We stayed a week in this townhouse. It was rather disappointing that we were a family of 10 ppl and had been told towels were provided but found only 3 not very large ones were left. We had to wait until the cleaner brought some more the next day, a challenge in the extreme heat. A cot was provided for our infant-thank you. There were not many working light bulbs, and when the one in the hall entrance way blew, the landlady said she'd bring one round in the morning but we never received it. Was quite offputting that the shower and bath didn't drain well, especially the ensuite. The water did not drain for hours so you had to stand in dirty water and hours later the dirty water was still there. When we complained about it we were told that we should use it as we would normally and it will drain. But that was definitely not the case! Some messages were left unanswered. Amenities were basic. Superficially clean. No clock on the wall as in the picture. Wouldn't have been comfortable longer than a week.

would have been nice to have the owner great us to explain how things worked or even a welcome pack on how to operate heating etc it was very cold in the evening. there is not three bathrooms as advertised only one on top floor an en suit shower on first floor which is very dangerous the tray is full before the water is hot, and there is a toilet on the ground floor. the cooker hood did not work and a serious lack of smoke alarms. overall the house and garden feel neglected it was not up to rental status the way it should be. however it did not spoil our stay we ate out most nights in the pub just ten minutes down the road food was lovely there. buses in to town every half hour did not need car

Cette maison correspondait tout à fait à nos attentes: très accessible en bus depuis Oxford avec de nombreux couchages. Nous avons apprécié le lave-linge et le lave-vaisselle. Il n'y a pas de salle de bain au rez de chaussée mais on en trouve une au premier et une au deuxième étage.

Stayed in this well situated house for a visit to Oxford. There were 5 of us and we found the facilities were hit and miss. The beds are all comfortable, but one of the toilets didn't work. The kitchen had a wide range of pots and pans but only 4 forks and 3 wine glasses. It was moderately clean and the bus stop to Oxford is very close with regular buses. Conservatory was lovely on a warm September day and the owner was very helpful when we had a power cut, this was caused by a storm nothing to do with the house.Ok for a short stay.

Good value for a family of eight adults 2 babies and 2 dogs. Starting to look and feel a little uncared for. Uncut grass, drawers not fully working, not enough space for all 8 to watch tv together.Thankfully weather was amazing and most of the time we were outside. Small point but matching cutlery and glassware would have been nice. Lovely Denby crockery helped. The supply of highchair and cot could improve child friendliness but we took folding equipment so not too much of a problem.

Very nice and clean accommodation,well equipped,convenient location with pub and shop nearby. We had a great time staying there. Thank you Katrina :-)

Very enjoyable stay, well located, well equipped & comfortable for 5 adults. A few little things would have made it even better, eg a proper shower door in the twin ensuite, a few lights didn't work and would have been good if the garden was useable. Overall good value for money.

Nicely located in a quiet area, close to bus services, shop and farmacist 5 minutes walking distance away. spacious to fit easily 8 people.

An ideal location for visiting Oxford, well situated on a regular bus route to the city centre. The house is a tight squeeze for 8 adults with minimum furniture, glasses, crockery, cutlery, towels. Despite being assured problems reported by previous reviewers had been fixed we found these were only temporary solutions and reflected the general lack of care evident in the house and garden.

The number of Boars Hill House Defects spoiled the Christmas holiday which had been planned for months. Family travelled from Australia and the USA to share this time. Many of the problems listed below we later discovered had been reported by previous guests but had not been fixed. Broken light bollard on back deck Kenwood cake mixer does not work Two lights over sink do not work Range hood over stove does not work Dishwasher top spray arm worn & clashes on top tray, does not wash well Shower screen on first floor shower recess is broken Toilet seat in first floor bathroom broken Carpets dirty/spotted No sharp/carving knives Limited glasses Rubbish bin lid does not close Door on cupboard under sink broke, No dishwashing liquid or soap Refrigerator and oven dirty (baked on food on over trays) Mould in kitchen cupboards Mould in first floor bathroom No grate on drain from first floor shower Water backs up in first floor shower base before draining Smoke detector hanging from ceiling No clothes dryer as advertised No documented instructions on how to dispose of rubbish, operate the heating or other basic functions.
