Just a ten-minute walk from Oxford's city centre, this Victorian home provides a stylish sanctuary. It’s worth noting the house is located alongside the railway line so it is possible to hear trains, but we think the overall design makes it easy to switch off and unwind. Unfolding across three floors, the rooms are well suited to families and groups with plenty of personal touches and character. Your lovely host is on hand to provide tips and recommendations, plus you’ll find the train station is a quick stroll away. It’s also right next to the River Thames – making this a great spot for refreshing walks.
