This is an old favorite with Room4u, especially if you want to be able to escape the hurly burly of Oxford bustling tourist season. This smart terraced Victorian terraced house boasts rooms that are brightly and imaginatively decorated, each featuring TV and tea and coffee making facilities. Free broadband Wi-Fi is also available free of charge. Guest can look forward to a full English breakfast served in house's traditionally furnished breakfast room with its cosy, original fireplace. Grandpont Nature Park is just a 10-minute hike on foot and the famous city centre is no more than 15 minutes walk.

If you are arriving on the train then you may be best hitching a cab, as Oxford Rail Station is just over a mile away. The gurst house overlooks the Queen’s College sports grounds and offers free on-site parking. Redbridge Park & Ride comes heartily recommended, which is 3/4 mile. Buses back into Oxford are every five minutes or so.
