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

    Andrew is a brilliant host. The room is spacious and really quiet. The location is close to the city centre and there's a nice walkway along the river that takes you there.

    Lovely house in a quiet neighbourhood with a great host. I spend two weeks with Melody and I really felt at home. With the busses it‘s quite fast to reach the city centre (especially if you‘re used to living in bigger cities) or — if you feel sporty — you can walk a 45 minutes through the fields of port meadow among the oxen’s. I really liked it!

    Excellent location. Short walk into Oxford and for the New Theatre. Staff were great hosts. Food was excellent. Quiet location - we've stayed in central Oxford before and it can be very noisy (sirens and revellers). This was ideal. Lovely old building. Room was clean, comfortable and great location - short walk into the city centre and all the sight seeing you want.

    Very nice studio in a great location. The studio was clean and very comfortable, during the night it was very quiet even though it is rather close to a busy road. It is within walking distance of the city centre. Overall it had a very high standard for Oxford accommodation and great value for money. Friendly and very helpful host! We would definitely stay here again.

    Green Gables guesthouse is a home from home experience. Mr & Mrs Bella are fantastic hosts, lovely interaction with guests. Breakfast was great & room was exceptionally clean. Great location & only a 10 minute bus ride to Oxford City Centre. The bus stop is outside the property. My husband & myself will definitely stay here again & would recommend a visit.

    Great location: easy walking distance to the city centre, but in a quiet residential area. Andrew (the host) was terrific to us-- helpful and understanding--and he even went out of his way to get us complimentary tickets to the football match! The apartment was spacious and comfortable with plenty of light.
