Absolutely awful - I honestly think this is the worst place I have ever stayed at - we were booked for 3 nights for a conference and ended up staying just 1 and that was because we got there to sleep so late in the evening we didn’t have a chance to find another option until the next morning. The shower room is damp and mouldy. The tap moved around so much. There was no hot water. The lights all fused and we couldn’t get them back on. The curtains didn’t fit properly and it was so noisy from the road. The tea and coffee had no tea. There was no cleaning or attention to the room for any of the 3 nights - we went back in to check when we parked the car there each day, no tea bags at all, no towel change etc. There was rubbish piled up outside. The table out the front of the guest house was all broken up and the top was lifted up. The only slight benefit was that after we had escaped to another hotel further outside of Oxford then we could use this place for parking, although on the last day the rude owner, the only time anyone had been around, also told us that we had to move the car or he would charge us another night. Would definitely not recommend!

Awkward for sure

It was just very awkward to check in and unclear where to park. The worst part was the shower drain was completely clogged and because there was no front desk we were unable to get it fixed. We all needed showers because it was so hot.

Do not waste your money

This felt completely like a scam. Not at all like the photos. Will be requesting a refund. Mould everywhere, can see it and even feel it in the air. Place has not been cleaned and is in desperate need of refurbishment. Please see the photos attached and ask yourself if you will be more or less clean after going into this bathroom. Smoke detector also covered up - perhaps mould spores and detectors were triggering.

Would score a negative if possible. Seemed like an illegal room, no proper door lock or windows. Was dirty, and sheets were thread bare. Better to pitch a tent in the park, and burn your money to stay warm. Will submit for refund when home.
