This was a lovely B and B on the direct bus route (5-10 minutes) into Oxford city. Ashley, who manages the place was great, very friendly and helpful. The room was pleasant and cosy, and the en-suite clean and modern, if a bit tiny.

A terrible stay!!! The day we arrived at Five Miles is very hot. We soon found out that it’s even hotter inside than staying outside because no air conditioner, no fan, and no screen door or window!!! But, it charges a higher price than a four-star hotel! Crazy! The other crazy thing is that there is no duvet cover. That means they do not even wash their quilt and blanket. Don’t know how many people used the quilt!!! As a B&B, they even don’t decorate their house a little bit. No flowers, no decoration at door as well as at back yard . The patio chair is dirty. So wired! The only merit is that the breakfast is good. Overall, terrible! I will never go back!!!

Tiny remodeled room with parking
We had a great stay at the 5 mile. The rooms are very small yet newly remodeled. The service is great, the staff is friendly, great breakfast and park your car free and take a bus to downtown oxford, where there is no parking. We love Oxford, be sure to take a tour and find one of several rooftops where you can view the town. By the way, a one day bus ticket is good 24 hours, so you can go back and forth as many times as you want. Find the pubs where the BBC cast of Morse and Endeavor used to hang out.....get a pint or two. Join a church service with Choir at the Christchurch Cathedral.....takes you back 100’s of years.

Comfortable place to stay
We needed a place to stay for the night near Oxford and it made an ideal stopover. We were told by Expedia that the room would be 269 square feet, but it was only about 100, so much smaller than we had expected. However, it was comfortable, the staff were friendly, and we could park the car!

Big price for small room
Good location with bus stop near by. Best breakfast I ever had. Lorraine was very attentive and provided much needed information. Room was typically small with small bathroom and tiny shower. No room to unpack and no dresser.

Clean, comfortable, short bus ride to Oxford
Guest House is about 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Oxford by bus. Bus stop is just steps from Five Mile Oxford. Room was clean. Ensuite was extremely cramped but serviceable. Breakfast was very nice. Manager allowed us to leave our rental car at the house while we took the bus into Oxford as parking is very difficult in town.

Fine
The room was fine. It wasn't very big and I wasn't sure where the EZ bed would have fit had we needed it. There was a comfortable chair, which was great. Breakfast was very good. We were advised not to drive but to take the bus. That was fine for going into Oxford, but not for going to Blenheim Palace as it took much longer and there was plenty of parking there.

Does what it says on the tin
Bit impersonal at first - no staff to greet, just note & a key - but improved after first breakfast. Bathroom facilities all new & clean & quite adequate. Meals satisfactory and beds comfortable but main road location means lots of traffic noise if using a front room..
