Boutique Cottages in Oxford

With its dreamy spires, ancient collages, immersive parks, and picturesque streets, it’s no surprise that Oxford is such a popular city for visitors. Home to Britain’s oldest university (it’s been in existence for 800 years!), it boasts a crucial setting just an hour from London with the River Thames flowing through it.

To stay in or near Oxford is to be intoxicated by its history and knowledge, where each corner is home to a hallowed college, where you can explore parks that inspired C S Lewis and sit in an ancient pub that inspired J R R Tolkien – you’ll become a part of living history!

There’s plenty to see and do in Oxford. A visit to the Ashmolean Museum is a must, whilst the extraordinary anthology collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum are just fascinating. Take a tour of the colleges where you’ll discover familiar scenes (the Bodleian Library and the stairs in Christ Church College appear in Harry Potter, for instance). Take a punt on the River Cherwell followed by a picnic in Christ Church Meadow for the ultimate ‘studenty’ thing to do.

Oxford boasts fabulous places to eat from high tea to Michelin-starred meals, whilst the incredible shops will satisfy the need for some retail therapy. A visit to the Covered Market is a must, where you’ll discover incredible fresh produce, unique boutique shops and tucked away eateries. It’s also a top spot for people watching. So for a unique getaway, book your own luxury cottage in Oxford and get dreaming…
