OYO Lonsdale Guest House

Staff was very friendly and the room was clean, however the condition was poor with worn furniture that had seen its best days. The single room I booked was advertised with a private bathroom (not en-suite), however it was used by other guests in the house as well. Some of the few sockets in the room did not work.

Friendly people. In an excellent location

Convenient location, ideal for short-stay, however mattress could do with topper for comfort. Good value for money.

A lovely family-run guest house. Everything about the property is fantastic. They are helpful and kind. You can walk downtown or cross the street and take the bus, which passes every 10 minutes. There are shops, restaurants, and supermarkets close by. The room was clean and cosy.

We were traveling by car and struggled to find the place as there are no visible signs showing Lonsdale Guest House on the roadside. We found the place from the address, but there was noone there. We eventually found a sign at the door asking guests to call or visit the guest house two houses next and finally shown to our room on the second floor. The room was modest but seemed to be equipped with all basic facilities. But the kettle was full of scale, and even after washing, the coffee did not taste good at all. Breakfast was served at the guest house where the staff were. The staff on duty the next day were different from the staff on the first day, which made things complicated as I had been made to pay the accommodation fee twice and seeking a refund (which I finally got). Other than juice, fruit and cereals you help yourselves to, the breakfast was limited to eggs and toast. Although the bus service to Oxford is quite good and there are restaurants and shops around the area, I felt the accommodation fee I paid quite expensive compared to the room and services.

Very clean, parking straight outside, close proximity to the city centre with a few essential shops and small cafes less than a minute away. Would recommend.
