4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

Stayed here for 1 night whilst visiting the Oxford area. Good location, less than half an hour into the city centre, set on the outskirts of a small village near a main road (couldn't hear any traffic noise at all). We stayed in the outhouse - a set of little self-contained units including simple kitchen facilities (we didn't use these... More

I was in Didcot for a night and booked in to this b&b. The room, buildings and grounds were lovely. It was quiet and comfortable and a very good price. Close to central Didcot but far enough out to be in a beautiful country setting. Breakfast was good and the staff were very warm and friendly without being intrusive (a... More

I stayed here for a night prior to an early morning business meeting in Didcot and was looking for somewhere less budget corporate. I was not disappointed by the quality of the room, facilities were good with WiFi and Digital TV (albeit quite small) and very clean & comfortable. Breakfast was very good, and all of the staff were friendly... More

I spent one night at the Greensands as it was the only place with rooms still available while I was attending a nearby conference and can only recommend this place. I advised the owner during reservation that I would arrive late to check in-after 11pm and he was fien about this (not many B&B allow for late arrival). I stayed... More

My wife and I stayed for 10 days in Greensands whilst we visited areas my GGF lived before emigrating to Australia in the 1850s. Guesthouse was better than expected. Staff (Sue and Paul) were always ready to promptly deal with any enquiry and we given 'the run' of the place. Met the owners and they made us feel extremely welcome... More

The room was a nice surprise, it was groundfloor with patio doors opening onto a lovely garden with patio funiture. The bathroom was a nice size, the beds were comfy and the room clean, one small item, there were no bedside tables so nowhere to put cup or clock etc. Breakfast was very good and the breakfast room was light...

Nice stay in Greensands. Would have liked to stay more ! Very clean room, comfy bed, nice breakfast, nice service. The garden is just amazing. And a cosy pub with great food at walking distance. I would definitely recommend it !

Outdated environment, world-war-2 bathroom, room probably last refurbished before electricity was discovered because you can't find an outlet to plug your shaver. Don't expect anyone to change your towels in 3 days. Leave a used glass on your bedside table and it will rest there forever. A spider or two may share your room: be nice to them and don't... More

I though twice about writing this review - I wouldn't want the place to get too popular and then not be able to get a room myself! But lets not be selfish. I stay here frequently as do colleagues. Its a cut above the Premier Inn/Travelodge options in the area for the same price or less. Spacious, clean rooms, personal... More

Stayed here for 2 nights when in the area to go racing. Its in a very quite area but walking distance to a few local pubs. The place itself is absolutely spotlessly clean, really couldn't fault it. My bed was a tad short for me but no big deal really. The one reservation I would have is the walls are... More
