Heather House, bed and breakfast accomodation, is situated within walking distance of the main street in Oxford. It is run by an Australian, Vivian Alexander, who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the local area and is able to give you insightful ideas about the best places to see in Oxford. She is a most welcoming host who provides a hearty... more

Thanks Vivian for this weekend. Excellent breakfast, room and service, and it was very nice talking to you. We truly recommend Heather House! Margareta Ekelund with friends, Malmö, Sweden more

Bus on street outside and 5 mins to city area but best to walk. Magnififcent walking paths in area and along Thames which I did each morning.

We picked this B&B based on the good reviews it had, but it was absolutely disappointing. We have been to a lot of B&Bs in the UK and are not too fussy. However this is a clearly overpriced place. The only good thing was the friendliness of the owner, who was very helpful and gave us useful information about the... more
