Breakfast, pillows, great shower room, good hospitality tray, lovely courtyard

The site map is a bit misleading as to where the entrance for reception is, but that was a minor issue. If you are in chalet 4 it's easy to be disturbed by other guests going to the breakfast barn

Located with in easy walking distance of the town either on roads or along the river, Kingfisher Barn was convenient and comfortable. My needs were served and a good continental breakfast had.

Nothing not to like!

Lovely B&B, clean, comfortable, easy self check-in, great breakfast and location superb - 5 to 10 min stroll in to Abingdon.

Everything was great! If I had to be picky, the television is tiny (but that didn’t bother me) and while the room description listed a desk, there wasn’t one in the room. I managed just fine with a chair and the dresser.

The room was small but cosy with a comfortable bed. The location is lovely, just over the bridge from town and surrounded by lovely tranquil countryside. It’s close to restaurants and pubs and the self check-in is straightforward. Breakfast is basic (toast, pastries, cereal, boiled eggs) but tasty. It’s a great spot to stay!

The room is quite simple, no desk, but clean.

Breakfast was good for my taste. Oat meal and cereals with yoghurt and fresh fruit, boiled eggs offered, crispy croissants (with and without chocolat), toast, and good coffee from the French press (or tea if preferred). Fresh orange juice. The young lady taking care of the breakfast buffet was very friendly - and the only staff I encountered during my stay. Automatic check-in was anyway easy. Check-out just by closing the door, leaving the keys inside. The location could have been a little closer to Abingdon, but a 10-15 min walk gets one right to the Thames (beautiful!) and the city centre with pubs and restaurants. Could be an issue with bad weather and no car. Walk in the dark at night. In my case, it was very pleasant.

You need to be aware that the place is outside of Abingdon in the fields. The walk on the late evening from Abdingdon to the B&B was not so nice since you need to follow a totally unlightened small street.

Interesting and nice location in an old farmhouse. The short walk to Abingdon in the morning across the fields was very nice.

Breakfast was superb! Thanks to Kayla for wonderful service and the quality of food was topnotch. The courtyard garden is lovely - beautifully planted with tulips - birdsong everywhere

The only negative for us was the bed, which was really soft. We are used to a firm mattress, however, for other people it would be right for them.

Location excellent for Abingdon and surrounding areas. The accommodations is very good, very clean, and there was a good choice for the continental breakfast. Check in very easy, staff friendly.

Peaceful and away from Abingdon town. Self check in suited us fine.

It's quite a trek from the main road - it's advertised as a short walk from town - it should a good 1/4 mile walk from the outskirts of town (Abingdon) when I arrived in the twilight I was rushed by a dog from a cottage dweller not a problem for me , but for some one more vulnerable maybe? Breakfast a bit sparse perhaps don't expect a full English.

Very comfortable and clean

Although there was a good continental breakfast with lots of choice, no cooked breakfast was available. It felt slightly odd with a self-service check-in, and we didn't see any staff until breakfast the following morning. This wasn't a problem, just a little unexpected.

Quiet situation close to the river, about half a mile walk from the centre of Abingdon. Well equipped and very clean room. Very good continental breakfast.

I did find it a little chilly, and it was difficult to have timely contact with the owner to address this. It would have been nice to have had the option to have bought extra wood supplies from the owners rather than go out and buy it myself. I was glad I arrived in the daylight as I got muddled with the instructions, and it would’ve been helpful and a nice personal touch to have had an introductory pack to the cottage . Nevertheless, the Owner was extremely helpful when contacted.

The location was excellent, it was very clean and comfortable and it was lovely to have a Christmas tree which made the place cosy too .

Finding way around in dark was not all that easy needed more security light /sensors and signage from car park to reception/ self checkin in dark area no ambient light very hard to orient.

Efficient

All good

This property was great and clean

Nobody was at reception greeting us. Thought we would meet the owners next morning for breakfast. Only one same staff for breakfast and cleaning rooms..

Lovely breakfast, lovely place. Clean

nothing to add, no issues

Ideal, clean and comfortable room and stay. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Ideally places for Abingdon. Quite country setting. Easy parking. No complaints. Thank you for a lovely stay

Only downsides for me were that the outside areas aren't lit that well at night if you need to pop out to the car. Also, the door lock was old and a bit fiddly - not brilliant security! (If you're arriving/leaving on foot, definitely bring a torch; the long-ish lane to the main road and pub isn't lit at all.)

Stayed just the one night after a day visiting Blenheim and before a concert the next day in Oxford. Easy to find, nice room and bathroom, the unit was well heated, spotlessly clean and very pleasant. With plenty of towels, a hand soap, shower gel, shampoo etc dispensers and useful small TV, there's a kettle and sachets of coffee, hot chocolate & milks, plenty of tea bags and a biscoff biscuit each, all set out on a tray. Open clothes rail recessed in wall was very convenient, beds are quite comfy and there's plenty of electric sockets via the extension lead on the floor behind a bedside cabinet, also an information wallet. There's a shared kitchen (like a hostel set up) barely 20 steps away which is very useful if arriving late evening like we did. Like the accommodation, this is also modern, clean and well set up and includes an eating area with cafe tables and chairs. Spacious to cook in, it was well equipped with an electric oven, separate grill oven and a four ring hob, a fridge, toaster, crockery, pots and utensils etc. This is where you'll find and cook your own breakfast and wash up. There are clean tea towels, washing up liquid, kitchen paper and one scouring pad too. It was like home from home. For breakfast there was plenty of breads, bagels, butter, eggs, cereals, milk, fresh strawberries, blackberries, plain yoghurt, pots of instant oats and lots of spreads...Nutella, marmite, honey, jams etc. Teas and coffee are all right there also to help yourself to. We cooked and thoroughly enjoyed scrambled eggs on toast, fresh berries with yoghurt. (I wish I'd bought with us some bacon and mushrooms - doh!) There's a beautiful courtyard with some tables and chairs to enjoy if you've time and weather permits...very pretty. In fact, everywhere is perfectly maintained and the accommodation was in a great location for our needs. The staff that we bumped into in the morning are lovely, friendly and welcoming.

Some rooms do not have a full desk + chair setup, so it is in some cases not ideal for working.

A really cosy location close to Abingdon but tucked away feeling like the countryside. The rooms are comfy, bathrooms are nice, with lots of character.

Breakfast was simple, but nice. The breakfast room lacked atmosphere but it is winter and I can absolutely see how in summer the whole place would be alive.

The rooms were a nice size, nice and clean and functional.

Having the breakfast room available in the evening until 9pm was very handy to get together with the other friends booked in. There was basic crockery and space to have snacks and a drink. One review wisely suggested to bring a torch as the final stretch of entrance driveway is dark at night if walking back from town centre. We brought one and were delighted. Very warm and pleasant.

The single bed wasn't very comfortable but the room was superb and well thought out, very cosy

Lovely welcome from staff , superb selection for breakfast and quite peaceful start to the morning ;-)

The twin beds were very hard so not very comfortable. they ran out of the lovely croissants on the last day. there is no light on the path from the main road to the Barns which maybe needs addressing.

Lovely warm room .Shower was hot and powerful. Breakfast was good with lots of choices and tastes catered for .Eaxamples of this were oat milk and sour dough bread..

No negatives

Loved the location lovely and clean best bit toasty warm

The breakfast was only continental, I was on the understanding it would be a full English breakfast, very disappointed.

The room we had was very good and clean and comfortable.
