David and Linda were so sweet and the listing is exactly as advertised. It was such a nice, clean, comfortable home to stay in while we were traveling. They left us all we needed for breakfast plus some treats and it made our first day so easy. The location is perfect. A block away from the main road and bus stops but so quiet and private. We ended up not having a car but there is parking in a private lot at the building. The whole house has so much light from the big windows it just felt so homey and comfortable. I would stay here again if I were visiting Oxford.

Best Stay Ever!

This was such a great stay. Location is perfect with coffee shops, cafes and a beautiful park nearby. Beds were very comfortable and the unit was ultra clean. Bus stops are within 2-3 minute walk and it’s a very short ride to Oxford City Centre. The host is possibly the nicest you will meet. She’s a gem and is very responsive to any questions.

Perfect in every way

We chose the property for the location near the hospital so my husband was close by whilst I was there. It proved to be perfect, very comfortable, quiet with wonderfully caring hosts. A very well stocked kitchen with a basket of goodies as a welcome pack. We would highly recommend this property.

Our stay in Linden Court, Headington

Linden Court was a stunning property. Very clean and comfortable. Good location. Easy access into the City of Oxford by bus. Reasonably priced and no hassle with parking. Our hosts Linda and David were very friendly and helpful. They made us feel very welcome and were on hand if you encountered any problems. Thank you both for making our short stay very enjoyable.

Linden Court Stay

The place is charming, very clean, and very well organized. My hosts Linda and Dave were the best hosts I’ve ever had- very kind - they gave me all sorts of information, offered to help out with arrangements, and set up the place beautifully for my week ling stay.The property is in a neighborhood called Hedington shops, a self contained neighborhood, and within an easy bus ride to the city center.My stay worked out very well. Linda was super nice- I’ll be tagging this rental and recommending it to others.

Hi Banny, Thank you so much for your review and we are hoping you will come back to stay at LC. Banny, is an excellent communicator. The house was left sparkling clean and all the other requests ie. bins emptied, used laundry in bath tub etc. were all done. I recommend Banny as a guest. Warmest regards, Linda

Very comfortable and cosy house

The two story house gave a very spacious feeling. The bedrooms were separated by a hallway and as all other things about this house things where extremely well planned. No noise from neighbours or traffic even thou buses were only a 5 minutes walk away which made it easy to discover Oxford and get to the airport. Cosy pubs 10 minutes walk away. Highly recommended.

Visit to Oxford

David and Linda are excellent hosts. The flat is a little tucked away and the directions they gave were very helpful and we found it easily. It was clean and modern and had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable during our stay. There are a lot of great places to eat and get coffee just a short walk away. The bus stops are also very close by. We would definitely come back if we ever visit the area again. It is close to Oxford City Center which is where we spent most of our time.

The perfect base for our Oxford stay

This property was perfect for us in every way. Just the right size and very well appointed, with every amenity we could ask for. There were even breakfast provisions waiting for us when we arrived. The location couldn’t be better. A short walk to a Waitrose, and to the bus stop for a short ride to the center of Oxford. A slightly longer walk (maybe 10 minutes) to two lovely pubs. Finally, communications with our hosts were outstanding. Linda showed genuine concern for our arrival and our comfort. Thank you, Linda, for a great VRBO experience in Oxford.

The kindness of strangers

I arrived at Linda and David’s lovely lodging with a foot injury and have never been treated with such kindness. Linda came by everyday and checked on me. She grocery shopped and brought me reading materials. I ordered her dinners and was surprised at the clean healthy meals she delivered each evening. Gourmet and simple at the same time. They were flexible about my arrival, possible cancellation and departure hour. It truly was the best recovery I could ever had wished for. I will return another time with my partner and I recommend the listing without one reservation.
