Red Mullions Guest House, hotel in Oxford

Red Mullions is a welcoming family-run guest house in Headington, excellently located for the many hospitals in Headington and the Oxford Brookes University. Central Oxford is a 10-minute drive away.

On the main bus route. Clean. Strong flow shower head. A couple of nonstandard UK outlets for which we did not have the proper adapter. Julie, our host, was very helpful in finding extension cords that would connect to the standard UK outlets that were also in the room.

First impression tidy, nice room/amenities for the price, location a ways out of the city center but manageable by bus or 45-min walk (did several times, lots to see and an easy straight line along the main road to get to shops, museums, colleges, etc.) Housekeeping service seemed attentive and tidy in both private rooms and main areas. Nice to have access to kitchen, back patio with some chairs, washing machine.

Beautiful home in Oxford, hotel in Oxford

Beautiful home in Oxford in Oxford provides accommodations with a garden and a shared lounge. This guest house provides free private parking, private check-in and check-out, and free Wifi.

This is a really nice and clean property in a quite street close to the shops, and city Centre. I liked the way they had it well stocked with basic essentials to make your stay comfortable. The only thing missing that would have been great would be to see a coffee machine. But there are lots of cafes in the area just a brisk 15 mins walk away.
