Welcome to this huge villa, with original features situation in the heart of Oxford close to St Giles.
Large rooms 2 x doubles, 1 x 4 singles. 1 x sofa bed.
Big kitchen, dining room and spacious living room.
1970s kitchen with new hob and ovens, older bathroom.
Fast wifi, no TV. We use a professional linen service, immaculately clean, a little tired in places as upgrades are restricted on historic buildings in UK - hence the reasonable price for such a central mansion.

We take groups, but no parties. We live very close by & are on-hand to help, but try not to bother you.

Long weekend in Oxford

Plenty of spaces to hang out & chat together. Good kitchen facilities very helpful to us due to limited mobility. Great support from host.
