You turn off the main road and there's a house, an ordinary house with a gravel parking area. Inside there is a greeting from Sigrid and up in your room there are lots of printed signs: about what not to put down the toilet (blockages infuriate the neighbours); about keeping the world cost of cleaning towels down; and about porridge....

Im a little late writing this review but thought i must as the service here was wonderful! We came here for valentines weekend to venture around nearby Oxford. We booked the superior room which has a stunning bathroom with a large free standing bath! The room was lovely, and Sigrid's breakfast making skills wonderful! All in all i would definitly... More

In my experience, both Oxford & Cambridge suffer from over-priced, mediocre hotels that trade heavily on overseas visitors with money to spend and little discrimination. I have therefore always sought B&B accommodation in both cities to counter this and, having stayed at Rafters this week (Sun-Wed, 3-6 March), think I have enountered the best so far. I can vouch for... More

If you are looking to stay in Oxford....Rafters is the place to stay! Stayed at Rafters on 14th Feb. Everything was better than expected, I would defiantly stay again and recommend it. Everything was faultless and breakfast was just incredible.

I stayed with my partner for a night in January, the place was spotlessly clean, really warm, welcoming and beautifully styled. I was met by Sigrid, who was friendly and accommodating (she even went to some lengths to return a hat we left behind after we left) The bathroom was a real treat, with a lovely powerful shower and some...

This is a lovely B and B, we had the grand room with the free standing bath which is big enough for many people, a large walk in shower, a gigantic bed and a balcony. The breakfast was freshly cooked, with homemade breads and jams and freshly squeezed juice. Would recommend strongly, after experiences of mediocore B and Bs.

Good food, we really enjoyed the breakfast. Very clean from the moment we walked in. The decor is ultra modern so don't take the name Rafters too literally. Owner very friendly but gave us our space. Would recommend a stay there.

I stayed here whilst on business and must say this is one of the nicest B&B's I have ever stayed in! The piece de resistance is the beautiful bed, complete with goose down duvet and feather pillows ( the same as the ones supplied to the Burj al Jarab). There is also a free standing bath, with luxury bath oil... More

I recently stayed at Rafters whilst attending a business course nearby. I could not fault my stay there. Sigrid was a lovely host and nothing was too much trouble. The facilities were excellent and I enjoyed the touch of having fresh milk available in the small fridge on the landing for late night or early morning cuppas, also great to... More
