Relax at this peaceful and central newly refurbished space within an old stone building in the very centre of historic Oxford with views of Oxford castle. Tucked away a quiet spot on the waterfront, the apartment is within walking distance of all the colleges, close to the bus and rail stations, Said business school and the Westgate shopping centre. Its the perfect location for exploring the city and a dedicated parking space is often available - please confirm at the time of booking.
Family oriented mum looking forward to travelling when time allows
Oxford is steeped in history and this place is right the heart of it all with views of Oxford Castle built in 1070. The site on which the building stands was originally a tenement yard of artisan bookbinders before the current building was constructed c1850. Everything to see and do in Oxford is within walking distance of the apartment. We are close to the bus and rail stations. It's easy to hire street scooters or bicycles in Oxford if you want to explore further afield.
