Details
Dating back to the early 17th century, The Old Black Horse on Saint Clement's Street offers a tangible link to Oxford's past, being one of the few buildings in the area to survive the English Civil War. This former coaching inn provides straightforward, individually decorated rooms, each equipped with an en-suite bathroom, television, and tea/coffee-making facilities, ensuring a comfortable base for your explorations. While the original description mentions a full breakfast, recent reviews suggest breakfast may not be currently provided or is available at a nearby café; however, the convenience of free Wi-Fi and the historic charm of its low ceilings and characterful features remain. Some rooms even include a small refrigerator, and the inn maintains a bar and restaurant, with some guests praising its Tandoori mixed grill.
The Old Black Horse's prime location in the St Clement's district means you're just a five-minute walk from the city centre and the historic University of Oxford Botanic Garden. A short stroll across Magdalen Bridge brings you to Magdalen College, with its beautiful deer park, and other iconic Oxford attractions like the Bodleian Library, Oxford Castle & Prison, and numerous university colleges, all within easy walking distance. The area is well-served by public transport, with the Heathrow airport bus stopping nearby, and for those arriving by car, parking is available, though it may be chargeable. Its position on a bustling street means some rooms might experience street noise, but it also places you conveniently close to Cowley Road's diverse eateries.
