I stayed here for a night prior to an early morning business meeting in Didcot and was looking for somewhere less budget corporate. I was not disappointed by the quality of the room, facilities were good with WiFi and Digital TV (albeit quite small) and very clean & comfortable. Breakfast was very good, and all of the staff were friendly... More

I spent one night at the Greensands as it was the only place with rooms still available while I was attending a nearby conference and can only recommend this place. I advised the owner during reservation that I would arrive late to check in-after 11pm and he was fien about this (not many B&B allow for late arrival). I stayed... More

My wife and I stayed for 10 days in Greensands whilst we visited areas my GGF lived before emigrating to Australia in the 1850s. Guesthouse was better than expected. Staff (Sue and Paul) were always ready to promptly deal with any enquiry and we given 'the run' of the place. Met the owners and they made us feel extremely welcome... More

The room was a nice surprise, it was groundfloor with patio doors opening onto a lovely garden with patio funiture. The bathroom was a nice size, the beds were comfy and the room clean, one small item, there were no bedside tables so nowhere to put cup or clock etc. Breakfast was very good and the breakfast room was light...

Outdated environment, world-war-2 bathroom, room probably last refurbished before electricity was discovered because you can't find an outlet to plug your shaver. Don't expect anyone to change your towels in 3 days. Leave a used glass on your bedside table and it will rest there forever. A spider or two may share your room: be nice to them and don't... More

I though twice about writing this review - I wouldn't want the place to get too popular and then not be able to get a room myself! But lets not be selfish. I stay here frequently as do colleagues. Its a cut above the Premier Inn/Travelodge options in the area for the same price or less. Spacious, clean rooms, personal... More

Stayed here for 2 nights when in the area to go racing. Its in a very quite area but walking distance to a few local pubs. The place itself is absolutely spotlessly clean, really couldn't fault it. My bed was a tad short for me but no big deal really. The one reservation I would have is the walls are... More

The B&B is a mix of main and outbuildings, part of what looks to be a larger caravan and trailer park. It is well set back from the A road linking Harwell to Wantage, and is generally quiet. There are lots of open areas, well planted with flowers during my visit. I had a very large room adjacent to the... More
