Comfortable, clean stay in Oxford UK
Comfortable guest house within walking distance of Oxford center, university & along River Thames. Room was exceptionally clean. Some parking on premise (first come, first serve). Steep stairs, no elevator but that is to be expected in guest houses. Good place for solo, couples, families. Would stay here again.

Great overnight stay
Excellent location for parking and exploring the City. 15 minute walk to the sights, pubs and restaurants. Difficult to get parked in this area. The room was comfortable and very clean. Great overnight stay.
