Garden view

Soak up the view during your stay.
A peaceful modern ground floor apartment on a quiet side street in an East Oxford conservation area with easy access to city centre, local shops, and cafes. It opens on to a lovely town garden .

Free parking is available on driveway or with a street permit. It is 5 minutes by bus (20 mins walk) into the city centre.

A self contained annex to the main house, with its own entrance and self-check if preferred. A blue plaque commemorates Anne and Vivian Ridler, poet and printer/typographer.

The space
The apartment is very peaceful and well-equipped. It has underfloor heating, and television with a good supply of DVDs. We are almost always on hand to welcome guests, to show them where things are and to offer advice when wanted on what to see and where to eat (while respecting visitors' wish to be private. )

We really enjoy meeting people from all over the world and try to make their stay in this lovely city as enjoyable as possible.

Guest access
You are welcome to sit out and eat outside in the garden when weather is good. There is a table and chairs directly outside the bedroom French windows which gets the morning sun and is quite private (tho part of the main house garden) so is ideal for having breakfast and morning coffee outside. However we find that many of our guests like to go out for breakfast to one of the cafes just round the corner.
Please note that there is a pond in the main garden which is a hazard for young children who must be supervised at all times.

Other things to note
There is a good variety of restaurants and gastropubs in the near neighbourhood, and small local shops within a few minutes walk if you need to stock up on supplies or want to entertain at home. We've prepared details of how to get about and what to see in Oxford and the local countryside, but hope guests will add to this from their own experiences during their stay with us.

Neighbourhood highlights

This is a safe, quiet residential neighbourhood in a conservation area. You can either take the bus into town or walk (about 20 minutes to the centre) or there is a pleasant walk into town along the towpath beside the river Thames, details of which may be found in the apartment.
There are some good, friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs just round the corner, and Cowley Road, with its vibrant multi-cultural community and variety of places to eat, is a short walk away.
