Positive Reviews
positive:
A tranquil location.
Lane House makes amazing use of its rural surroundings, providing a calm and relaxing setting for your vacation. It has a number of walking paths, animal pens, and other farm-oriented features around the premises, making it great for afternoon exploration or enjoying summer weather.
positive:
Nearness to Oxford.
Oxford, one of the most historic and famous cities in the area, is just a short bus trip away. You can also walk to the city centre. Once there, you'll be able to peruse a number of shops, unique galleries, and restaurants, which makes it an ideal and varied stop on your vacation.
positive:
Incredible breakfasts.
Lane House uses a range of local produce and ingredients to make its full breakfasts, and can serve just about anything you need to start your day. Egg dishes, pastries, and cereals are all available, as well as meat dishes and hearty favourites like baked beans.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No large common room.
One of the joys of farmhouse establishments tends to be a community space where you can enjoy drinks and relax in the evening. While Lane House has a sitting area, it isn't large or decorated enough to serve as a much-needed common room for its guests.
negative:
Limited spaces.
Lane House is extremely small in its capacity for guests, meaning that if you don't book one of its two room options in advance, you'll likely be out of luck for your stay. This does, however, make it a far quieter and more secluded experience for those seeking relaxation.
negative:
Undersized towels.
As strange as it may sound, the bath towels provided at Lane House are not large enough to serve as full-body towels, and you may wish to contact the front desk about replacing the smaller versions in your bathroom.
