Guests say
Hive Mews in Abingdon offers a clean, well-appointed and cosy flat, praised for its central location with easy access to local attractions and Oxford. While some guests experienced issues with noise and heating, the overall stay is considered enjoyable and relaxing, with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable amenities.
Guests consistently describe the flat as very clean and well-presented, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The central location is appreciated for its proximity to local sights and Oxford, though some guests noted traffic noise and tight parking.
The flat is described as cosy and the bed comfortable, but one report of a non-functioning heater in the main bedroom suggests some comfort issues.
The kitchen is fully equipped and the property is generally well-maintained, but the absence of a dishwasher, TV connection issues, and noise from building work affected the score.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches from the owners in the reviews, so this category cannot be scored.

Abingdon-on-Thames is a historic town situated in rural Oxfordshire, where the river Thames meets the River Ock.
The town thrives on its independence and has everything on your doorstep that you could wish for including small shops, cafés, restaurants, offering a choice of foods from around the world, and many excellent pubs. The town’s marketplace hosts weekly Monday markets, monthly farmers’ markets and quarterly local food and craft markets.
There are beautiful riverside walks to be enjoyed along the Thames just a few yards away from the property, lovely architecture to be admired, historical treasures, parks and gardens, and a choice of leisure facilities including boating, swimming, and fishing. The university city of Oxford is within 8 miles which you can catch the regular local bus to within a short walk from the property, and has many attractions to include the Bodleian Library, punting along the river, an eclectic mix of restaurants, cafés and bars and great shopping at the Westfield shopping centre.
There are Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in every direction, including the Berkshire Downs, The Cotswolds, and The Chilterns. You can spend time meandering through country roads, admiring the beautiful scenery, walking, and cycling and stopping off at country pubs along the way. Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill, is 16 miles and hosts many events throughout the year. For shopaholics, no trip to this area would be complete without a trip to Bicester shopping village, with numerous designer outlet shops within a 30-minute drive. The nearest train station is in Didcot with regular trains to London.

Cosy flat located in a very busy road in Abingdon. Parking is tight and little space to manoeuvre. We had building work in flat below with workers playing loud music and lots of banging of walls.Not very relaxing.Heating in main bedroom didn't work either so ut was very cold.No dishwasher and no TV connection only your relevant apps.Overall the flat is nice, clean and well presented but be mindful of traffic noise and neighbours
