Only a short drive from the centre of Oxford, this modern home in Rose Hill places historical sights, traditional pubs and independent shops within easy reach. Ideal for families and friends seeking a family-friendly escape, there are four double bedrooms and a sociable open-plan living space to enjoy. The garden is a highlight during the warmer months, and the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking home-cooked meals. If work is on the agenda, you’ll find three desks, while the laptop-friendly dining table doubles up as a collaborative workspace.

Oxford Oasis

Nestled in a cul-de-sac in North Hinksey, this West Oxford home is an ideal base for a family or group of friends keen to be near the city, without staying in the very heart. Comfortable for four guests, this is a true home-away-from-home – there’s even an EV charger, which is a real bonus, while the compact garden provides a sunny spot to enjoy evening drinks. When it’s time to visit Oxford, it’s easily reached by bus, car, or foot if you fancy some fresh air. 

Oxford Blue

This apartment makes the ideal base for a well-connected city break. Located in Summertown, you’ll find it's just a five-minute stroll to independent cafes, restaurants and shops, while the city centre is just a short cycle or bus ride away. It’s worth noting there is no private parking here and the rooms are compact, but this is a sweet option for couples and remote workers with the nice addition of a terrace. There is also a sofa bed for two guests and complimentary toiletries are available to use throughout your stay.

The Poet's Haven

This bright apartment is under a ten-minute stroll from the heart of leafy Headington, with its various restaurants and cafes. It's also home to Headington Hill Park, a weekly farmer's market, and a huge fibreglass shark diving into a roof of a Victorian terraced house – random, we know. Beautiful Oxford is a fifteen-minute drive away – you'll be glad to know that this home has free parking for one car. Inside, there's a well-equipped kitchen for rustling up some delicious meals and a cosy living area. If you're a group of three, one guest will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the open-plan living space, though. 

Headington Hideaway

Small but functional, this apartment located in Summertown is a no-fuss base for a solo traveller or couple. When you want to head into the city, Oxford’s historic heart is only a fifteen-minute car or bus ride away. Parking is available on the premises, and the home has everything you need for a short break or longer stay – from a fully-equipped kitchen to a communal garden. Plus, your host provides a welcome pack stocked with essentials, so you can start living as soon as you arrive.

The Strawberry Flower

Just a few minutes from the university, we're not exaggerating when we say this 17th-century home places you in the heart of Oxford. Spread over three floors and with each room having its own ensuite and ultra comfy mattresses, you'll enjoy plenty of time to yourselves here. The unique design of the living area, where floral patterns abound, makes for a memorable spot to socialise, while the shared garden allows for alfresco dining – weather permitting, of course. As a bonus, two bedrooms offer views of Oxford Castle, while the excellent location means you can easily explore the rest of the city's attractions – museums, shopping, theatres and more are all a short walk away. 

When in Oxford

Steeped in history yet thoroughly modern, this Grade II-listed cottage is heaped with country-chic character. In the open-plan living space, a soft sofa invites you to take the weight off your feet – ideally with a cup of tea or glass of wine in hand. After riffling through the book-stuffed shelves, head into the carefully conceived kitchen to chop, season and assemble dishes as your hungry companions wait eagerly in the bright dining area. 

Outside, a patio garden filled with plants and birdsong is the perfect spot to sip an espresso before exploring your surroundings. A thirty-minute walk or ten-minute bus ride places you at the Ashmolean Museum, famous for its collections of art and archaeology. Stroll around the University Parks and Christchurch Meadow on sunny afternoons or broaden your history knowledge at Oxford Castle. When it’s time for dinner, check out the restaurants, pubs and bars that cluster around Summertown and Jericho.

Highwayman’s Cottage

In a residential neighbourhood just outside of Oxford, this apartment offers a comfortable home-from-home with great connections to the centre. There’s parking here, so you can easily drive into the city, or hop on the bus just outside the apartment. The patio may not be the most inspired, though it’s a nice option for morning coffee. Similarly, the kitchen is a little dated, but it’s well-equipped for nights you feel like eating in. That said, you’ll find Headington's local pubs and cafes within walking distance.

Oxford Olive

This family home is well-located to explore one of England’s most beautiful cities. Though parts of the house could be freshened up a bit, you still have everything you need here for a comfortable stay, including a nicely sized garden with a couple of seating areas – perfect for enjoying a family barbecue. Besides, you’ll want to make the most of what this historic city has to offer. A thirty-minute walk or twenty-minute bus ride takes you into the heart of Oxford, adorned with its iconic colleges, Gothic buildings and a plethora of eateries. 

The Fiddlehead

Right by the River Thames, this apartment puts central Oxford at your fingertips. Whether you're admiring the iconic spires, popping in and out of the local shops, or enjoying a picnic in Christ Church Meadow (just opposite the building), you couldn't ask for a more convenient location. Pocket-sized it may be, the compact layout works well for a couple or solo traveller. It doesn't lack style or thoughtful touches – a guest Netflix account, capsules for the Nespresso machine, and Bose speakers are just some of the included extras. The kitchen isn't the biggest, but that's no bother as plenty of restaurants are nearby. There's even underground parking – although you'll definitely prefer to explore on foot.

The Contemporary Academic 

Nestled beside the owner’s family home, this cosy cottage provides a welcoming retreat in leafy Summertown. From here, it’s just a twenty-minute stroll to the nearest shops and restaurants, while the centre of Oxford can be reached in just fifteen minutes by bus. There is free parking for two cars on the drive and you can enjoy access to a small private patio – perfect for evening drinks. Inside, the rooms are well suited to relaxing, socialising or catching up on work. You’ll also find a complimentary welcome pack with basic essentials included in your stay. 

Beneath the Trees

Built in 1916 as housing for English Railway workers, this modern townhouse now sits in a beautiful location near the river. Opposite the somewhat iconic Osney Power Station – the first powerplant in Oxford – it's also within walking distance of some of the finest bars and restaurants. The house is modern after a renovation in 2017, where the addition of skylights also brightens the home. The garden is a nice bonus here, where garden furniture and a barbecue occupy the deck in the backyard.
