Marlborough House - Guest House, hotel in Oxford

The Marlborough House - Guest House is situated approximately 2 miles from the city centre and just half a mile from the buzzing and lively area of Summertown in North Oxford.

The mini kitchen was handy to prepare a simple meal. Although the room was a little warm at times, there were 2 fans, which were more than adequate. It was very quiet. The canal walk was nearby, which was lovely. There were a number of eateries and small Sainsbury and Tesco stores at Summertown, a 10-minute walk away. The bus stop for the number 6 bus was 100 metres away. It is around 3km in town and takes 10-15 minutes by bus or a pleasant 30-minute walk.

Cornerways Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Oxford

Just over a mile south from the centre of Oxford, Cornerways Bed & Breakfast offers self-catering accommodation with free WiFi, and parking.

Nat and Roksi were AMAZING! Very responsive and supportive from the time I booked until the time I checked out. They stayed in email contact with me to help me add an extra day to my stay and make arrangements to add a colleague to my booking. Whatever questions I had, they were there on the spot. The location is great! Minutes walk from the bus stop which can take you to the middle of Oxford in a few minutes or if you prefer to walk (which I did a few times) you can get to the center of town in about 25-30mins on foot. Lovely breakfast and 24hr tea and coffees! Spotless rooms and bathrooms!
