What guests think
Kingfisher Barn offers a quiet, rural setting within walking distance of Abingdon, with scenic walks and gardens, easy access to buses for Oxford, and convenient free parking, though the approach road is unlit after dark.
Guests describe clean, comfortable rooms that are simple in style, with occasional maintenance niggles like leaky taps, small TVs or intermittent heating. Staff are frequently praised as friendly and helpful, and self check in is straightforward. Breakfast is a continental buffet enjoyed by many, with fresh pastries and options, but several guests wished for cooked items. Expect a peaceful, no frills stay close to town.

Comfortable room which opened up to a patio and well kept colourful garden. Staff helpful and friendly. Weather was sunny so we were able to have breakfast in the garden. Breakfast was excellent. Easy walking to Abingdon and buses every ten minutes to Oxford.

Room was adequate without being palatial - TV was far too small for the size of the room - no racks for suitcases - TV remote didn’t work properly - Hot tap in bathroom needs a new washer - continuously leaked and obviously needed replacing for some time - could not get towel warmer to work - Property was well presented otherwise and quite comfortable - very quiet location Included breakfast was good and certainly accounted for our needs - included parking always a bonus in UK - a little work would make this venue a first class stay - quite close to town -

We are visiting from Australia and this place is absolutely awesome! Amazing location yet within walking distance to pubs / restaurants and town centre. Incredibly quiet being in a country setting and lots of opportunities for walks by the river. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we were able to have breakfast outside in the lovely garden. We felt well looked after. Highly recommend!

We chose Kingfisher Barn because we were visiting our daughter in Oxford and wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful, away from the city. It's in a lovely situation with beautiful gardens. Unfortunately, the couple in the next room completely ruined the experience for us, crashing back into their room in the early hours obviously very much the worse for wear and one of them being continually "ill" as a result in the bathroom for most of the night. Obviously, this is no fault whatsoever of the B&B but I have to say that the walls between the rooms are very poor at blocking out noise and it was (unfortunately) like we were in their bathroom with him. The room itself was comfortable and very clean although the shower could definitely do with a re-grout, being somewhat black in places and the main door handle is about to fall off. Breakfast was very good with vegan options and the one member of staff we met was very friendly. We were obviously very unlucky but the lack of soundproofing between the rooms is an issue and we won't be back. We overheard a conversation from another guest on the other side of these people and it seems they too had an awful night.

Absolutely terrible experience. Building is actually old stables converted to small rooms. Very basic but this is not the issue. The issue was the smell in the room, very strong chemical odour. Dead insects are indicating it was some sort of insecticide. It was so strong that I've got headache, heartburn and it's triggered asthma so requested solution. I've been shown another room but it was actually worse. After 30 mins I called reception but they havent answer or returned call. Contacted Expedia same result they couldn't get hold of them. I left the property after just over an hour unable to air out chemical smell or speak to anyone to resolve the issue despite owner seen me through the massive window leaving. I had to book another hotel nearby to sleep. I wouldn't be upset about it if owner would speak to me and try to find solution but instead I've been ignored what is not great when owner ignores health concern of the guest.

Self-check-in without issues. The shower in my bathroom was broken, I was moved to a different room with a functional shower in the bathroom. Room and bathroom clean. The room heating was intermittent, at times a bit chilly in the evening. The breakfast was fine, but rather spartan. None of the breakfast items stereotypical for the UK: no baked beans, no sausage. Also no cheese, no bacon, no salami, no tomatoes, no cucumber. Friendly and helpful staff though.

I was met by Millie who gave me a briefing of the place. She's a very nice person who also had a great dog who was lovely. Location of the barn is secluded and very private. The rooms are well equipped and decorated to a high standard. Just on the outskirts of a small village which was handy for supplies. Definitely staying again.

I absolutely loved staying here and the location was beautiful! Check in was super easy and fuss free. My room was very clean and cosy. Loved that they had oat milk sachets on the tea tray along with normal milk. I would definitely stay here again! Only con is that the road leading to the property has no street lights so I wouldn't recommend going out when it's dark, even though it's only an 8 min walk into town

Room was adequate without being palatial - TV was far too small for the size of the room - no racks for suitcases - TV remote didn’t work properly - Hot tap in bathroom needs a new washer - continuously leaked and obviously needed replacing for some time - could not get towel warmer to work - Property was well presented otherwise and quite comfortable - very quiet location Included breakfast was good and certainly accounted for our needs - included parking always a bonus in UK - a little work would make this venue a first class stay - quite close to town -

We are visiting from Australia and this place is absolutely awesome! Amazing location yet within walking distance to pubs / restaurants and town centre. Incredibly quiet being in a country setting and lots of opportunities for walks by the river. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we were able to have breakfast outside in the lovely garden. We felt well looked after. Highly recommend!

Quiet, Clean and local to Abingdon town centre. Breakfast is continental style. We walked into the town which was only a short walk down an unlit but narrow tarmac dead end road.

Comfortable room which opened up to a patio and well kept colourful garden. Staff helpful and friendly. Weather was sunny so we were able to have breakfast in the garden. Breakfast was excellent. Easy walking to Abingdon and buses every ten minutes to Oxford.

Just stayed for the one night for an event in Oxford the next day. The room was nice and clean and the breakfast was available from 7 am. Plenty to choose from apart from no cooked breakfast.

We chose Kingfisher Barn because we were visiting our daughter in Oxford and wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful, away from the city. It's in a lovely situation with beautiful gardens. Unfortunately, the couple in the next room completely ruined the experience for us, crashing back into their room in the early hours obviously very much the worse for wear and one of them being continually "ill" as a result in the bathroom for most of the night. Obviously, this is no fault whatsoever of the B&B but I have to say that the walls between the rooms are very poor at blocking out noise and it was (unfortunately) like we were in their bathroom with him. The room itself was comfortable and very clean although the shower could definitely do with a re-grout, being somewhat black in places and the main door handle is about to fall off. Breakfast was very good with vegan options and the one member of staff we met was very friendly. We were obviously very unlucky but the lack of soundproofing between the rooms is an issue and we won't be back. We overheard a conversation from another guest on the other side of these people and it seems they too had an awful night.

Self-check-in without issues. The shower in my bathroom was broken, I was moved to a different room with a functional shower in the bathroom. Room and bathroom clean. The room heating was intermittent, at times a bit chilly in the evening. The breakfast was fine, but rather spartan. None of the breakfast items stereotypical for the UK: no baked beans, no sausage. Also no cheese, no bacon, no salami, no tomatoes, no cucumber. Friendly and helpful staff though.
