Cotswold House

Clean and tidy with a homely 70s feel. Fantastic and really friendly staff made us feel very welcome. Only 7 rooms so nice and quiet. Parking for about 6 cars. Good breakfasts, mainly fresh fruit, cereals and boiled eggs. Good sized room and bathroom ( shower takes a while to get hot though) We chose this as it is on a main bus route into the city where parking is basically non existent. £2 per trip each so cheaper than parking and only 15 mins to centre. Never had to wait more than 5 mins for bus either way. Beautiful & fantastic historic city. Well worth a trip and Cotswold House is the perfect base for a couple of days. Highly recommended.

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

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.

Stayed here as a base for the Queen Extravaganza show at the new theatre, On arrival we noted there was ample parking, The owner greeted us, he was very friendly & cheerful, he gave us our room keys & explained a few basics ie- breakfast times etc, The rooms are large & comfortable (some may say a bit dated but remember you are not paying top dollar), There was plenty of tea, coffee & milks, usually you only get enough for 1 maybe 2 cups but here you get loads, The beds were comfortable, the bathroom in my room was big & spacious, The rooms were very warm but turning the radiator thermostats down soon had the rooms more to my liking, The owner had arranged a taxi for us, we had asked for a taxi number but he offered to call one for the time we wanted, The breakfast is a continental type, tea / coffee, cereals (lots of choice), fruit / fruit juices, toast with jams / marmalade, boiled eggs all served by a very friendly, smiling lady, she offered for us to have breakfast earlier than the agreed time, I cannot fault the place, if you want 5 star rooms then go & pay 5 star prices but if you are more interested in 5 star service then this place easily delivers & more,
