Providing free WiFi, parking on-site and a garden, the recently renovated property of Sandford Meadow Guest House, offers rooms in Oxford, 8.9 km from University of Oxford and 21 km from Blenheim Palace. The property features garden views and is 31 km from Notley Abbey and 45 km from Newbury Racecourse. The accommodation provides full-day security and luggage storage space for guests.

The owner (Ric) was very kind and helpful. Beautiful house, lovely rooms, very clean, felt safe, and instructions were very easy to follow. Mimi (the cat) is very gentle and sweet. She only has access to the kitchen and outside, unless you let her in to the rest of the house. Naturally, we loved her so we let her roam freely through the house (when there were no other guests around) and she even spent one of the nights with us! Honestly such a great stay and would so easily recommend and go back. For breakfast, you're a 3 minute walk from Proof Social Bakehouse (pricey but AMAZING pastries, check opening times on google maps), and 5 minutes to the bus stop to go to Abingdon or Oxford (about 15mins to get to either). Thank you!! Luis & Rick

Overlooking the Queen’s College sports grounds, the Sportsview Guest House offers free on-site parking. Free Wi-Fi is available and Oxford’s River Isis is just a 5-minute walk away.

Rooms at this terraced Victorian guest house are spacious and individually decorated. All rooms have a TV and tea and coffee making facilities.

I liked that the property was easy to get to we are travelling around UK using trains and buses. The bus stops right outside it’s only 15 minutes into centre of Oxford. Property was clean with new carpet. Bonus was a fan in the room ti help combat the heat the UK is having at present. We didn’t have breakfast their as plenty of options in town The host was very pleasant to deal with and gave us a map of attractions.

    Memory is such a warm and lovely host. Her home is located in a very quiet street, about 4 miles from the city center which can be easily reached by the public transport. It is carefully decorated with a great taste for art and treasuring the cultural heritage. I feel very comfortable during my stay and would definitely come back in my next trip to Oxford.

    Superb little hidden gem. The studio was so very quiet, roomy, spotlessly clean, beautifully warm and cosy with a super comfy bed. I struggled with the gate lock but that's just me, honestly the instructions from the lovely host were crystal clear. It is just around the corner from the JR hospital which was absolutely ideal for me. Off road parking that is dedicated to the studio was again fantastic.
