OYO Lonsdale Guest House

Able to walk to the centre of town. Hosts were attentive, helpful and accommodating. Would recommend.

We were traveling by car and struggled to find the place as there are no visible signs showing Lonsdale Guest House on the roadside. We found the place from the address, but there was noone there. We eventually found a sign at the door asking guests to call or visit the guest house two houses next and finally shown to our room on the second floor. The room was modest but seemed to be equipped with all basic facilities. But the kettle was full of scale, and even after washing, the coffee did not taste good at all. Breakfast was served at the guest house where the staff were. The staff on duty the next day were different from the staff on the first day, which made things complicated as I had been made to pay the accommodation fee twice and seeking a refund (which I finally got). Other than juice, fruit and cereals you help yourselves to, the breakfast was limited to eggs and toast. Although the bus service to Oxford is quite good and there are restaurants and shops around the area, I felt the accommodation fee I paid quite expensive compared to the room and services.

Very clean, parking straight outside, close proximity to the city centre with a few essential shops and small cafes less than a minute away. Would recommend.

It served the purpose for my stay. Somewhere cheap, not too far from Blenheim Palace. Pretty standard accommodation, clean enough, perfectly fine. The mattress was super soft, but not in a good way. It felt like it was way past it's use by date. Don't get me wrong, I had a comfortable night's sleep. But it did feel like it needed replacing. The people are lovely and the breakfast was good. I'd stay here again when I'm next in the area.
