This is a little hotel made from some houses so there isn't a lobby or lifts. But my room was spacious and had everything I needed (little mini kitchen in the corner too!). The breakfast was excellent. We hung in the dining room at the end our our day with some drinks chatting with other guests and the bartender which was really nice. This was our favorite place to stay on this trip.

This was a great hotel. The room and bed were huge. Everything was spotless. We travelled by public transport and the hotel was about a 20 minute walk from the station. Although the hotel is not right in the centre, it is only a few minutes from the Head of the River pub and 10 minutes from the Westgate centre. The area is beautiful and very quiet

Very clean. Good, quiet location and easy access to the centre of Oxford. We used the park and ride at Redbridge which made it easy to get to the hotel in less than 15 minutes. We found it lacking in useful information on how to use the heating for the living area of the property, The bedroom heating was ok

My family and I came here for the Formula One race and had an outstanding experience. From the moment we arrived there was no hassle. The restaurant food is outstanding, Anna and Bushra went above and beyond to accommodate us, including making food after the restaurant had closed. One of the top places I have stayed in with my family in the UK.

Our family of 4 stayed at this quaint hotel just outside of downtown Oxford for a night. Rooms were clean and modern and we had dinner and breakfast in the cafe downstairs. The cafe offered excellent food and staff were very professional and friendly. Highly recommended if you want a quite place within walking distance (15 minutes) from the city center.
