One of the best B&B rooms I have stayed in. Room size was BIG! Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully provided. The whole place was aesthetically decorated yet very practical - could not fault it. Limited parking on site, but more off-road parking available on side road. We had to leave early, so did not have breakfast, so cannot comment on that. Overall 5 stars and highly recommended!

Very narrow entrance to the property. Mattresses were lumpy. Access to shower difficult due to height of bath, which was slippery would benefit from having some sort of anti slip in shower area. Positive-large room and private bathroom plus kitchenette made for a good stay. Lovely staff. Great introductory tour and advice on local information. Thank you

We were in a bit of a rush when we arrived, and our hostess responded by booking us in super quick - and ordering a taxi as requested. We were in one of the Blenheim Rooms on Blenheim Drive - quite spacious. It was perfect for us.

We had such a lovely stay at the Marlborough House Hotel. The room was clean and staff were very kind. Our room had a large bathtub which was fantastic. The hotel is a bit outside Oxford city center, but it was easy to jump on the bus and get into town. If we return to Oxford in the future we will definitely be staying again!
