Offering quiet street views, Sandfield Guest House is an accommodation located in Oxford, 4.2 km from University of Oxford and 16 km from Blenheim Palace. This guest house provides free private parking, full-day security and free WiFi. The accommodation offers a concierge service and private check-in and check-out for guests.

The Sandfield Guest House is lovely place and excellent to stay in Oxford. Free Wi-fi, clean and very comfortable room. In my opinion 10/10. Sandfield is located on a main road leading into Oxford, making getting into the city by bus very easy. Of course you can also walk to the centre - only 20 minutes. I stayed in the single room, which was comfortable and had a nice private bathroom accessible on the floor. Paul, the owner, is wonderful man. He welcomed me personally and explain everything to me in detail. I would recommend to my friends, and maybe I will come back here in near future:-)))

Located 700 metres from Oxford's historical city centre, Newton House offers accommodation with full fibre WiFi access throughout and on-site private parking (first come first served). A short walk away from the River Thames & Christ Church College allowing you to experience Oxford in comfort, whilst avoiding traffic and extra transport costs.

The warm greeting by the manager made me immediately feel at home although I arrived after his off hours and he stayed to greet me. We started a conversation that was quite amusing and highly entertaining. And I must say that meeting him was the highlight of my stay at Newton House. I hope you are fortunate enough to share a cup of pressed coffee and baked goods although it is not automatically included. Just a warm-hearted gesture from my lovey host. And yes, the bed was most comfortable and the room quite cozy! It was either a nice walk to town which I did on several occasions or the bus stop is right in front. It was a fantastic choice for my stay in Oxford. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

    Perfect for a 1-2 night stay. The university roads and local markets were a 10 min walk from the property. It was located on a section of Botley Road that was calm and quiet in the evening/night. A sufficient spread of breakfast options in a cosy dining/kitchen area. The small touches (chocolates in the dining room, freshly boiled eggs and cheese, biscuits in the room, etc) made all the difference. Biplab was a lovely host - Thank you!
