Kingfisher Barn

We had a twin room, which was within a courtyard, on B&B basis. The room was a good size and had a microwave, small fridge, iron, ironing board and hairdryer. The ensuite was also a good size with a powerful shower within a cubicle. The beds were very clean and comfortable and had 2 pillows on each! Breakfast can be brought to your room or eaten in the breakfast cabin. You are asked at booking in what you would like for breakfast and an approx time you would like it. We walked in and were greeted by a very cheerful lady who then asked what room we were and went through our choices. We were told to help ourselves to the great choice of cereals, toast, jam, marmalade, juices etc. Breakfast was cooked to order and served piping hot after we had finished with cereals. One of us had the continental breakfast which could only have been improved by the croissant being warm rather than cold! There is a lovely indoor heated pool that you get sole use of, be warned it does get booked up very quickly so it is a good idea to reserve a time slot when you book! There is also a hoist for disabled people to be able to use the pool! All in all a very nice place to stay!

I was very impressed with the prompt communication I received beforehand. When I arrived it was a beautiful day so the courtyard garden was lovely to sit in. (Yes more chairs are needed- at least two per room). Easy to check in with plenty of parking, and the room was welcoming with little touches such as hot chocolate. Towels were clean and lotions provided. I did notice mould on the bathroom floor. I found out why the next morning as the shower cubicle is not sealed sufficiently. Nevertheless the shower itself was good and the wi fi was excellent. The TV adequate but I wasn't there to watch TV. I did find the room stuffy so perhaps some air conditioning units are necessary. I didn't want to leave the window open as it was at ground level so I didn't feel secure at night with it open. Breakfast was ok, I appreciated the warm croissants and it was nice taking fruit and porridge back to my room. The site has big notices showing you where your room is. All the accommodation in the area is expensive so I didn't think their price was excessive although of course it would build up if you stayed for a while. And then there is the lane to walk down for any facilities , but it is in the countryside!

Beautiful location . Lovely walks to Abingdon. Breakfast great. A hidden gem. The staff especially Millie the manager, were so kind. Local restaurants all within walking distance. They are opening more accommodation soon . I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you.
