Russell - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

The house is FANTASTIC! Clean, comfortable, spacious, and in a great location – private but close enough to walk to shops and restaurants. The house is set up very well. We could gather together in the living room and kitchen or go off to be alone in one of the bedrooms. We stayed for a week and highly recommend this house.

Sian - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

Great stay in Oxford for the half marathon, close to the centre which is perfect for reaching anything you want or need but also far enough out for the quiet respite we all love when we go away. Very responsive when it came to asking questions. House was spacious, clean, modern, what we loved and noticed is it had just that little extra that most air bnb’s don’t have like all the phone chargers in the lounge so if you forgot one you would be able to use theirs, to biscuits in the kitchen , and mini toiletries in the bathroom. All round amazing house and perfect get away. Thank you so much

Jamie - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

Great location, bedrooms were roomy and 2 parking spaces!
