We needed to stay in Abingdon to visit a relative in hospital. This was an ideal place to stay. It was a lovely setting, a beautiful walk into town, and within easy reach of cafes and facilities.

The room was good for us, and the breakfast cabin was excellent. Very friendly and helpful service

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!

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 -

A hidden gem

I was met by Millie who gave me a briefing of the place. She's a very nice person who also had a great dog who was lovely.

Location of the barn is secluded and very private. The rooms are well equipped and decorated to a high standard.

Just on the outskirts of a small village which was handy for supplies.

Definitely staying again.

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

Will be great if you get good neighbours!

We chose Kingfisher Barn because we were visiting our daughter in Oxford and wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful, away from the city. It's in a lovely situation with beautiful gardens. Unfortunately, the couple in the next room completely ruined the experience for us, crashing back into their room in the early hours obviously very much the worse for wear and one of them being continually \"ill\" as a result in the bathroom for most of the night. Obviously, this is no fault whatsoever of the B&B but I have to say that the walls between the rooms are very poor at blocking out noise and it was (unfortunately) like we were in their bathroom with him. The room itself was comfortable and very clean although the shower could definitely do with a re-grout, being somewhat black in places and the main door handle is about to fall off. Breakfast was very good with vegan options and the one member of staff we met was very friendly. We were obviously very unlucky but the lack of soundproofing between the rooms is an issue and we won't be back. We overheard a conversation from another guest on the other side of these people and it seems they too had an awful night.
