This Victorian townhouse has been renovated into a modern, stylish place to stay in Oxford. It’s a five-minute walk from the train station and just ten minutes from the historic centre of Oxford, where you can explore museums, shop for souvenirs, and dine out. Despite being centrally located, this townhouse is on a peaceful road, so you’ll be able to unwind here. We love the contemporary, cool kitchen and dining space, the heart of the home, and the fuss-free bedrooms. There’s even a garden to spread out in in summer.
