Sutton Courtenay Apartments

Really kind and friendly host. The room is comfortable. Good WiFi. Very nice quiet village close to the river Thames (to the Thames path as well). I’d like to come back here again if I have another chance. Thank you so much, Hana and Mel.

Perfect apartment for a couple! All rooms (bedroom, kitchen and bathroom) were clean. Carol was a very friendly and helpful guest, although you shouldn't expect too much contact, since the apartment ist separated from the rest of the house. There is fast and stable internet - yay :). Is there room for improvement? Yes: More and better cutlery, especially (sharp) knives - it's hard to cook without them. Perhaps you bring some of your own stuff if you plan on cooking more than just once or twice.

Personally, I would not stay here again. It was much further than anticipated from Oxford (which is admittedly probably mostly my fault), but was also just kind of awkward being A. within someone's home and B. not actually in their home, interacting. I never saw Carol or her Husband, but they were both very nice to me both via mail and on the phone. While I would not personally stay there again (I ended up just leaving after two days out of my five day booking and eating the cost loss), I can solidly confirm that they are sane, nice, clean people with a clean place and warm room to keep a guest. If you're looking to have a roof over your head, this is it.

Stayed for a short visit while working at the nearby science park. I had a nice walk to work every morning (about 30-40 min walk) the self contained apartment was perfect for my stay it had everything I needed and it was a peaceful and cosy.

Carol thank you for the warm welcome and support in our research! The apartment was very comfortable and very quiet! I definitely recommend and come back, Carol!

The apartment was as advertised and Carol was a friendly host. I was never disturbed during my stay and it was very easy for me to just knock Carol's door if I ever needed anything. The internet was great, and the shower was good. A word of warning about the shower, it has a very small tolerance between hot and cold, so be careful about adjusting it during your shower! The kitchen was fine for me as I mostly make stir fry's, there is a combined grill/oven/microwave that I never tried using but I suspect it would be possible to get quite creative and make some nice meals. It was well stocked with utensils and the few extra things I needed, I simply asked the host and they brought them round from the main house within minutes. If you are a light sleeper I'd recommend bringing some ear plugs as the small fridge in the apartment can be quite loud. The curtains were good and it was possible to get the bedroom quite dark, so light shouldn't be an issue. Overall, I was happy with my stay.

Keith was the perfect host and the room was very comfortable. I will definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises. Abingdon is a charming town with plenty of good places to eat and drink.

A lovely home in a very peaceful location and the room was just as beautiful as it looks in the photo! The experience has been very nice: very clean house, with a very comfortable bed and lots of extras in the room (like tea, coffee, bottle of water, etc). The bathroom was also very clean and with lots of free toiletries to use. Keith and Lynn were very kind and helpful hosts! They were very flexible and respectful about the time we arrived at the house. They even went to look for use late in the evening when (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps let us down! Overall it has been a great experience i would recommend to anyone. Thanks Keith and Lynn!

Most accommodating. Good communicators. Very friendly. Couldn't fault this host. Lovely room & sole use of bathroom. Well equipped kitchen for use when preparing our breakfast. Good car parking facilities, easy to find.

Accommodation was very much as described and of a very high standard. Keith and Lynn were very welcoming hosts and I would recommend this as a place to stay.

A great and immaculately presented flat in a very good location. Recommended.

Keith and Lynn made me feel very welcome in this two level property in the Old Brewery development in central Abingdon. The place was exceptionally clean. Having full use of the well equipped kitchen was particularly good for me as I wanted to do some cooking. Would definitely recommend.

This is really just with Airbnb is all about. Comfy bed, great shower, and great hosts. Keith and Lynn are terrific, and they are happy to share all they know about the area. This was my second time staying with them. I highly recommend this place.

We were made very welcome. Keith sent very accurate directions so absolutely no problems getting there. Very quiet lovely apartment.

Stella was very flexible with the check-in and check-out time. She especially went out to get coffee, tea and fresh flowers for my arrival. Since my trip was mainly for business, I was quite busy and did not interact much with my host. We communicated by email and Stella provided me with recommendations on local and airport transportation and places to eat. The flat is located from the center of town and convenient to everything, buses, restaurant, grocery store. I can easily walk to the Thames and my company at the Abingdon Science Park. Despite its location with lots of traffic outside, there are double layers of windows so it is very quiet. The neighbors are also very quiet. The flat is bright and furnished with Ikea furniture. There is plenty of room to move around. It has a bookcase stocked with a large number of fiction and non-fiction books, and local guides, as well as some CDs and DVDs. There is a radio, CD player, DVD player and a small flat screen TV. There are also board games, as well as a two full binders of guides and brochures of local attractions. The kitchen has all necessary utensils for cooking and eating. There is a fridge, stove, microwave, large toaster, hot water pot, and even a French press coffee maker. There are two comfortable single beds and a folding bed. Linens and towels are provided. There is also a washing machine, iron and ironing board available. The internet was fast and reliable. There is no telephone but I mainly (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)d from my computer. I will very likely stay here again the next time I come back to Abingdon. It is much more comfortable, and just as convenient as staying in a hotel. For people on holidays, it could be a very nice home base for trips to Oxford and walking and bicycling along the Thames.

My stay at Stella's flat was wonderful. Before arrival Stella was very helpful (giving me detailed directions of how to get to her flat) and replied quickly to my messages. When I arrived Stella was waiting for me at the flat, gave me a tour, explained where everything was and asked if I had any questions or anything she could help me with. She left me 2 sets of keys and wished me a pleasant stay. The flat was very big, clean and comfy. The open plan living room/kitchen was lovely, with everything you need. The bedroom was spacious, with twin beds (which can be made into a double). Both the bedroom and the living room are overlooking the beautiful town square and the Abingdon Museum. Fresh towels and shampoo/shower gel were provided. The flat is close to the Abingdon high street with numerous restaurants, bars and cafes. There is also a big Waitrose 5 min walk away where you could buy anything you need. The bus stop coming and going into Oxford (X3, X13) is only like 1 min away. Very convenient. I would highly recommend Stella's flat.

Stella's Little House was lovely. It comprised of a large kitchen, fully equipped with a superior oven, hotplate, microwave and dishwasher. There was an automatic washing machine but no dryer. There was a small toilet adjacent to the kitchen and very spacious living room, with floor to ceiling folding glass doors opening onto a spacious patio with outdoor furniture which overlooked a very pretty garden. A beautiful setting. Upstairs, a small single bedroom, a large double bedroom (with comfy bed) and large bathroom. Stella was the perfect hostess giving us a lot of information about buses and things to see, even gave us a written information sheet about what to see in the countryside. Our stay was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. Would have liked to stay longer.

Lovely flat - spacious and airy. Great location - convenient and safe. Stella was extremely helpful and flexible on our arrival and made us feel very welcome. The only downside for us was there wasn't a double bed (the two twins were put together instead)

The flat is wonderful and bigger than we expected, in the heart of Abingdon. For 48 hours we could forget about our car. Stella is a very nice lady, and we are definitely happy about the weekend.

Centrally located flat.

A great apartment and a wonderful location. All of the rooms, fittings and furniture worked perfectly. Stella and Howard were perfect the perfect landlords! Friendly, hospitable and helpful. I will be returning to Abingdon over the next 12 months and can only hope that the apartment will be available for me.

A lovely apartment in a great location overlooking the square in Abingdon. Generally comfortable although the bed would definitely benefit from new mattresses!

Amazing space. Fantastic host, would definitely stay again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. It was very clean, very private and very relaxing. The host was lovely and made me feel very welcome. I highly recommend staying here.

Completely self-sufficient with own dining table and everything I needed to have a comfortable stay.

We were made to feel very welcome and it was nice talking to Jules and Dave throughout our. The annex is very well set out and spacious. We really enjoyed the welcome bits and bobs and the weekly cleaner was amazing. The location is great with really good local amenities.

Stayed at the garden apartment for the second time and it was once again a lovely stay. Thanks guys.

Jules and Dave were great hosts and very helpful. We felt very welcomed and would definataly recommend staying there.

I was looking for a place to stay for a few days which is comfortable, private, quiet and clean and this flat meets all these criteria. Jules and Dave are a friendly couple and can give you advice if you require it or give you the privacy if that's what you want. I would return again if I need to come to this area.

The apartment is nice and mostly quiet. Clean. Good location (10 minutes walk from the train station and bus). 50 min from London with a direct train. If we can get to reading in 10 min train or Bath (Roman city) in 1 hour and train. Near restaurants and shops. Our hosts were welcoming and just off in case of need. We will return.

The place is very quite, clean and has everything you need even for a long stay. I can say I felt like home. There is a short walk to the train station, and everything you might need is within walking distance. Dave and Jules were very helpful and eager to make sure everything was OK for me.

I enjoyed my stay. The accommodation was ideal in terms of location. I would stay again in the future. Local amenities are excellent i.e. takeaway, food shops, Pub etc all within very close location of the accommodation.

This was our first experience with airbnb and it was a wonderful experience. Plenty of room for my son and I. Heaters kept the place warm and it is really close to the Didcot train station -15min walk. Dave picked us up and dropped us off at the train station which helped us with our bags. They even provided food items - milk,cereal,bread,butter in additon to coffee and tea. We used this place for visits to Oxford (15min train), Stratford (2hr train) and even to Cardiff for the Dr Who Experience (2hr train). Would stay again.

Graham and his wife where great hosts. A great place to stay and offered advice of what to do. Perfect place for a nice break away from the city.

the studio was clean and comfortable. besides that it was well complete. Graham and Cherry are good and nice hosts. The only thing was that the wifi didn't work so well during the evening.

We had a lovely stay overnight and found our accomodation perfect for our needs, very comfortable and well situated in the village. We had an excellent curry down the road and were grateful for our DIY breakfast the next morning. Graham was very friendly and helpful and was a good host for us.

Very pleasant stay and host was very welcoming!

As expected from other reviews and description. Very nice :-)

Such a lovely place, that was very clean, comfortable and spacious! Graham is a lovely, interesting man, who makes you feel instantly comfortable in his presence. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd love to stay here again!

We were made to feel very welcome. The apartment was brand new and tastefully decorated with a fantastic shower! The location is sublime. I appreciated the small touches like fresh cut flowers and fresh coffee! Apart from staying on one of the hottest nights of the year we had a comfortable stay. Thank you for having us.

The studio was perfect for our one night stay with our two week old baby. Cherry and Graham welcomed us and made us feel at home, and we really appreciated them accommodating our early check in requirement.

Staying at Alex's felt like staying at a really hospitable friend's house. It was cosy and comfortable . It's not flash and slick , but that's not a criticism. It has absolutely everything that we needed . Alex's list of instructions was really comprehensive and clear. Supplies were left for us , and we felt that we were welcome to use treat Alex's like home. It is really well situated , a reasonable walk into the surprisingly delightful Abingdon. And it's so close to Oxford. The separate bathroom and 2 toilets , the small enclosed balcony with hooks to string up our elastic clothesline all contributed to a relaxed stay.

Perfect stay, thanks Alex

Good location, easy parking and very spacious apartment! A lovely stay for the family and spending a couple of days in oxford! Alex made it very easy for us to have a comfortable stay and the advice and directions was spot on.

Comfortable, Quiet with on street parking. Warm in the winter, Netflix and a PlayStation 3 for teenage entertainment. Big bedrooms with two toilets and a separate bath with powerful hot shower. Great for our family visit to Abingdon relatives. Tesco Express two minutes walk is very handy! 15 minute walk or £5 taxi to centre of Abingdon. Thank you Alex for being patient with us when our arrival time was delayed.

Nice and clean flat, just like a home away from home. Will be using again if available thanks

Great flat, thanks for all your help and advice. Would recommend!

Arriving hours very flexibles because we arrive very late. Alex responds all our calls to find the keys. Confortable appartment but it should not be riding on hygiene.. It's too bad.

The flat was perfect, much more better than on the pictures. We really enjoyed the stay there. There were everything what we needed.

Kieran was a great host, the room was in perfect condition and very well equipped. The location is also good, within walking distance from the station and town centre. I would definitely stay here again.

Kieren was the ideal host, and I had an excellent stay for the 3 days I had to spend in Didcot. He was very easy to communicate with prior to my arrival, and when I got there I was welcomed warmly and shown the best-equipped room I think I had ever stayed in. You have your own front door, and Kieren has put together a very good instruction book. Everything was really clean, new and worked and included much more than you would normally expect, such as iron and ironing board, milk in the fridge, a really well-equipped kitchenette, even notebooks and pencils The area is quiet and (for me) ideally situated a short walk from the station (my trips to Paddington took only about 40 mins), and very close to the main street shopping and eating places. One day I needed to hire a car, and there was ample off-road parking on their drive. Altogether, this was exactly what I needed during a very busy 3 days, and I would definitely chose the same place again.

Miranda and her husband made me and my parents feel very welcome. The Nook was a lovely place to stay, it is compact but has everything you need. The location is perfect for visiting Oxford and the surrounding area and the provision of tea/coffee and breakfast is a lovely touch.

We arrived late at night at The Nook but Miranda's smiling face was there to welcome us. It was lovely to have a warm clean cosy little place for us to relax into after our long drive from Cornwall that day. We didn't get to see much of the surrounding area as we arrived when it was dark and had to leave early to get to Heathrow to fly back to Australia the next day. What we did see seemed to be very quiet and peaceful. Miranda's little place had a wonderful shower, lovely beds and a kitchen with everything you needed as well as breakfast items. As it was so nice, we would have liked to stay and enjoy The Nook for more than just one night. Thank you Miranda!

Miranda was very helpful and wanted to ensure that we had all we needed to make our stay comfortable. Even though we arrived in very cold temperatures, the accommodation was warm and cosy. It was well situated for accessing the places where my husband was working and yet, was in a quiet, peaceful country location.

Miranda was concerned that we did not lack anything during the stay at home. The housing attached to his apartment has all the necessary services for both short stay and long. The setting is spectacular, for those seeking distance to urban centers, this will be a good choice. In short, the stay was very positive, if I have to go back near the area, no doubt I will return to The NooK.

Had a great stay. House had everything I needed and was very clean and tidy.

Miranda was really welcoming, making us feel at home straight away. The Nook is just perfect for getting away from it all. Oxford is only a stones throw away with the park and ride really easy to find and use. The little things, like milk in the fridge and breakfast stuff being provided was a great bonus. Great shower and comfy bed made for a well neede break away from it all for a weekend, we loved it.

We had a lovely stay in the wonderful and cosy Nook! It has everything you need and was perfect for a weekend away in the countryside. Miranda was very attentive, friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend it!

Wonderful place to stay, great hosts, and the extra mile with extras in the place: food, coffee, tea, toothpaste. A very nice stay: highly recommended for the area.

A beautiful, bright and very comfortable apartment, in a very quiet location on a private road. Oxford is walkable if you're in the mood and have a couple of hours, otherwise it's a five-minute drive to the park-and-ride. Has everything that you could need for a relaxing stay. Lorraine made everything very easy and we will definitely look forward to returning soon.

Very nice place, good location for the city and was incredibly easy to communicate with the host

Lorraine was the perfect host. Her place is lovely and in a beautiful location, which is just a short drive from Oxford. Lorraine went above and beyond to provide us with everything that we needed, even including a box of treats for breakfast!! (I wish every airbnb did this!) Heated bathroom floor was also a stand out highlight. Thoroughly recommend that you consider Lorraine for your next trip to Oxford, I hope that we can visit again

We had a lovely stay in Lorraines annexe. Lorraine was there to greet us upon our arrival and made us feel very welcome. The annexe is lovely with nice natural lighting and was nice and cosy. Lorraine is an excellent host and we would happily stay in her annexe again.

The loft is much more spacious than it appears in the photos. It had everything we needed and Lorraine made us feel comfortable and at home. It was easy to get the park and ride to Oxford and there were some great pubs to enjoy dining at nearby. I wish we could have stayed longer. I would totally recommend the loft. Lorraine is an awesome host.

I never met Lorraine, but my mum did the check in with her and said she was absolutely lovely! When I arrived I immediately noticed how spotless and beautiful the flat was. The duvets were the most comfortable I have ever slept on, and the towels were very large and fluffy. We appreciated how much effort was put into making the place look lovely. I have stayed in numerous airbnb's and have never had such a complete breakfast left for us , it was so helpful when getting up early! We absolutely loved this property and should I find myself in Oxford, would love to stay again!

Nice friendly and helpful welcome. Breakfast was also provided which I did not expect.

The modern house is located in a very quiet neighborhood in the forest. It's a little bit hard to find. Our room is warm and with heater. Host is easy to get in touch. We really enjoy our stay here! Recommended.

Michael could not have been more helpful, hospitable, thoughtful and generous in welcoming a group of four travel weery guests from Australia. The Cottage apartment had all that one might require for a short or long stay. The kitchen was very well fitted out and stocked - all necessary essentials such as milk, butter, bread AND wine supplied. Comfortable and quiet, with a good pub and landlord in the village for a final night's pint and village conversation. Striking distance of many good places to visit in Oxford, Abingdon, Newbury and the lovely Chilterns and countryside.

The apartment is very cosy and well equipped. I particularly liked the location, in a quiet and country like neighbourhood. We will definitely repeat our stay at Churchill House, as it is almost the perfect home at Chilton while working at RAL! It is nice to have a welcome basket when arriving late in the evening.

Mike is a great host. He was there when we arrived ( to early) no problem with staying a bit longer as we flew back to holland in the evening Nice to find some basic needs in the kitchen , bread , butter, thee ,coffee, milk etc. Great beds spacy rooms. Nice vintage house. Wifi was good. Easy new excess to the highway to go to Oxford where we visited our son at Christchurch. Little over an hour from Stonehenge and Blenheim Palace is even closer. We would recommend it to anyone who needs some quiet place to go back to in the evening near Oxford.(20 min). When we have a chance to visit our son again we would certainly come back to Mike.

Michael is a wonderful host. He welcomed us warmly, promptly showing how everything in the house works. The apartment is spacious, warm and comfy. Wi-fi works fine, heating is ecologic but quite effective, the stove and oven are perfectly adequate. Chilton is a lovely typical english village. We did not have much chance to explore the surroundings but it seems to be filled with soft grass, inviting woodlands and agricultural fields. The local pub is adorable and friendly, filled with good beer and amusing locals. The only downside of staying at Chilton is that the nearest shop is 30 min away (walking distance) and only has the bare minimmum supplies. Thus, if you plan to cook at home, the best option is to either have a car or ride the bus to Abingdon (nearest location with big supermarkets). For those visiting RAL, the Harwell Campus is quite close to Chilton House (20-30 min walk, quite nice when not raining). There is also a bus stop a few metres from the house and some buses will drop you off in front of the campus entrance. In short, we absolutely recommend Chilton House and would love to stay there again in a future visit to RAL.

Vrery quiet place to be, close to Oxford and Newbury; within a nice part of England Let's go for a place to go

The host canceled this reservation 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great little place to just chill out after work. We used the apartment as a base for work nearby. Perfect with having the A34 nearby. It had everything we needed for our stay. Very comfortable and cosy place.

Unfortunately i did not get known to Miacheal, but i would be glad i had! My colleagues that spend 2 weeks in his apartment told me he was a fantastic host, friendly, generous and very politely to them. They apreciate their stay there very much! Thank you Michael, you are amazing! Cheers Günther
