Two nights near Oxford

A bit tricky to find, but once we did, our stay was perfect - charming and clean. Everything we needed was a short walk away in Headington, and Oxford was a short ride away by uber or bus.

Wonderful hosts, lovely place

The hosts are very helpful, responsive and friendly. The place is immaculate, well designed with plenty of natural light. It was so convenient being so close to grocery store or local pub (2 min walk each way). Headington is a beautiful area of Oxford. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Oxford location

Terrific location for two couples exploring Oxford, Blenheim, Avebury, Cotswolds et al from this lovely converted stable. Beautifully appointed and maintained. A quick and easy bus ride into central Oxford, and an easy drive to the ring road to explore further afield.

Oxford stayover

The house was lovely and well located in walking distance to grocery store and coffee shops. Also about a 15 minute drive into Oxford itself. It was modern, with lots of space, and very clean and private. The check in process was easy. Overall we really enjoyed staying at this property.

Very neat, clean, well equipped in quiet location with parking and easy bus access to oxford. Agree that a couple of pictures and cushions would make it less sterile.

We couldn't have asked for anymore.

Perfect location for this beautiful property. Two local pubs, perfect for an evening drink and bite to eat. Short 5 minute walk to the local shops and the bus stop into central Oxford. Craig was super helpful and assisted us with everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Headington - we totally fell in love with the area.

Such a great stay

We loved staying at The Stables. We have a 7 year old daughter, and she had a fantastic time playing at the park across the way. It was the perfect location for us. Very easy to get into Oxford Centre on the bus, and it only took about 10 minutes. So many buses that came often, it was never a problem. The place was neat, clean and easy to use, and family friendly. We would stay again!

The Stables were comfortable and welcoming. The heating was excellent for a cold March weekend and the facilities were very good. Managed very well with disabled partner in a wheelchair - no handles in bathroom though.

Our stay at the Stables

Very clean and nice - needs a tad atmosphere as per in paintings on the walls as its quite sterile and perhaps ice in the freezer, a small milk in the fridge and a small bowl of fruit like we get in the States as a real welcome. But apart from those finer details - it was all good.

This place was AMAZING

This is the cutest little place situated on a quiet street across from a fun park for the kids. The house was clean and tidy, large, and fit our family well. Craig the host was nice enough to see us roll in with kids and brought a bucket full of toys for them to play with. Both Craig and his wife were super helpful from start to finish. By the time we were done, we felt like we were leaving a family members house. 5 stars and more!

Good Location

Property was as described, easy to walk to supermarket, shops and restaurants and also the bus into Oxford. However, check in process was difficult. Check in was 4 pm. We got there a little after 4 and could not contact the owners until 5:30. They there was a big rain storm and water came in through the chimney and water was a problem, although the owners were home they never answered our call, just like the check in process.

Anne, thank you for your review and appreciate your comments, apologies if we didn't meet your expectations for this stay it is unusual and we do pride ourselves on being a very welcoming family and responsive to our guests requirements. Storm Babet did bring some unfortunate and torrential rain which was unusual and it now appears there was a small leak down the fire flue into the fireplace from wind driven rain down the chimney, however I am not aware of any communication regarding this during your stay nor was it identified to us on your kind note you left or when we chatted with you after the storm or before your departure, your review unfortunatley was the first we had heard otherwise we would of course have attended at the time living next door. I apologise if you found check in difficult. Dominique did come out to meet you personally when the intercom was pressed and you popped your head over the gate however when she arrived you had unfortunately left and there was some confusion over your whereabouts, we tried to call a number of times to find you and let you in but it appears your US number was uncontactable and I did let you in personally when I managed to get through to Mike. As you say the Stables is in a great location and we hope you had a comfortable stay. We acknowledge your comments and will look to clarify further in our pre stay details other methods of contact other than by phone such as knocking on our door, the VRBO app or email for future stays. I hope you had a safe trip home.

Headington Stables

Although the photo seemed "cold" the Stables was quite comfortable. The hosts were great (Craig and Dominique). The location was perfect for us outside Oxford in community called Headington. It took 10 minutes for the bus to go into Oxford proper and gave us the feeling of living in England. I highly recommend it!
