Typical B&B, welcoming host, OK for average traveler, Had no chance to try other rooms in the main building due to my late booking, but please do avoid the double room in the backyard: very low ceiling, which cause hand while waving hands,;having a piano in the room but you can never try touch it because its a private thing,...

Thank you for your comments, Mr. Wong. It was lovely to meet you both although we didn't have time to chat. The double room you stayed is our budget room, it is £20 less than the average Oxford double room rate and the facilities reflect the price. Guests are very welcome to use the piano at an agreed time, so... More

On arrival, we were welcomed by Norman, our host for the next few days, with a big pot of tea and assorted biscuits. The family room at the back of the house supplied the quiet rest we had hoped for. The room was sufficient in size for the three of us, clean and delivering the modern means of communication (flatscreen... More

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Timmer. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we enjoyed our chats with you all. Thanks to you, Norman is now constantly turning off the radiator in our own bedroom, even though the weather has turned cool lately! Small acts such as these do make a difference to the environment. We have... More

A 1930's house on the Iffley Road, perhaps a mile from Oxford City Centre. Room rather cramped - our double room was in fact a triple, so we were able to put our suitcases on the unused single bed - but we only had one bedside cabinet, and if one of us was looking for something in the wardrobe the...

Thank you for all your valuable comments, Phil. We are indeed one of the nearest guest-houses to Oxford on Iffley Road. Our triple rooms vary in sizes and welcome many couples and families. For example, parents who accompany a young student for interviews in Oxford request these rooms rather than a double and a single. All our beds are standard... More

Very good value for the money, located about a 25 minute walk from the center or short bus ride. The rooms are generally small and the walls are thin. So if that is important then take note. The breakfast is good and the owners are very helpful.

Thank you for staying at Heather House and for your comments, it was great to meet you, we are fascinated with your field of work. Our rooms range from large family rooms for 4 people to the small single, which is the one you stayed in. This single room is inexpensive as you kindly commented, and is very popular. A... More

Having just completed last leg of first stage of Shakespeare's Way we were very pleased to find such a welcoming host and such good accomodation. The house is deceptively large (looks quite small from road) and our room was very clean with a spotlessly clean en-suite. Our only disappointment was that the shower lacked any power and was cold (the... More

I had booked the double en suite for myself and my partner, but they upgraded us to a larger room for free when they saw I was booking from the States (they anticipated a lot of luggage, and wanted us to be comfortable -- also it is January and not tourist season so they had room). They were so welcoming,... More
