We had a fantastic weekend very much enhanced by our stay at Lavender Cottage. The B&B is situated in a quiet position but near to an excellent bus service that goes to the city centre. For the more energetic, the Oxford canel is also close to hand giving the opportunity to ride right into the centre too. It is ideally... More

This was a wonderful place to stay. Thoughtful hosts who catered for a wheat flour allergy and suggested suitable places to eat too. Breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit cereals, yoghurt and a choice of cooked breakfast with home made bread. The room was stylish and comfortable with crisp comfortable bedding and the ensuite bathroom was beautifully appointed. We stayed... More

I'd been dwelling in Lavender cottage for 15days and believe me this is a 5star B&B at the cheapest price of the Oxford area! They clean everything everyday very very very meticulously, every day I'd fresh flower in the room, snacks, water, fresh milk, te', everything You need. The breakfast was amazing, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, eggs, beans, toast, mushroom,... More

A beautiful place to stay. The attention to detail is second to none; a well stocked refreshment tray in our bedroom and Molton Brown toiletries in the en suite bathroom. There were fresh flowers from the garden in our rooms and in the dining room. It all just made me smile! My husband and I had the double room which... More

This B&B is real hidden gem and was only recommended to us after our usual B&B in Oxford was fully booked. This has now become our new favourite! In a quiet area of a beautiful village with shops, restaurants and pubs on your doorstep, the location is perfect for our regular shopping trips in Oxford and just a stones throw... More

We stayed for just one night, but would have been content to spend the week at Lavender cottage. The cottage has been extremely well and sympathetically renovated and the fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard. Peter and Rosemary's attention to detail did not go unnoticed and everything is provided to ensure you want for nothing during your... More

A 15 minute drive from Oxford, this wonderful cottage is a real find. It's a home from home, but with better furniture! There are 2 rooms, a double and a twin. We stayed in the double room, and really cannot fault it. My husband found the bed too soft (he told me this 2 days after our visit !!!), whereas... More
