Rental unit in Marston
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 142 reviewsGround Floor Flat. Prime location to visit Oxford
Lovely Airbnb, which had everything we needed. So great to have the travel cot and high chair: the space was ideal for a family travelling with a baby. Thanks so much!

Home in Headington
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 196 reviewsDunstan House, Luxury Holiday Home,Free Parking
Lovely place to stay and perfect for our little family trip to visit Oxford with our 1 year old daughter. Really clean, well presented and warm. Could do with more toilet roll supplied and a chain on the bath plug but these are tiny things. Eranda was extremely responsive, helpful and friendly. We used the Thornhill park and ride to explore Oxford which was easy to use and took about 30 mins each way- worth the journey when the house has a place to park, is in a quiet location and has more space for a little one I think. Izzy loved roaming the floors and the second smaller bedroom was perfect for the travel cot with it's back out curtains. Would recommend.
Rental unit in Oxfordshire
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsSleep & Stay Oxford - Beautiful Flat Close to town
Kasim's place was terrific. I'd definitely stay there again. It's walkable to city center, to bars/venues on Cowley Road, and there's a decent grocery store within easy walking distance. But it's in an area of Iffy Road that didn't have too much nighttime noise, which was nice. The kitchen is user friendly, and the bed was great. Highly recommend!

We were welcomed warmly by Luigi and family to the lovely apartment. It was in perfect pristine condition with everything we need. The neighbourhood was also really quiet and peaceful despite it being a short walk to restaurants and shops. A very lovely area. It is clear Luigi takes pride in caring for this apartment. He is very communicative and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Oxford.

First class stay. Where to start⌠our hosts were incredibly welcoming, communication from the outset was first class; warm, welcoming and accommodating. The house itself is beautiful and the furnishings, beautifully curated. The house equally felt so inviting and comfortable. Small details were added; leather key rings on spare house keys, magazines, games, fresh coffee pods, fresh milk, cleaning products arranged neatly⌠detail! Gorgeous pubs, restaurants, bakery, on the doorstep. Surrounded by gorgeous houses. The easiest 15 minute walk in to centre via Magdalen Bridge and College, Botanic Gardens etc etc! We absolutely loved our stay here for all the right reasons! Thank you. Weâll be back! Xxx

Chalet in Oxfordshire
5 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviews1 Person Self Contained Garden Lodge Ck in by 4pm
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Indiaâs lodge in Oxford, and I can confidently say it was the best choice ever! The location is absolutely perfect - just a short walk or a quick bus ride to the city centre, making it incredibly convenient to explore all that Oxford has to offer. The lodge itself was wonderfully organised and impeccably clean, which made my stay all the more enjoyable. I was impressed by how well-equipped it was, providing all the resources one would need for a night or even a month-long stay. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting Oxford. Thank you, India, for such a fantastic experience!
Guesthouse in Oxford
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 340 reviewsBeautiful garden cabin
A lovely and cosy cabin set in a beautiful garden. Brenda is a wonderful host and the cabin is great for a short stay in the area.
Loft in Oxford
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 177 reviewsLovely studio apartment close to Oxford
It is a very cosy and tidy loft, equipped with everything needed and decorated nicely by the host. It just makes me feel at home. Despite not being able to visit Oxford because of my training, the loft gave me the necessary relaxed atmosphere and quietness of the surroundings to make my studies go softly and easily. I find Thornhill Park and drive an easy and effective way to go to Oxford Centre, it is just about an 8-minute drive from the loft. For those who like Middle Eastern food, I would advise the ZA'ATAR BAKE restaurant, as they serve a variety of oriental food and so delicious! I would highly recommend this lovely loft, and for sure will return for another stay. Thank you, Jane!
Guesthouse in Wolvercote
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 112 reviewsSunny Studio with privacy and parking in Oxford
Diane's sunny studio was a very private stand-alone apartment in the host's back yard. Although attached to a small office, the studio was always quiet offering a peaceful break from busy Oxford. When it wasn't raining, the daytime light was very good. Diane provided delightfully fresh and soft bed linens for each week of my stay. The excellent washer dryer combo was an added benefit. Transportation via the bus lines on Branbury Road was convenient with many lines running to city center. Diane was a gracious host and provided a clean and comfortable space for rest and relaxation.
Cabin in Oxford
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 96 reviewsSereneâs little house in East Oxford
We loved this little garden space. Itâs beautifully quirky inside with everything you need and very clean and tidy. We loved the bath products and the very comfy bed. Despite being in the garden, it felt very private. Crowley Road is a short walk away with every kind of food, and 30 mins walk to the centre. Sakhria was an excellent host, welcoming and super flexible about our departure time letting us return and shower after the Oxford half marathon. Highly recommend!
