3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW

Oxford seemed a better stopover location on our west to east drive across Northern Mississippi than Clarksdale or Tupelo and seemed to be a town offering a wide choice of accommodation. We were unsure whether to go to the Old Miss Inn or the Downtown Oxford Inn but in the end were persuaded by the 5 Twelve website that their... More

We very much enjoyed a restful and thoroughly pleasant stay at this clean & refined (without being pretentious) B&B, conveniently located a short walk from Oxford's charmingly active town square in one direction and the beautiful University of MS campus in the other. There's plenty of shops and fine dining nearby together with more undergraduate-oriented pub entertainment. A convenient spot... More

My wife and I spent three nights at the 5 Twelve and loved it. Ilean is such a gracious host that you would think she owns the place. Our room (4) was small but comfortable. Breakfasts were not gourmet, but they were delicious. The outdoor space on the porches and patio is abundant and enjoyable. Typical for a B&B, the... More

Looked at reviews and was anxious to book a room at this lovely B&B. However the prices are much different than those mentioned in other reviews. The prices are now $150 a $175. The prices listed on trip advisor showed $50 - $75.

We wish you would actually stay with us before you give a terrible rating. Our prices are very competive and were incorrectly put up by trip advisor. They have now been corrected, and we hope in the future you will give us the opportunity to show you what a beautiful place we have. More

My wife and I are in our late 20s and have yet to understand why more 'young people' don't look to B&Bs for out-of-town getaways. You're seriously missing out. The 5 Twelve is a great little bed & breakfast within walking distance of the Oxford Square and campus. We stayed one night, but it was a very restful, comfortable night.... More

The location of this bed and breakfast is ideal. We were within walking distance of the Square with its great shops and also the Ole Miss campus. Our room was comfortable although the bed in our room was surrounded by a ledge that I found bothersome. The live-in manager said that they are getting new four poster beds like the... More

Awesome all around - super comfy and quiet. Delicious food. Easy walk to downtown Oxford. The room we had was the most affordable (student budget), but it felt nice and we had a bunch of windows, a cool tub, and an EXTREMELY comfortable bed. We both slept til almost 10 the next morning.
