About this property

Historic city centre, large rooms, sleeps 10, free parking. Fast wifi.

Welcome to this huge villa, with original features situation in the heart of Oxford close to St Giles.
Large rooms 2 x doubles, 1 x 4 singles. 1 x sofa bed.
Big kitchen, dining room and spacious living room.
1970s kitchen with new hob and ovens, older bathroom.
Fast wifi, no TV. We use a professional linen service, immaculately clean, a little tired in places as upgrades are restricted on historic buildings in UK - hence the reasonable price for such a central mansion.

We take groups, but no parties. We live very close by & are on-hand to help, but try not to bother you.

Fast Wifi no TV.

High ceilings, wooden doors hand-carved banisters and large windows; this house is flooded with natural light.


We also have a one-bed flat next door if you need more accommodation.

Three spacious double bedrooms:
1 x a double bed, wardrobe, full length mirror
1 x a double bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, full length mirror

Long weekend in Oxford

Plenty of spaces to hang out & chat together. Good kitchen facilities very helpful to us due to limited mobility. Great support from host.

We had a pleasant stay in the house. Although some things in the house are a bit outdated, as can be read in the description, this doesn't detract from the house's charm.The location is perfect, even when you travel with small children. You can easily walk to the historic city center, but also to The University Parks and Burgess Field/Port Meadows are close by. The host is friendly and easily accessible. I would book the house again if we ever return.
