Grand Beginnings

Nestled in Oxford’s illustrious city centre stands this grand 17th-century home. As a Grade II Star-Listed building, every inch of the abode exudes luxury. Despite the rich tapestry and ornate finishes, this home is packed with mod-cons that make your stay extra special.

From starting off your day in the rainfall shower to sinking into the Vispring elite mattresses, you’ll feel pampered from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep. Two of the bedrooms even get a view of the famed Oxford Castle – you get the full royal treatment here. The other two get an equally lovely view of the shared courtyard – you’ll love nipping outside in the mornings, savouring a freshly brewed coffee while catching up on the evening’s news.

Although this characterful home gives hints of its long history, you wouldn’t know it from the super-sleek, contemporary kitchen. It’s been kitted out to suit a modern preference, tempting even the most reluctant of chefs. But if you’re sticking to your word and not cooking during your getaway, a private chef can take care of that for you.

When it comes to exploring the city, you’re steps away from Oxford’s most notable sights, although you wouldn’t think it from behind your tall security gates. Take a stroll along the canal, explore the museums, and finish off the day in a traditional, cosy pub.
