night, it becomes a very lively restaurant, including locals. It is very lively. I stayed in May, and the weather was very good and I was able to spend a refreshing time. The room we stayed in was a twin room, but it was very spacious and had a beautiful bathroom, so I was very satisfied. Because it is a historic building, the floor is a little tilted, but I highly recommend it to those who can appreciate this character. I think it is a good value for money accommodation.

This was the first cafe I came to, walking from the free car park, and as I have been there before, went straight in, expecting something straightforward and quick, on a journey. I chose a jacket potato with cheese and butter, and was looking forward to a harmless potato, with a bit of grated cheese, a small salad garnish, and a little Pat of wrapped butter on the side. Unfortunately, this was not what I received at all. Three half potatoes had been sunk under a half inch layer of melted cheese, all dripping in melted better. 2000 calories incarnate! I scraped off most of the cheese and ate the inside of the potatoes. It wasn’t at all what I had wanted. The coffee was lovely, and the toilets very clean and well cared for. I wouldn’t have believed that a jacket potato with cheese could be like that. It is a nice cafe, and was busy. Next time I am passing through Burford, I will have my lunch at the garden centre again, as you can see what your meal will be like.

There are only two rooms for overnight accommodation at the Royal Oak, both of which are accessed up an outside short metal staircase from the beer garden. The rooms are rustic rather than modern, which is what we expected. The room had a 7 ft ceiling. The room contained a large bed with comfortable pillows, two bedside tables with lamps, tea/coffee making facilities, fan, electric heater, TV, plenty of power points, iron, hairdryer, wardrobe and a good guest information folder. The ensuite bathroom had an instant electric hot water shower above a low bath. Shampoo, conditioner, body gel and body lotion were all supplied, together with two large bath towels and two hand towels. The internet was good but you had to reset if you closed it down. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful – a choice of cereals, orange juice, toast, tea, coffee and a very filling hot meal of fried egg, bacon, baked beans, tomato, sausage and mushrooms. Our hosts were very friendly and obliging. We enjoyed our stay very much. In regard to parking, there is private parking for 4 to 5 cars at the rear of the building, accessed through Pytt’s Lane via Swan Lane from High Street as Witney Street is one-way towards High Street. From the Royal Oak, it is an easy level walk to the main street. There is also a public carpark nearby.
