If you are looking for a central base to use as a springboard to discover all that Oxford has to offer then look no further. The castle is just around the corner, and if you walk a hundred metres further, you’ll find yourself in among the colleges. Inside it’s all modernity – a far cry from the dreamy spires of the city centre, but fitting for a bolthole this close to the buzzing Westgate Shopping Centre. A curated collection of trinkets and bold modern art livens up gallery-white walls and a welcome hamper awaits your arrival, complete with coffee pods. The open-plan living area is a social space to unwind after a day exploring the cobbles and quads, and both bedroom have king-size beds so there’s no fighting over who gets the master. The icing on the cake is the little balcony, just off the dining area, with a bistro set for two.

Though it can sleep up to four people, it feels as though the space is designed for two
