Guest House B&B offers accommodations in Oxford, 16 miles from Notley Abbey and 28 miles from Newbury Racecourse.

Extremely clean and quiet, with all what you may need. We sincerely appreciated the warm welcome from the owner. It's far from the city center, but well connected with lines 1 and 5 both to the Railway Station and the city centre. The bus stop is really close to the house; just look at the map, because the path is not clearly visible from the main road.
