Oxford's Most Stylish House - Garden & Parking

it was well equipped. Good location and parking spot was very handy. It was a lovely warm property and good shower.

The double bed did not feel like a double bed, it felt more between a double and a single, would have been good to know before

Location is close to train station. All the facilities in the house are in good working condition and clean.

Near grocery store and coffee shop.

Did not warm up in the mornings despite turning up thermostat.

There are a lot of things right with this property; lovely hot shower, great amenities, location is decent with a Waitrose around the corner, a parking space, we liked the decor. It’s a shame it’s been let down by very simple things, lack of care.

Firstly, I think the agent looking after this property is letting the owner down and most of these issues all come back to them. We advised our arrival time would be approx 1pm and unlike most properties we’ve stayed in, there was no compromise. The property is ready at 3pm, that’s it. The location on the map is also massively out and further away from centre which is a problem when you have a young child, we had to resort to sitting on shoulders to get him to and from the property. I can see this was mentioned on another review but hasn’t been updated. Upon entering there was fluff and bits on the stairs carpet and also across the landing along with a pile of post; cards and bills. Hair in the single bedroom and the skirting boards in the bathroom were untouched. Finger marks on kitchen cupboards along with splashes of food on the door and the roller blind in the living room was broken. In the bathroom, there are loads of flies stuck to the ceiling, soap scum marks and green mould on the shower. The extractor doesn’t work so it’s a steam-fest when you have a shower, now I understand the need for all the dehumidifiers. Disappointing. There is no manual so you have to try and find things as you go, such as the hairdryer which is the single bedroom wardrobe. When I took this down it brought a lot of dust with it. The heating is on a panel in the downstairs hallway with no instructions. Now, if you’re vertically challenged, the towels will be great for you. They are small and vary in quality and colour. The same for the ‘double bed’ which is the smallest double bed I have ever laid in and also had bobbly sheets from wear. Clearly the ‘small’ double bed no one usually buys (120 x 190). Myself and my husband are or very normal, slim stature and it was ridiculous. I retreated at 1am to the single bed as it was impossible to sleep. This also makes me question the configuration; the single bed room is larger and would happily fit a double or kind size bed.
