Excellent. Just what was needed!
A lovely warm welcome from Vicky and her gorgeous dogs. A sweet cosy “shabby chic” bedroom with a lovely view over her colourful garden. A shared bathroom but no problem and the treat of a delicious breakfast cooked by Vicky who seemed like a long lost friend rather than a land lady.

it was a very small room in a three bedroomed home. We had to share the bathroom with the owner and another guest. Far too expensive for what it was and not close to Oxford centre.

We loved our landlady, Vicky and her gorgeous little dog, Genevieve. It is a quirky property and you feel very much like you are staying in someone's much-loved home. It is all very relaxed though, which made our stay particularly pleasant. The property is ideally located for visits to Oxford's city centre. It would have been nice to have a TV in our room and the shared bathroom can pose challenges at 'rush-hour', but all in all, we had a lovely overnight stay.

More like a lovely little boutique hotel...
Definitely the absolute best value for money I could have spent locally. Vicky was very welcoming and accommodating and the breakfast was exquisite. I honestly can not recommend The Terrace highly enough. For the price you pay you simply won’t get better locally and you won’t be disappointed. When I’m next in Oxford this will definitely be my place to stay of choice.

Nice, quiet BnB.
Nice little B 'n B in a residential neighborhood. Quiet, calm. Very nice host and full breakfast. Nice breakfast. A bit of a walk to the University but not too far. Small room--as typical for Europe.
