Corinna - Aug 2026 - Booking.com

Lovely little apartment, perfect for a small family.
Bus station was right in front of the door. The apartment It was easy to get in, thanks. to a code and the company rents it out was easy to reach. The interior was pretty new, well cleaned, the area and the house were quiet and outside the was a lovely little sitting area. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to cook.

John - Jul 2026 - Booking.com

It was very hot but the host supplied 2 fans which really helped.

Great location for us traveling into Oxford and out to Woodstock

Our second stay. Exactly what we needed. Well appointed. Comfortable. Easy for buses.

“Great stay and convenient for everything
We are parents of a new Oxford student and recently stayed in a 2-bedroom suite on the ground floor at Vanbrugh Suites for 4 nights to help our child settle in. The location is excellent, especially if you have a car. There is free parking right at the door, and it’s just a 10-minute drive to the center of Oxford and a 5-minute drive to a large M&S food store, which is great for cooking or buying ready-to-eat meals. The suite features gas stoves, enough plates for 4-6 people, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Check-in is convenient, as they send the door code via email in advance. We’ll definitely stay here again for future Oxford visit. Just some minor issues: The bedding is comfortable. It would be great if the bed could be larger (e.g., 1.8m wide). The current size is acceptable for two adults but feels a bit crowded. The frying pan has quite a few scratches. Please ensure it is replaced regularly.”

Our Reply
Thank you so much for your kind review and helpful feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and found the location convenient. We appreciate your comments about the frying pans, we’ll check all cookware in the apartment and replace any that are worn. The beds in the apartment are double beds, but we’ll certainly take your feedback into consideration for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Oxford!

Kudos to the cleaning crew and the host! The place was exceptionally neat, tidy, and thoroughly cleaned. The host was incredibly informative, responsive, and accommodating, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. This will definitely be our top choice going forward. Highly recommended!

Srikanth - Jul 2025 - Short Let Space

Our business trip at Vanbrugh 1 is memorable one. We have thoroughly enjoyed the stay, which was great. All required amenities were present. Shops was placed within walking distance. Kitchenette was good as our stay was for10 days, we preferred cooking. Our work place was also at a distance of 10 minutes. I should specially thank Nataliya for accommodating our last minute request for extension of one night.

Wan-chen - Jul 2025 - Booking.com

Conveniently located. Bus stop is just across the road. All basic appliances are there. Communication with Short let Spaces is easy and all issues are addressed timely.

Bridget - May 2023 - Air B&B

Brilliant space, so warm and comfortable and just across the road from a bus stop into all of the Oxford sights. Thanks for a great stay.

Lucretia - Nov 2022 - Air B&B

A lovely space in the perfect location. The space was staged for a wonderful holiday with comfortable furniture and all the amenities needed. There was parking for our car however we primarily walked to dinner and shopping or took the bus as the bus stop was directly across the street.

Andrew - Oct 2022 - Booking.com

Very comfortable and well equipped apartment. A bus stop is just across the road and the buses run regularly into town. It takes 10 minutes and a day ticket for the city area costs just £4:30. All communication with Short Let Space was efficient and friendly. The off road parking was a little tight if people turn up in huge SUVs, but it was manageable.

Mardusari - Oct 2022 - Booking.com

Very spacious property, we got flat number 1, which is very good as expected – Very clean – 2 bathrooms – nice and safe neighborhood – bus stop is exactly across the property

Susan - Apr 2022 - Booking.com

The flat was very clean and comfortable and in a great location – we would stay again. Excellent bus service into Oxford and convenient for cafes and takeaways.

Mark - Jan 2022 - Booking.com

Off-road parking. Warm and nicely fitted out.

everything i needed after work,clean,tidy and welcoming

good size as there was 2 of us

Julie - Jul 2020 - Booking.com

The location was excellent. The property was comfortable and had all amenities, although not the apartment I thought we had booked from the pictures on the website, which were of a larger and brighter apartment on the second floor.

Quite dark in the living area.

SoniaVer - Mar 2020 - Booking.com

The comfort of the appartment overall: sofa in the living room, eating table, bedrooms, space, light and heating! Perfect!

Tim - Feb 2020 - Booking.com
Joseph - Feb 2020 - Booking.com

Great value for money. Used it as a base whilst dropping my daughter back at Uni.

Spacious, clean and quiet. Hassle-free rental.

Emma - Dec 2019 - Booking.com

All the equipment in the kitchen was modern, clean and worked well. The coffee/tea sachets were useful and the dishwasher was a bonus. The key safe system was good although we used the code system on the door which was very easy to use. Having good curtains at the windows was very good because so many apartments just have blinds which are not really sufficient to keep out morning light if you need to sleep, My key criteria was: quiet clean accommodation, location not too far from the city centre with good public transport and good curtains with a reasonable price tag.
