“Short Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

This was our final destination having done a tour of Brighton, Southampton, Isle of Wight and The New Forest. The Hotel was very clean, comfortable and we were actually able to park more or less outside the door and leave our car there for the 3 days. Breakfast was excellent and it's location was superb enabling us to nip back whenever we needed to. Very quiet with no noise to disturb a light sleeper. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Room Tip: We had a view of the sea but obviously had to go to the top floor to get it

“lovely B&B, friendly owner, excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I can highly recommend this B&B. It was probably one of the best B&Bs I stayed in in England.
The owner was very friendly, the room was absolutely spot-on. It had sea-view, was clean and cosy and very quiet at night.
The en-suite bathroom was also one of the cleanest and newest-looking I've seen in a B&B.
The B&Bs location was perfect for a walk to the town centre and the beach. It was no problem at all to park the car.
And all this for a very good price.

Thumbs up. I can highly recommended this place.

Room Tip: Room on the top floor with sea-view.

“Perfect location, beautiful house, friendly owners!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

We stayed at the Oxford House for one night at the end of October. I read reviews on Trip Advisor before we went and I wasn’t disappointed. We were greeted warmly by Robin who showed us to our room. The room was very clean, airy, modern and with a sea view. We had a very good night’s sleep due to a comfy bed and no noise! Nice hot shower in the morning too!
The Oxford House was very central and all the bars restaurants and shops were within walking distance.
Breakfast was probably the best I have had in a guest house, with a very helpful and friendly girl serving us. We had a lovely chat with Robin and his wife before we left and will definitely stay there again as we visit Swanage regularly.
Thoroughly recommend this place. Oxford House is one of the best and doesn’t have nearly enough praise on this website.
