Oxford Guest House

In Headington, just east of Oxford’s centre — a family-run bed & breakfast minutes from John Radcliffe Hospital and a short drive to Christ Church College and the University of Oxford. Oxford Brookes University and several private schools are within easy walking distance, and a bus stop outside links you to the city centre and London airports. Close to local points of interest like the Headington Shark and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, this guest house is a practical, family-friendly base.

The vibe is warm and lived-in with garden views, a terrace and an on-site wine garden. Nine individually decorated guestrooms include microwaves, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers, desks and laptop-compatible safes; bathrooms have showers, hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms fresh and the neighbourhood puts cafes, restaurants and shops a five-minute walk away.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, free self-parking and a bar/lounge set the tone. Relax in the garden, enjoy the wine garden and restaurant, or unwind in shared spaces with a TV and library. There’s also a playroom for kids, a barbecue area and laundry/dry-cleaning services.

Meeting space (about 269 sq ft) and a conference room make small events easy. Express check-in/check-out and wired/wireless internet help business travellers stay connected.

An on-site restaurant and wine garden serve homemade British-style dishes and a selection of wines. Breakfast is served daily with cooked-to-order service on weekdays (7:30–9:00) and weekends (8:00–9:30); children 12 and under eat free.
