About this property

Stunning property in an enviable location in the city of Oxford

Beautifully converted 19th century stable block. The property is full of character and charm and is situated in an ideal and special location in the old part of Headington, next to Bury Knowle Park.

A short bus ride from Oxford city centre (2 miles), it also has the advantage of being a couple of minutes walk to the main Headington shops, all the main Oxford hospitals and close to bus links to London, Heathrow and Gatwick, whilst being in a quiet and peaceful location surrounded by greenery.

THE SPACE

The property has been recently converted to an exceptionally high standard and is situated in a fantastic location overlooking Bury Knowle Park, one of the prettiest parks in Oxford. The living space is all on one level, which makes it easily accessible. It will comfortably sleep up to 4 adults and a baby. The property is ideally located, only a short drive or bus ride away from the town centre and with easy access to both the M40 and A34. It is an ideal rental for visiting the city and also as a base to visit other stunning locations nearby like London, Blenheim Palace, the Cotswold (just to name a few). Also perfect for people that require somewhere to stay for a longer period of time if on business visiting Oxford University or any of the hospitals (John Radcliffe, Churchill, Nuffield or Manor).

Two nights near Oxford

A bit tricky to find, but once we did, our stay was perfect - charming and clean. Everything we needed was a short walk away in Headington, and Oxford was a short ride away by uber or bus.

Perfect Oxford location

Terrific location for two couples exploring Oxford, Blenheim, Avebury, Cotswolds et al from this lovely converted stable. Beautifully appointed and maintained. A quick and easy bus ride into central Oxford, and an easy drive to the ring road to explore further afield.

Oxford stayover

The house was lovely and well located in walking distance to grocery store and coffee shops. Also about a 15 minute drive into Oxford itself. It was modern, with lots of space, and very clean and private. The check in process was easy. Overall we really enjoyed staying at this property.

Perfect location for this beautiful property. Two local pubs, perfect for an evening drink and bite to eat. Short 5 minute walk to the local shops and the bus stop into central Oxford. Craig was super helpful and assisted us with everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Headington - we totally fell in love with the area.

Such a great stay

We loved staying at The Stables. We have a 7 year old daughter, and she had a fantastic time playing at the park across the way. It was the perfect location for us. Very easy to get into Oxford Centre on the bus, and it only took about 10 minutes. So many buses that came often, it was never a problem. The place was neat, clean and easy to use, and family friendly. We would stay again!

Our stay at the Stables

Very clean and nice - needs a tad atmosphere as per in paintings on the walls as its quite sterile and perhaps ice in the freezer, a small milk in the fridge and a small bowl of fruit like we get in the States as a real welcome. But apart from those finer details - it was all good.

This place was AMAZING

This is the cutest little place situated on a quiet street across from a fun park for the kids. The house was clean and tidy, large, and fit our family well. Craig the host was nice enough to see us roll in with kids and brought a bucket full of toys for them to play with. Both Craig and his wife were super helpful from start to finish. By the time we were done, we felt like we were leaving a family members house. 5 stars and more!

Good Location

Property was as described, easy to walk to supermarket, shops and restaurants and also the bus into Oxford. However, check in process was difficult. Check in was 4 pm. We got there a little after 4 and could not contact the owners until 5:30. They there was a big rain storm and water came in through the chimney and water was a problem, although the owners were home they never answered our call, just like the check in process.

Anne, thank you for your review and appreciate your comments, apologies if we didn't meet your expectations for this stay it is unusual and we do pride ourselves on being a very welcoming family and responsive to our guests requirements. Storm Babet did bring some unfortunate and torrential rain which was unusual and it now appears there was a small leak down the fire flue into the fireplace from wind driven rain down the chimney, however I am not aware of any communication regarding this during your stay nor was it identified to us on your kind note you left or when we chatted with you after the storm or before your departure, your review unfortunatley was the first we had heard otherwise we would of course have attended at the time living next door. I apologise if you found check in difficult. Dominique did come out to meet you personally when the intercom was pressed and you popped your head over the gate however when she arrived you had unfortunately left and there was some confusion over your whereabouts, we tried to call a number of times to find you and let you in but it appears your US number was uncontactable and I did let you in personally when I managed to get through to Mike. As you say the Stables is in a great location and we hope you had a comfortable stay. We acknowledge your comments and will look to clarify further in our pre stay details other methods of contact other than by phone such as knocking on our door, the VRBO app or email for future stays. I hope you had a safe trip home.

Headington Stables

Although the photo seemed "cold" the Stables was quite comfortable. The hosts were great (Craig and Dominique). The location was perfect for us outside Oxford in community called Headington. It took 10 minutes for the bus to go into Oxford proper and gave us the feeling of living in England. I highly recommend it!
