  Great Location. Was great for what we needed

  Liked: Great location. Helpful team. Overall worked well for what we needed.

  Disliked: The windows are not great and the wind rattles them around. Otherwise the place could do with a lick of paint. Small things though. we have a good stay.

  Quirky and Unique Place

  Liked: Loved this quirky little place. Absolute gem for short stay in Oxford. Very well situated for easy walking to all the main attractions - covered market, museums, botanical gardens, and shopping area, etc. Place was clean n tidy. Young man that always seemed to be around during our stay was very pleasant, polite, and friendly. If you needed anything all you had to do was ask Creaky floorboards, low ceilings and beams, wonky stairs and walls add to the charm of this historic town house. If you're taller, then mind your head! If you want 5* luxury, then this is not for you. Looking for somewhere clean n tidy, good location then I recommend staying here

  Disliked: Nothing we didn't enjoy about our stay here
