I had the misfortune to stay at The Terrace for 2 nights in August as I was in the Oxford area visiting a terminally ill relative. I was greeted at the door by the owner, Vicky and her small dog, Geneviene. As a dog lover,this didn't particularly bother me. However en route to my room, Geneviene nipped my ankle and drew blood, which was somewhat unsettling. The room itself was cluttered. A thick layer of surface dust was visible to the naked eye on most surfaces. Moreover,the complementary bath robe provided was threadbare (it seemed ankles weren't the only thing Geneviene enjoyed chewing). However the major issue for me was the communal bathroom. The guesthouse was busy with other residents and therefore the toilet worryingly had an array of brown skid marks and the hallway leading to the bed rooms had a pungent aroma no amount of Glade could hide. At first Vicky came across as eccentric, however in the mornings her breath stank of stale red wine and on the second night, she went on an incoherent rant about the EU. Undortunately I would not recommend staying here.

Should rename The Terror

Dirty 
dusty 
cluttered
 dog hairs 
rude owner
Dirty shared bathroom
Parking bad
Out of the town down a residential street
Just Horrid 
Not welcoming owner. Thinks she and her property are above anyone else and both are very far from that

Never just horrendous

Stains on the mattress, shower was not even cleaned when we arrived. Toe nails was all over the floors, definitely not cleaned from previous people. The owner was very rude as well, never never won’t be coming here ever again!!!

Worst b&b I have ever witnessed

Having read some pf the reviews I decided to book here to break a long journey, I wish I had saved my money and travelled on. My bedroom was so small and cramped and considering that it is shared bathroom facilities I think the price charged is way over the top.  Breakfast was OK but not outstanding.

Very disapointed

I watched four in a bed on TV and I thought this lady might have a lovely house and be a nice person but she is really quite up her own backside and snobby like she is better than everyone else. I wont be staying here that's for sure

Four in a bed

Booked this B&B after a friend going to the same party had booked.  Arrived around six pm Saturday evening .   Parking on a neighbouring street due residents parking scheme, three minutes away. Welcomed by the owners and shown to a comfortable bedroom.  Very clean with  shared bathroom facilities.   
 
Sunday morning had breakfast outside looking on what can best be described as a cottage garden with an abundance of flowers and greener.   Excellent cooked breakfast with tea and coffee.

Place to stay after a party

What a cheek she had charging £100.00 per night, with shared bathroom. But didn’t pay the other participants what their rooms were worth with en suites! Would definitely not stay there when next in Oxford!

Just watched four in a bed on the tv!

The terrace B&B was a dream to stay at whilst I was on a work trip for 4 nights a few weeks ago. It's very centrally positioned for Cowley Road and was super clean and tidy. The owner Vicky was lovely and welcoming and her dog Genevieve became my friend for the 4 days! I would definitely stay again, 

Thanks Vicky!

A lovely place to stay

The b&b itself is adequate if a little grubby, but owner makes any stay deeply unpleasant. By 10.30pm she was literally slumped on the floor in a drunken stupour, and at one point I think she fell downstairs in the middle of the night. The whole place reeked of booze; it smelt worse than a pub. The owner kept trying to get into conversation about how much she hated black people (only she didn't say 'black people' but used an abusive term) and when told that we were not interested in her personal views stormed off muttering something about f***ing Jews, although since neither of us are Jewish I'm not sure if this was aimed at us or was just part of her drunken diatribe. Truly unbelievable and deeply awful.

Incredibly racist and incredibly drunk owner

The owner always had a smell of alcohol on her breath, one night I returned to find her quite drunk and ended up in conversation with her, she droned on about black people for around an hour where eventually I decided to challenge her on her racist views which resulted in me being shouted at for disagreeing with her racist opinions, I quickly checked out. I would never stay here again.
