Home truths
Parking in Oxford can be tricky so we recommend exploring on foot or by using park-and-ride services – your host can provide more information.
This home is spread over three floors so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. All of the bedrooms are on the first and second floors, and the stairs to the second floor are particularly steep.
