Great location, just minutes away from the river and the town centre.
Great location, just minutes away from the river and the town centre. The apartment is well equipped with everything that you could need. The chaise longue in the bedroom is ideal for an afternoon nap, or lazily reading a book. The town is a delight with history, good shops and restaurants and markets on Monday and Friday. One of those places that makes you consider returning.

Hive Mews has a lot of character, grade 2 listed, & in the middle of Abingdon, an historic town.
Hive Mews has a lot of character, grade 2 listed, & in the middle of Abingdon, an historic town. Inside the property has modern features. The bedroom & living room are spacious & comfortable. The heating is provided by old-style storage heaters, not all of which seem to be working. It’s not the most responsive type of heating as it stores heat overnight to release the next day. It might be useful to have written instructions for the heating and kitchen appliances.Parking is shared with other properties & is tight to reverse round in once you enter the courtyard, but achievable.Shopping is very handy & there is lots to do & see within walking distance.The owner is very responsive & helpful to any queries or issues.
