Will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone I know.
The room was very clean and I can’t wait to come back and visit.
Staff is outstanding, the accommodation is inviting, supremely comfortable, perfectly pleasant to be in. The room is actually much more inviting than the photo suggested, and the premises are lovely. Location is central to everything. Count yourself lucky if you can get a reservation!
Located in the center of Oxford makes it easy to take a nice tour trough the city.
There is no AC, like much of the UK, but there is a fan and the windows open. I knew there was no AC going into this though, so even though it was hot, they still get 5 stars.
