We wanted a place to mix with the locals and this is what this place is. Built in the 1400’s!!! The entrance to the accommodation was around the back of the building and we were a bit amused and shock horror on our initial impressions of the reception in the narrow corridor, and the narrow uneven staircase to get to... more

Absolutely dreadful. We didnt actually stay here after being shown the room we had been allocated. Room was small. I dare not touch the bed let alone lay on it! I had a nasty feeling that something was living in it. Bathroom was just gross, filthy dirty, room was on the ground floor right next to car park, blind in... more

We just wanted somewhere for B&B at a reasonable price in central Oxford while we visited our daughter. Got a good rate on the internet. This suited us well and we were pleasantly surprised after reading some of the negative reviews. We did ask for a "quiet " room and we got No 8 with a double and single which... more

If you read Terry's review back in Feb 06 my stay compares pretty much with his. I insisted on not having rooms that had come up badly on this site and got room 7 which was ok - very old and dusty. Little hot water in the shower, bed was relatively comfy. The owner knows about the reviews on this... more

We were expecting to be in a isolated old inn... but we ended up in a new appartment on the inn car park... The location is GREAT: 5 minutes walk and you are in the center of Oxford. This is excellent. The appartment itself was showing its age but was clean and our two boys enjoyed the playstation on the... more

Dreadful. Room was small. Could feel the springs in the beds. Pillows lumpy. Shower lukewarm. Dangerously broken lamp above headboard. In the night an alarm was going off in another room (which we could hear clearly as there was a hole in the wall) and when we tried to find someone the ENTIRE building was empty!!! Eventually got through to... more

This old inn is superbly located for exploring Oxford. We had two rooms--number 4 which was in the old Inn itself and number 12 which was in a separate and newly renovated building behind the Inn. Number 12 was nicely appointed and comfortable for my daughter and her two children with plenty of space and good amenities. Number 4 was... more

After a very satisfying stay at the OBH in March, my fiance and I came back (with many friends) for the week of our Oxford wedding in August. Pete (the owner) was an invaluable resource for us and our fellow out-of-towners - suggesting places for food and drink, taking messages, putting us in touch with one another, giving me access... more

the self catering units are super clean, comfy and quiet. The inn is family run and we enjoyed our stay. the airport buses from london stop almost in front of the inn. It is also a pub so that is definate plus! The unit had a flat screen tv and entertained the kids whilst we went to the pub!! Breakfast... more

well what can I say after reading previous reviews I was having second thoughts, but after speaking to the hotel they assured me I would be considerably impressed. What an understatement, I was amazed at the standard of thier new self catering apartments, first things that spring to mind are clean, fresh, comfortable and homely, we stayed for 10 days... more
