Details
Nestled on historic Turl Street, the Turl Street Mitre has roots stretching back to the 14th century when several houses on this site were first converted into an inn. Owned by Lincoln College since 1475, this Grade II* listed building has a storied past, even serving as an important coaching inn during the 17th century with regular coaches to London. The current structure, dating mainly from around 1630, exudes centuries of charm while offering modern comforts following extensive renovations. Its prime location places you mere steps from iconic Oxford landmarks including the Radcliffe Camera, Bodleian Library, and the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, making it an ideal base for soaking up the city's unique atmosphere and history.
Inside the Turl Street Mitre, guests can expect a blend of historic character and contemporary convenience. Many rooms offer delightful city views, and all are equipped with essentials like desks and tea/coffee-making facilities. While the charm of an ancient building includes features like narrow stairs, as noted by a previous guest, the central location is consistently praised as excellent, allowing for easy exploration of colleges, museums, and the Covered Market on foot. The friendly and helpful staff also receive commendations, contributing to a welcoming stay in the very heart of Oxford. Whether you're in town for sightseeing, university connections, or simply to wander the charming streets, the Mitre offers a unique and comfortable experience.

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!
Will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone I know.
