Paul was a terrific host. Very helpful, easy to communicate with. Headington is a great location to explore Oxford, and if you are a fan of Lewis and Tolkien, it is the suburb that they both lived in. Very nice to have a place to park the car while we went in to explore Oxford (in particular Magdalen College)

Paul, the host, is extremely kind and very helpful. The bed is comfortable...I slept like a log. The room and ensuite bathroom are clean and modern. I enjoyed the views outside the windows. Sandfield is close to many conveniences. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

High quality guest house, conveniently located.
I have just returned here and discovered it was recently refurbished. It was already a good place to stay and now is even better. The breakfast continues to be excellent and I applaud their commitment to sourcing goods locally. Not only is it a good thing to do the products they use are full of flavour and as you would expect of high quality. Very friendly and informative host. Highly recommended.

We are very fortunate in Headington with a weekly Farmers' Market which makes it even easier to source local, high quality produce... I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words & encouragement... I'll continue to strive to offer the best guest experience possible to give guests both value for money & quality service.

Perfect experience!
I have had a wonderful experience. The home is so cozy and authentic, it is very clean and very well located. The owner, Paul, it's the best! He is truly committed to give you the best experience and makes sure all the time that your are comfortable and your needs are satisfied. He cooks personally breakfast for you and is very happy to give you advices and help on how to move around, what to see and where to eat. I really enjoyed his breakfast area, where you can seat together with the other guests on a big table, sharing stories and laughs like in a big family. The location is great. There are plenty of shops and bus stops right outside of the house and it is very easy to reach downtown Oxford, either by bus (a few stops) or by walking (it is a long walk, about two miles, but very pleasant). This guest house is that kind of place where you go once and you will always want to go back!

Cozy and Friendly
This is a small place, so slow down when you get close or you'll drive right past it. There is parking on the forecourt in an area where parking is "Resident Permit Only", so that's important. Inside the place is clean and freshly appointed, and my bathroom was brand new. The WiFi worked well - better than in many full-sized hotels I've stayed at - and the breakfast was exquisitely presented. The proprietor was very friendly and gracious throughout my overnight stay.
