Just perfect! Great house. Tons of space. Easy walking distance to restaurants, transportation. 5 minute walk to restaurants and market, 10 to 15 minute walk to heart of Oxford. Especially loved nice touches like cookies, coffee and tea. House was clean.

My wife and I stayed here with our four young children and my mother-in-law for two weeks while she was doing research at Oxford. Finding accommodations for 7 is not easy; however, Bannister House was truly our home away from home. The house was perfectly clean and well equipped with everything we could ever want. The location was ideal and, although we rented a van, we found that walking or taking the bus was very practical even with all the kids. I will also say that SLS and the local management company were a delight to work with. When we had an issue with the dryer and vacuum not working, they didn’t hesitate to replace and repair as needed. We will be returning to Oxford next year and plan to use SLS and hopefully stay in this property again.

Very nice home. I was unable to see upper floors because of my ‘disability’, but our grown up children enjoyed the top of the house. We were delighted with the backyard patio for dinner & conversation in the evening. Close to the Thames and the towpath. One of our most important checks is a big dining room table which was perfect.
