Perfect location with fantastic access to Abingdon itself and Oxford on the bus. Hive Mews had everything we needed and was well equipped in the kitchen. The bed was comfy and parking ideal. In fact we didn’t take the car out at all. The bus service was great. Plenty of places to buy the necessities and plenty of places to eat out.
