Description

WRITER’S HAVEN & LOVERS' NEST This hidden gem lies in a peaceful enclave close to the High Street and Magdalen College*. It's the perfect base from which to enjoy Oxford and to explore Blenheim Palace, the Cotswolds, Stratford-on-Avon, Bath, England's wondrous gardens & of course London. The large, self-contained riverside studio includes a fully-equipped kitchen (with washer and dryer), living area with a 3-seat sofa, private bathroom (with great shower), double bed (with award-winning mattress), desk/table with 2 ergo dynamic office chairs and a private garden. Visiting academics have plenty of shelf-space & there is a large choice of books, games, puzzles, etc. for the amusement of all. Free wifi. Guest PARKING optional. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Forget queuing for the bus in the rain or braving the wind on a bike - you can walk everywhere from here (some guests even come home for lunch and a nap). You will have the advantage of being only minutes away from the High Street, university Colleges and Libraries, as well as from the London & Airports coach stops (there are frequent direct services to both). Also within a gentle stroll are fine restaurants and great cafés (including the best tapas bar in England), concert halls, punt hire, Botanical Gardens, the river Thames (where you might see crews training for the Henley regatta). Last but not least - a late-night supermarket is just around the corner. TRANQUIL GARDEN FACING MAGDALEN COLLEGE DEER PARK & ANGEL MEADOW A delightful added bonus to this property is having your own private riverside garden in the centre of town. Enjoy alfresco meals or write your memoirs on the raised deck, sip a Pimms' (typical English cocktail) or bird-watch from the comfortable double swing as Oxford 'punts' drifts by (a flatter version of Venetian gondolas). IF INTERESTED . . . PLEASE NOTE note that the discounted 4 weekly rate advertised is the LOW Season SINGLE occupancy rate. For DOUBLE OCCUPANCY RATES (or for HIGH SEASON rates - Sunday before Easter until October 1 + Xmas/New Year's vacation) : please write indicating your desired dates, length of stay and number of occupants and whether or not parking is required, so we can provide the corresponding rental rate. Couples are welcome. * Magdalen College is where Oscar Wilde studied and CS Lewis taught. The riverside walk goes through the Deer Park and is the most romantic in the whole of Oxford. All this on your doorstep.
