Corncroft Guest House

Witney

We were informed (several days after booking) that there would be no breakfast available at all. To be honest, even though the breakfast chefs are entitled to time off surely it is not impossible to provide a simple continental style breakfast. We also were not informed that there would be no housekeeping at all (even for a several day stay), or that the toilet cistern was broken or how/when to hand the key back....
So overall not a good experience and very poor value for money. If you wanted some time off between Christmas and New Year then that's fine.... just don't open, but if you are going to open then you need to provide a basic level of service.
So perhaps we should have rung 101 which they reliably informed us was the number for the NHS, which is of course is the non emergency police number! (The NHS being 111).
The rooms are tired and the whole place seems run down and in need of serious attention.

Either decide to shut or open properly....

Positives - A good location (bus stop right outside, short walk to market square/town centre), with the owner happy to accommodate a slightly later check-in of between 8-9pm as we were travelling several hours to get to the property.

Negatives - Overall disappointing compared to the online reviews. Some specific points:
- Very old and battered leather chair in room, so much so that it actually detracted from the room itself.
- Room servicing poor. Main issue was that tiny bottles of shower gel and soap were not refilled, which made having a shower when we got in late very difficult. Bed not made, cobweb on ceiling, etc.
- Room itself needed love and attention (i.e. wallpaper on ceiling beginning to split, etc).
- Breakfast. Cooked breakfast was fine, but the other items consisted of croissants in plastic packaging, breakfast bars, etc. Room not cosy at all (overhead light, large tv on, etc). More attention needs to be paid to what guests would like - menus might help?
All in all, not a cosy B&B-style guesthouse, which is perhaps what we had envisaged from the online description and available pictures. Instead felt quite like a small hotel - and one that needed some attention at that. Not 4* material.
Also note, the whole property has been converted to guest rooms, meaning that you may get a room on the ground floor - meaning that you have to keep the shutters closed (and therefore no natural light) to maintain any privacy.

Ok, but rather disappointing - not 4* material

Well worth its 4 star rating. The host was extremely friendly and helpful.  Lovely shower. And to top it all you are just across the road from one of Witney's nicest pubs the Three Horseshoes.  Would definitely return 

A little find

Great little place that presented very well in all areas. We were warmly greeted (even though we were very late arriving)and check in was done promptly and efficiently. Guest House in well located and within easy walking distance of town centre, shops and a great local pub. Room was very clean and well appointed although a little on the small size. Tea /Coffee making facilities were available in our room. Ensuite, also smallish, was spotless and well maintained. An excellent breakfast was offered. Good home cooking with plenty of options available. Only street parking available which made things a little tricky with heavy suitcases etc. Would definitely recommend Corncroft Guest House if travelling to Whitney.

Well presented and maintained Guest House

The place is very easy to get to. The owner was very friendly and was there when we checked in.
Comfortable bed and room big enough. Staff very courteous, excellent service at breakfast. The stay, although only one night, was pleasant.
Although it is understandable, given that the building is not modern, I don't particularly like the carpeting everywhere. The bathroom is in keeping with the age of the building, I found it a little difficult that there is no mixer tap on the basin but two separate taps with hot and cold water (although in the UK this is very common). Also, unfortunately the shower, although the shower tray was very spacious, was problematic due to virtually no adequate flow of hot water: when you turn the tap to cold water the flow is very powerful but the water freezes, whereas if you turn it to hot water only a few drops come out, which is not good....


One night in a typical English guest-house

Such a wonderful property in a superb position to explore the cotswolds. The room was a joy with a massive four poster bed, lots of room a fab bathroom and good selection of beverages. The breakfast was exceptional and the proprietors were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. I would thoroughly recommend this guest house as its a park your car get dressed and a five minute walk to a large selection of pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Really enjoyed our three night break and the corncroft guest house has been a highlight.

A jewel in the cotswolds area

Two rooms; twin and double, both tight on space.  An old building so expected slope floors and that feel but the bed was really uncomfortable and the furniture/decor is all very tired looking.  En-suite extremely narrow.  Breakfast ok, staff lovely.  No parking (you need to find a space on the street).

Central, staff lovely and breakfast ok.   Decor exhausted and limited space.

We spent 3 days here and what a lovely town. Very nice guest house with very pleasant owner and staff, who looked after us very well. Rooms were ok and suited us for our 2 night stay but the bed was a little short as I am quite tall. Richard did an excellent breakfast in the and there was a nice little lounge where which could use in the evenings. The Guest house is perfectly placed just off the Town Centre. Only downside was there was no parking and we had to find somewhere on the side streets. Once parked we walked everywhere after that.

Stayed here for 2 nights with friends in centre of Witney.

We stayed at the Corncroft Guest House for a couple of nights while visiting the Cotswolds.  We really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful 'bed & breakfast', located right in the heart of Witney. The staff made us most welcome and the service at reception and in the restaurant for breakfast was exceptional while It all made for a memorable experience. Thank you everyone at the fabulous Corncroft Guest House, we'll be back...

We really enjoyed our stay !!!

We stayed here whilst attending a wedding in the area and really enjoyed it. The room was nice and clean & the staff were all really nice. The breakfast served was decent. Overall I would highly recommend. Great value for money and the location is very convenient.
