Stopped for just one night to visit friends and family. I used to live in Abingdon, very close to the property, so knew the area was nice, but we were both very pleasantly surprised by how nice the property (no 22) was on the inside. The bedroom was a beautiful wooden panelled room and full of character, and the bathroom... more

Abingdon has some great period buildings and riverside loveliness but also a pretty dingy central precinct and a few pint-and-a-fight pubs, so was a little unsure what to expect from the Howard. It turned out to be a gem - very friendly owners and a fabulously quirky old building with twisty-turny corridors and stairs, very sweet little rooms and good... more

We stayed two nights (twin room and cot/bed for toddler requested). The owners have two properties in this lovely special part of Abingdon on Thames. The best street in town but has limited parking. We arrived to find a really strong smell of paint in our large quirky downstairs room. The 'staff' had gone so we waited for any other... more

I have recently relocated to Abingdon from the Midlands due to a change of Job and my initial priority was to find a bed for a few nights, 2 months later I rather regrettably moved into an apartment in the town and moved out of this fantastic B&B. I moved around within the B&B initially staying in a single room... more

The accomodation is fairly basic and in some cases quirky , the buildings are very old and have alot of character, the rooms themselves were clean as was the... more

We don't have alot of experiences with B&Bs, but we enjoyed the home feel of Mrs. Howard's home. It's an established location so don't expect any modern high rise hotel. But if you enjoy staying with friends in their home - you will enjoy it here. We did not take any meals on location due to meeting friends in the... more

I was extremely disappointed with this B&B. Arrived at the specific time we were told to check in and there was a note on the door informing us to call a number or go to another address. After meeting with the member of staff we were shown our room. Shoes had to be taken off before walking on the carpet!... more

Some confusion when we arrived as the accommodation is spread out over a number of houses on East St Helen Street. We went to the first one we reached on the way from the public car park (there is no offstreet parking available) and were slightly worried that the woman there had not heard of us. She checked with the... more
