Cotswold House

The room was very basic, A massive update is needed. Shower very basic and just not very good. Everything is old and noisy. The walls are very thin and you can hear other people in their rooms. The walls are so thin I could even hear someone in another room snoring at night. Owner was very friendly and accommodating but unfortunately it was just too basic and I couldn't recopmmend this place or stay here again. The Premier Inns are not much more money and in my opinion way worth the extra. The most disappointing thing for me was the fact that breakfast was advertised however I was told it would be boiled eggs and beans if wanted otherwise it's continental. For the money I at least expected a full breakfast. I think that is bad advertising. Sorry for the negative comments but I stay in a lot of guest houses and hotels and this just was not a good stay.

Dreadful, dated , very shabby - dirty blinds and loose tiles in decrepit shower room, mattress soft with springs poking, hard pillows, headboard loose and knocking wall whenever I moved, chintz and 1980s decor, felt like I was in a time warp place. Needs a full refurb. Breakfast “boiled eggs and toast”. Priced at 4 star. Very poor value for money.

Dated. Dirty. I can forgive dated but this place is dirty. Lampshades falling apart. Shower room grimy. Someone left their Chinese takeaway in fridge! Breakfast would have been ok but I was not about to eat the prepped fruit. I asked for a spoon. It was provided from a table where people had just left. Dirty crocs yet to be cleared. Awful experience.

I have many bed bug bites from this place, we have had to throw out, wash and exterminate our luggage, which is costly and time consuming. This place is incredibly overpriced especially considering: -The fridge was mouldy - the place had bed bugs and needs an extermination, clean and redecoration. - - The decor is very dated and old. Positive - They were friendly

Friendly and welcoming staff,room cleanliness

We spent a night here as we attended an event in Oxford, and I personally was delighted by this traditionally designed English B&B! It was warm and welcoming, I had such a good sleep and I experienced the simple but classy breakfast served by the host. The road was quite busy and we could hear noise from other guests (it was a weekend after all!), but this house is a perfect example of the authentic British life and we will definitely be back!

Good place and helpful people

This is a well located facility for access to Oxford. But it is very expensive, given the poor quality offer. In spite of material in the room advertising a full English breakfast, it in fact only offers what they describe as a" continental " breakfast. The centrepiece of this is a boiled egg: and virtually hard boiled at that ! The only alternative us to have 2 boiled eggs ! The beds are small and the heating was inadequate for a mild night in March. It advertises as a 4 star facility but this must relate to their pricing structure as this accommodation is at best 2 star. Our advice is not to be tempted by the good location but to get a better quality deal elsewhere in Oxford.
