Just a few minutes from the university, we're not exaggerating when we say this 17th-century home places you in the heart of Oxford. Spread over three floors and with each room having its own ensuite and ultra comfy mattresses, you'll enjoy plenty of time to yourselves here. The unique design of the living area, where floral patterns abound, makes for a memorable spot to socialise, while the shared garden allows for alfresco dining – weather permitting, of course. As a bonus, two bedrooms offer views of Oxford Castle, while the excellent location means you can easily explore the rest of the city's attractions – museums, shopping, theatres and more are all a short walk away.

Steeped in history yet thoroughly modern, this Grade II-listed cottage is heaped with country-chic character. In the open-plan living space, a soft sofa invites you to take the weight off your feet – ideally with a cup of tea or glass of wine in hand. After riffling through the book-stuffed shelves, head into the carefully conceived kitchen to chop, season and assemble dishes as your hungry companions wait eagerly in the bright dining area. 

Outside, a patio garden filled with plants and birdsong is the perfect spot to sip an espresso before exploring your surroundings. A thirty-minute walk or ten-minute bus ride places you at the Ashmolean Museum, famous for its collections of art and archaeology.

When it’s time for dinner, check out the restaurants, pubs and bars that cluster around Summertown and Jericho.

Highwayman’s Cottage

The house is modern after a renovation in 2017, where the addition of skylights also brightens the home. The garden is a nice bonus here, where garden furniture and a barbecue occupy the deck in the backyard.
