Homestays in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

The location was a short walk to downtown Oxford and not far from a bus stop. I was traveling with my mother and adult daughter. We all slept well on the comfy beds. My daughter and I have celiac disease and had put a note when we made our registration months ago. We were both just hopeful for a nice cup of coffee or tea and some fruit. The owner went out of his way to provide us with a continental breakfast that met our dietary needs and was filling and delicious. He was so conscientious to mention that he used a separate toaster for our gluten-free toast. I would definitely recommend this lodging for the friendly and helpful staff, attention to detail, comfortable rooms and the location.

Great location in the centre of town with very easy check in, we had arrived early and it was with great that relief that Alex checked us in to the room straight away (thanks Alex) which was quite spacious and very comfortable. The only downside was that as the hotel is above some shops it is accessed via a number of steep narrow steps. This was our starting point for walking part of the Thames path and the venue kindly agreed to pass on our bags to the baggage transfer company (so a very big thanks).

The first person we fell in love is the manager Daniel Kiss. even we have never got a chance to meet him in person. Very pleasant and helpful with booking our stay. Always replied our email promptly. The second person is his colleague. It’s a shame we never got his name. Very helpful and friendly upon check in. Love smiling ☺️. Helped us retrieve key and open the door to our hotel. The room is very big and clean. It has everything you need inside the room. Even microwave. Plates and utensils. Bathroom is very clean. We stayed at the main floor. Not noisy even our room is facing main road. There’s a bus stop just right in front of the hotel. My husband and I enjoy walking. So We walked all the way to the city center and basically walk as far as our legs can take us. We will definitely go back again and highly recommended. Shame I don’t have any photos of the hotel.

Really enjoyed our 5night stay. The manager and every staff member were so friendly, polite and attentive. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I was apprehensive about being in a room at the front due to previous reviews re noise but it honestly wasn't a problem at all. The breakfast room is delightful and leads to a beautiful relaxing well kept garden with nice furniture. Choice of cooked breakfast served to you or continental breakfast if preferred. I would definitely recommend Pickwicks and look forward to visiting in the future. Trip Advisor says this hotel is 'pet friendly' this is incorrect as they do not accept pets

First up: do not, under any circumstances, book a room here. Booked a Saturday and Sunday for a friend’s thirtieth. Checked in and unpacked, then another couple showed up for the same room. Turns out the hotel had cancelled our room without telling us (but, notably, AFTER charging us) and then required us to leave our event, come back, pack up all our stuff, and move out, (or “we will take your things and throw them out on the street”).
The manager on the phone was unable to explain what had happened, couldn’t access the back-end system, and eventually decided that it was our fault that we’d mistyped an email address (an error on our end BUT we had been in text contact throughout the preceding week and they hadn’t bothered to tell us we no longer had a reservation), and then later that we hadn’t clicked “confirm” on an email we never got. Side note: I’ve worked in hotels for years; this explanation is nonsense; and even if it wasn’t - if you thought we’d cancelled, why did you still charge us for the room? I guess this is what happens when you don’t actually have any staff on the premises to sort out issues. As it was, after booking and paying for a room months ago, we were left stranded in the middle of Oxford with nowhere to stay. No apology from the hotel and it took two weeks of both of us dealing with increasingly hostile management before getting our room refunded. Minus a tenner they kept for themselves to pay for “the diary management’s company’s admin fee” - again, I worked in the industry, we all know that this is nonsense, Eviivo OBVIOUSLY don’t charge admin fees per email, but I guess they fancied helping themselves to an extra £10 for all their hard work in not hosting us. Just really small-time behaviour all round. It’s a shame because the room itself looked nice but I would recommend that you only book this place if you’re fine with not actually being allowed to stay in it.

Good environment, location downtown, walking and shopping are hate convenient, front desk staff service is warm and thoughtful, heart-warming, reasonable price, clean and spacious room, is the first choice for the next trip to Oxford.

The Oxford House is a great place to stay for a quick night in Oxford on a budget. We dropped in without a pre-booked reservation on a quick stop in Oxford on our road trip out to Wales and got a room right away without any issues. Our room was tidy, clean and was stocked with tea and coffee. Parking was free and available right out front.

The room is bigger than the sports scene, clean, warm, with a conversion plug, the staff is warm and thoughtful, ask the airport route to help me check the computer and print a piece of paper, especially good

Drive directly from London Airport to the hotel. The hotel is located in a residential area. The appearance is a submit-detached house. When we arrived, there was a large truck of renovation garbage at the doorway of the yard, which looked a bit messy. Entering the room was still very tidy. It should have just been renovated and looked relatively new and clean. The house is of course an old house with a certain history. The heating and sockets are a bit old. The sockets are arranged near the baseboards of the house, which makes charging awkward. Now everyone has so many electronic devices, it is recommended that the store provide more charging sockets. We booked a family room. The room is large enough. On the ground floor, there is a floor-to-ceiling window leading to the back yard. In summer, there should be a small inner yard with a table for leisure, but we arrived in winter and the yard was not decorated. Breakfast was arranged in a small restaurant in the sun room. The food is relatively rich and the environment is warm. You can communicate with other travelers. The manager and waiter are also very enthusiastic and can do their best to help the guests. The transportation is not bad. We basically walk to the central area, which takes about 20 to 25 minutes. The advantage is that you don’t have to find a place to park, and you can also see the small colleges on both sides along the way. There are not many places to eat around, but there is a small bar about 15 minutes' walk away, which has 1 Michelin star. It is a little expensive, but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is good. Students in the school are discussing business plans, which is a very university atmosphere. You can park on the roadside in front of the hotel, which is convenient. The manager let us park in the small parking lot of the hotel, which makes us feel at home. The small hotel is free and warm, and you can enter and exit with a password at night. Overall, I am quite satisfied. The next two pictures are of the small bar, and the last picture is Zixia on the road at dusk.

We visited the kings arms one evening whilst staying in chipping Norton. We had a lovely welcome and the land Lady was most helpful and accommodating. We also got chatting to a couple whilst visiting The famous farm shop who were staying at the kings arms and had nothing but good feedback. The Sauvignon blanc, craft lager and hot pork scratchings were really good! We would recommend visiting here. Thank you for your hospitality.

This was the first cafe I came to, walking from the free car park, and as I have been there before, went straight in, expecting something straightforward and quick, on a journey. I chose a jacket potato with cheese and butter, and was looking forward to a harmless potato, with a bit of grated cheese, a small salad garnish, and a little Pat of wrapped butter on the side. Unfortunately, this was not what I received at all. Three half potatoes had been sunk under a half inch layer of melted cheese, all dripping in melted better. 2000 calories incarnate! I scraped off most of the cheese and ate the inside of the potatoes. It wasn’t at all what I had wanted. The coffee was lovely, and the toilets very clean and well cared for. I wouldn’t have believed that a jacket potato with cheese could be like that. It is a nice cafe, and was busy. Next time I am passing through Burford, I will have my lunch at the garden centre again, as you can see what your meal will be like.

We met some friends for Sunday lunch. We booked and pre-ordered as we were a large party. John was very helpful in arranging things and the team looked after us really well. Sunday lunches and kids meals were great, including really good veggie wellington. Would recommend for friendly pub roast with friends and family.

It is located on the main street of Burford. If you come by car, you can easily get on the main street. The breakfast menu is very varied and delicious, so I highly recommend it. At night, it becomes a very lively restaurant, including locals. It is very lively. I stayed in May, and the weather was very good and I was able to spend a refreshing time. The room we stayed in was a twin room, but it was very spacious and had a beautiful bathroom, so I was very satisfied. Because it is a historic building, the floor is a little tilted, but I highly recommend it to those who can appreciate this character. I think it is a good value for money accommodation.
