Victoria - Oct 2026 - Air B&B

Lovely house
Spacious and comfortable easy to travel into Oxford

Theresa - Sep 2026 - Air B&B

We – three friends and a baby – stayed in this cosy cottage for two nights. The communication with the host was extremely fast and efficient despite the fact that our booking was super last minute. The house is clean, comfortable and quiet, has all the necessary amenities (even a laundry-machine, with provided detergent-strips, wich was a blessing!) as well as a very cute garden (which was amazing for the little one). There is a bus stop just around the corner so the city center is very easy to reach and the Headington shops are a only 12 minute walk, or short bus ride away. All in all it was the perfect home for a weekend in Oxford, and we would highly recommend it!

Ashley - Jun 2026 - Air B&B

We felt comfortable and right at home here! It was a very quaint cottage with a sweet little backyard/patio sitting area. The house was also within walking distance to the bus stop, which was very convenient for wanting to explore more of Oxford. The hosts were very responsive and provided helpful instructions in advance.

Rebecca - May 2026 - Air B&B

Lovely stay!

Gautam - Dec 2023 - Air B&B

Good links to Oxford. Charming place . Spacious rooms.

Barbara - Nov 2023 - Air B&B

This compact house in Headington was absolutely perfect for our needs. While adjacent to a major street, it was extremely quiet and peaceful. The beds were wonderfully comfortable, and all 3 bedrooms were a good size. It was very convenient to have 2 full bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with views to the sweet garden, and the open dining room /living room were very comfortable. It was a short walk into Headington with Waitrose and Sainsbury quite close and a number of nice restaurants. About 5 -10 minutes from the house, you can pick up many different buses, including ones that go to and from the airports and straight into Oxford central.

Alfie - Oct 2023 - Air B&B

Lovely stay, great home and a great host!
