10/10- the bathroom is microscopic but not a deal breaker for me personally. Beautiful little spot, incredibly central.

Cozy Apartment!

It was such a nice stay at the Folly Bridge House. The interior was cozy and we had the most beautiful view into the garden and our balcony was hovering over the Themse. We loved it!

A special place to stay in OxfordMy daughter and I spent eight nights in the Papaver studio at Folly Bridge House, combining a conference with a holiday together. The location is lovely: on a little island by the Thames, with Oxford’s historic centre within easy walking distance.The studio was lovely and clean, and our host was kind and welcoming. It made a great base for exploring the city and enjoying our time together. The house has so much character, and its history adds to the charm of staying somewhere a little different.Thank you for your hospitality and for being part of such a memorable mother-and-daughter trip!

This is a very special location overlooking the Thames River & Folly Bridge. If you should wake up very early morning all the geese gather below the balcony. This art-filled flat is so comfortable and charming. We loved being near to all the wonders of Oxford. We had a lovely time here. We used the trains & buses to visit the Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace, Stratford-upon-Avon & a play in London. We were sorry to leave. We loved this stay!

Wonderful location

This flat is very well located and in a beautiful setting. The only real draw back is the really , really tiny bathroom. It said tiny bathroom in the description and it was tiny. The hosts do want you to do a lot of cleaning before leaving. I don't think they charge a cleaning fee and you can add that to your charge. Hosts were very responsive to questions and checking in and out was a breeze.
