Kingfisher Barn

I was very impressed with the prompt communication I received beforehand. When I arrived it was a beautiful day so the courtyard garden was lovely to sit in. (Yes more chairs are needed- at least two per room). Easy to check in with plenty of parking, and the room was welcoming with little touches such as hot chocolate. Towels were clean and lotions provided. I did notice mould on the bathroom floor. I found out why the next morning as the shower cubicle is not sealed sufficiently. Nevertheless the shower itself was good and the wi fi was excellent. The TV adequate but I wasn't there to watch TV. I did find the room stuffy so perhaps some air conditioning units are necessary. I didn't want to leave the window open as it was at ground level so I didn't feel secure at night with it open. Breakfast was ok, I appreciated the warm croissants and it was nice taking fruit and porridge back to my room. The site has big notices showing you where your room is. All the accommodation in the area is expensive so I didn't think their price was excessive although of course it would build up if you stayed for a while. And then there is the lane to walk down for any facilities , but it is in the countryside!

Stayed 1 night to break journey, in a b&b room. Self check in with good communication the day before with instructions of what to do etc. The room was quite spacious, set alongside other units, surrounding the very pretty courtyard which was full of spring bulbs. Accommodation was clean, bright & warm, with a surprisingly large ensuite, considering this was a converted stable I believe. Beds were a little soft for our liking but that's a personal preference & you can't please everyone. Tea tray providing tea, coffee, hot chocolate & a couple of biscuits always welcome. Breakfast in the barn was continental but enough for us, with cereals, fruit, toast & croissants. All in all, a pleasant stay.

Very narrow and slippery shower over bath. So narrow that the shower curtain sticks to you, not sure of the hygiene aspect of this. Saggy, grimy sofas. Oven produced a huge amount of black smoke when turned on. Just across bridge from town centre but you have to walk along a long narrow lane. Very strange chimney outside bedroom which belches out smoke/steam every 15minutes day and night.

Beautiful location . Lovely walks to Abingdon. Breakfast great. A hidden gem. The staff especially Millie the manager, were so kind. Local restaurants all within walking distance. They are opening more accommodation soon . I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you.

Brilliant location, a 10 minute walk down the lane will bring you to the town or the river walk (loved watching the boats go through the lock). Buses from town into Oxford run every 20 minutes if you’ve exhausted Abingdon, I do recommend visiting the museum. Accommodation not 5 star but was of the standard we expected for the type of property and had everything we needed, bigger than expected with a lovely powerful shower in the bathroom . If you’re not happy with something or need something please speak to a member of staff and they will try to accommodate. Take a torch if you plan to be out after dark, the narrow road has a good surface but is unlit but the complex has motion detecting lighting. Really enjoyed our stay here and if returning to the area would stay again. Definitely recommended

Room 6 was clean and the bedding was good. The bathroom was a good size and the over the bath shower was powerful .The surroundings were very pleasant and all well maintained and very quiet location. The breakfast was good ( no full English). The location was good for walking access to Abingdon and nice walks near the river, and plenty of parking. The bed was very soft and the room was very short off plug sockets. The shower screen was very woeful and leaked badly. The bath was not designed for showering and was very narrow. Average value for a bed n breakfast.

Very well placed cottages and rooms - near to the little town of Abingdon and the Thames - a 15 minute walk. Surrounded by beautiful countryside. Clean and comfortable room. And a very large bathroom! Very powerful shower. Lovely fresh breakfast - fruit, cereal, croissants, toast, yoghurts etc. Tea and coffee. We sat in the sunny courtyard. Friendly young woman making the coffee, and clearing plates etc. Only one negative point - the noise from the boiler flue/vents. There was one right next to our room (room 1), and one on a wall opposite. It continued into the night. Not sure much can be done about it though, other than requesting a room away from it. All in all, a very nice stay. Thank you.

Over priced for what it is. Good points: Good location, clean, lovely courtyard, spacious bathroom, great water pressure in the shower, good wifi. Dog bed and bowl in room was a lovely touch Bad Points: not enough seating in courtyard, terrible breakfast, should not be defined as continental, options were cereal or toast with some measly fruit options and the tea wasn’t great. TV was stuck on Heart FM on loud as the batteries in remote were dead. Surrounding garden areas need work. Room was stuffy, could hear everything from our neighbours. No one to check us but our room was open, however we initially tried to get in room but we couldn’t and couldn’t get contact from the number supplied, turns out luckily though the door was just stiff so did manage to get in OK. £20 extra is the most we’ve ever paid to add our dog

We had a very relaxed and comfortable stay. The rooms are warm and comfortable and perfect for a stay by the river Thames. Breakfast is continental and plentiful. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they kept the place spotless and nothing was too much trouble. It’s a short walk to the river, and town centre with restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. It’s very dog friendly too. I highly recommend it. Thanks Millie for looking after us!
