Lovely little place within easy walking distance of Abingdon. The accommodation was simple, but perfectly suitable. Sadly, we only stayed for one night as it would have been great for longer.

Peaceful, gorgeous location

Such an idealic spot with walks for the dog into town taking just 10 minutes where there is an abundance if shops, takeaways and pubs located on the Thames. Gorgeous, can rate it highly enough and thank you Millie for your very kind hospitality arranging breakfast around our schedules

Quiet location but close to the town

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.

Cute, warm and exceptionally clean room with a cozy warm bathroom. A nice comfy bed and lovely morning breakfast of fresh fruit, cereals, and breads. Whilst visiting our son in town, we touch a chance and booked one night at Kingfisher Barn and it won’t be our last!

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

One night stay in Abingdon UK

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 -

Mike

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

Stunning location in the countryside!

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!

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.

Excellent stay for Abingdon and Oxford

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.
