Newton House

Arrived early, 12.15pm, checked in but was told our room was ready but we couldn’t go to our room before 2pm.???????? A free continental breakfast was unsatisfactory. A bowl of fruit looked bruised and fermented. One guest asked for some more raisin bread and was told “No, you have to use the bread that’s there” My yoghurt was suspect so I left it. Room was quite good, but bathroom amenities were poor.

After traveling from London to York and than Edinburgh, we ended in Oxford for a 2 night stay to end our family vacation in the U.K. The hotel was easy enough to find and, as advertised, parking was first-come / first server. The parking quarters are very - VERY - tight. You may want to consider parking at the P&R down the road and Uber al walk in if you drive anything of size over a mid-size sedan. We were driving a van (9 seats) and unfortunately had some damage upon exiting. The rooms themselves are OK. The layout is interesting and perhaps a bit confusing, as it's basically two joined terraced houses. Be ready to climb the narrow stairs with full suitcases, but luckily we were only two flights up. The rooms themselves were cozy (=small) but clean and comfortable. The showers were good and clean, again somewhat cramped but the location (10 minutes from the center) made up for that. The bed however is not from these days. We had a doubles room, but the bed was hardly large enough for two. Again - it made for two cozy nights. The road in front is busy with, surprisingly, a lot of emergency traffic (FD, PD) so if you are sensitive to sound perhaps ask for a room at the back. The service and breakfast were good. Recommended for a casual stay near the center, but don't expect any frills.

The girl at reception is not very welcoming, she seems to be busy all the time with other stuff. She didnt explain us anything about the rooms, breakfast times, etc. The bathroom is very small and the fan is so loud, it turns on everytime you switch the light on. Breakfast was scarce and we had to ask the lady in charge to refill the food trays. Location is good but not too close from the city center. It was an average stay, we wouldnt come back.

We had a wonderful stay in Oxford! Beautiful B&B. Friendly staff, comfy bed, nice breakfast! Great location!

We found the owner to be very friendly and helpful with one or two small issues but these were sorted quickly. One of the days happened to be the hottest of the year so far, June, so the owner even placed an efficient fan in our room. Breakfast was just right, good choice, no fry ups and a good selection of vegetarian/gluten free meals for my wife. Location very good for city center with a bus stop almost outside the B/B. Would definitely stay here again.
