Every room is well-equipped with amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, a wall-mounted LCD TV, an iron with ironing board, a hairdryer, and a hospitality tray including tea, coffee, and a mini-fridge with milk and spa water.

The Cotswold House was a really enjoyable place to stay. The room was lovely and clean, the beds were comfortable. Checking in and out was easy.
The breakfast service felt really personal thanks to the excellent staff. It was a simple breakfast but of a high standard. I would definitely return here in the future as it was excellent value for money.

The reason for the 4 star room is just because the shower wasn't the best, but other than that everything was great.

Host Mark was very welcoming. The proximity to Oxford is perfect with a regular bus service into and back from the city. Extremely good value for money. I will definitely stay again.

Had a lovely stay here when in town for a graduation. Mark gave us a really warm welcome and the room was great, breakfast was nice too. Having a front door key and being able to come and go without having to ring was a bonus too if staying out a bit late. Close to Oxford centre, just a short bus ride.
Only downsides really would be the water pressure in the shower isn't the best, and the decor is a bit dated but it has everything you could need for a few days and was a great price for a graduation weekend. We would come again.

Good location, just 7 min by bus to City center. Very nice owner/manager, parking available. Rooms quite old, house has seen better days, definetely no 4 stars.

Good location a bus away from the city, and good.value price. Genuinely warm welcome extended by the manager on site and the member of staff serving breakfast was attentive. Overall, could do with a bit of maintenance and the ability to provide full.cooked breakfasts. Our room had substantial.damage to the shelf.on which the fridge sat, and the main bathroom light didn't work. We would.also really appreciate a larger bed, although Queen size is sufficient.

A Quaint, charming cottage feel to this B&B. The manager, Mark was so welcoming on our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for him throughout our stay. Room 5 very good, bathroom exceptional. Breakfast great. Fruits, yoghurt, cereals, juices, toast and boiled eggs. Tea and coffee of course. Hot chocolate too! Highly recommended.

Rooms were very dated and not very private (could hear adjoining rooms through the walls). The bathroom was rather large but missing much of its window blinds. An extra twin bed was located in the room but other than the beds, there was nowhere to sit. Seven cars and a couple of motorbikes made for challenging parking. 10 minute walk to shops and groceries. The continental breakfast was well stocked and we were offered boiled eggs and toast.

Single traveller so booked single room. It was dated and in need of refurbishment. It was like staying in Fawlty towers as you couldn't turn the light off in the bathroom, the bedside lamp was flickering so I had to turn it off, there were 2 TVs neither of them were working. There were Tea and coffees milk and cup but no kettle. It was 29 degrees outside and I was very hot, there was no fan and when I tried to open window it was coming off its hinges, I thought it was gonna fall out so pulled it back but was able to close it properly. It as not worth what I paid, thankfully I only stayed one night in that room
