“The building itself holds a certain Tudor charm, with exposed beams and a genuinely cozy atmosphere that feels right at home in Oxford. Its location is remarkably central, yet it manages to stay quiet, making it easy to step out and explore the city's historic heart. The beds here are notably comfortable, and the bathrooms, often featuring a standalone tub, add a touch of indulgence to the stay.”
