Newton House
Martyn was a gracious host and room. Ery clean and comfortable. I’ve rated it a 4 as we had to walk into Oxford for breakfast. Having said that, we enjoyed the Sunday morning walk. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Oxford Belfry Hotel & Spa
Not a bad hotel, but as usual let down by the slamming bedroom door problem! Strong self-closers on doors make them slam when people are coming in and out of their rooms late at night and early in the morning Why don't hotels recognise this problem and do something about it??!!
