It’s set in the lovely neighbourhood of Jericho, right in the heart of Oxford.

This home has a cozy sitting room with two large sofas, a mounted TV and everything you’d need for a relaxed evening watching TV with friends or family or reading a book. The cool furniture and the abundance of light make this the home’s best communal space, with the hardwood floor rounding up the ensemble. The home’s dining room is located right next to the living space and offers not only enough space for all your guests but also a great design. The kitchen has been recently renewed and comes fully stocked and ready to be used. You’ll find lots of books, art and the little things that make a house a home throughout. All the 4 bedrooms are of a good size and have comfortable mattresses, sleeping two guests in each room. All bedrooms are secluded and quiet, 3 featuring double beds and one with a bunk bed. The home comes with 2 comfortable sofa beds sleeping one additional guest. The home also offers high-speed WiFi and space to work, should you need or want to get some work done while there. You’ll feel right at home here. You’ll have access to the home at all times. Because the home comes with a key box, you’ll be able to check in any time after 3pm, but please be mindful of noise after 10pm. Please reach out through this listing if you have any questions, as I am always on call and available to my guests if needed. Right in the heart of Oxford only moments away from the Oxford University Natural History Museum, plenty of colleges and more, yet it feels like your far away from the hustle and bustle. The University Press, many Colleges, cafes, restaurants and bars & pubs are in walking distance and the homes is close to beautiful green spaces, this home is the perfect location for friends or family. The centre of Oxford is walking distance and you will be spoilt for choice where to look with Oxfords ancient heritage and beautiful academic buildings. You’re also never too far from Oxford’s great nightlife. Given the location of the home, most of Oxford's centre is in walking distance or only a very short drive away. You’ll also be able to hail a taxi or use Uber to get around. The home is spread across multiple levels and guests who have difficulties with stairs may find it hard to access the whole home. The parking space can only fit a small/medium car, and guests with larger cars will likely need to use pay and display parking around the neighbourhood.

If these rules are violated we will charge guests to cover the security call out fee and any additional expenses to cover their misbehaviour.

Clean, new appliances, easy check in. Only complaint was that it was advertised as 2 bath unit. The 1/2 bath on the ground floor was inconvenient to the bedrooms and not sufficient as all had to shower in the upstairs bath.

This is a great house to stay when visiting Oxford. Only a short 15 minutes walking distance from the city centre. Spacious, clean, tidy and the area is quiet. The only thing that I would point out though is that there is only 1 bathroom & a separate toilet not 2 bathrooms as mentioned in the description.

Très bon plan pour loger quelques jours à Oxford
A une dizaine de minutes à pied du centre ville, la location est sympa et très bien équipée. Chouette quartier également. 2 remarques : on annonce 2 salles de bains alors qu'il n'y en a qu'une seule, et la douche passe régulièrement du chaud au froid sans crier gare. N'oubliez pas non plus vos adaptateurs pour prises de courant, car il n'y en a pas. Pour le reste, à recommander !

Beautiful and Well Located Home
We loved the location and the layout of the New Cardigan home. Great space, very convenient to the railway station, and an easy walk into the center of town.
Two issues keep us from giving it Excellent marks:
1. The parking space is actually NOT an official space and requires one to navigate from the narrow street up and over the kerb (no dip or ramp) and into an extremely tight area between the house and a bicycle parking area. While doing so, I had an unfortunate and ultimately expensive encounter with a small metal sign post which scratched our rental car.
2. The heating was out, on what turned out to be the coldest and snowiest days of the year. The management was very proactive in fixing it when we called, but it took three separate visits and we spent an unfortunate amount of time bundled up and uncomfortable when inside.

I'll start with the negative: I did not knock off a star like the previous reviewer, but see why they did. The communication prior to our stay was non-existent to the point of concern. That is something that definitely needs to be improved upon--we were given so many names, we had no idea who our contact person was prior to arrival. That said, once that was all sorted, everything was wonderful.
The home is a bit off the beaten path, but is in a quiet, residential neighborhood, a pleasant walk to the center of town and away from all the tourists.
There was no "greeter," however, the key was left in an easy to find lock box (code provided), the house was immaculate, fully furnished, the bed linens were clean, soft and plentiful, as were towels. Amenities included free wifi, coffee, tea, laundry (and detergent), hair dryer and more. The addition of a "Handy" phone was a very nice touch--we did not end up taking it with us, but was a nice feature. There was more than enough room for our family of 4 and we very much enjoyed the living space. The one day we had a car, we easily found parking right out front. There was a nice patio out back, but it was December, so we opted to stay indoors when "home." There was a TV with Netflix and a bookshelf full of books (to which we added a couple).
In addition to the improvement in communication, my only additional suggestions would be to a) explain how to lock the doors (you have to pull up on the handle--not obvious to everyone), and b) have a few extra rolls of toilet paper on hand.
Overall, we loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone visiting Oxford and would definitely stay again.

The accommodations were as good as advertised. The house was clean, comfortable and well furnished. All the appliances and other furnishing are new or fairly new and worked with no issues. It is well located for being able to walk around Oxford. It is about a 10 minute walk from the bus station, and only a little further to City Center. The neighborhood where it is located is quiet.
The only problem we encountered with the reservation was regarding communication after the booking. It took several attempts to make contact with the property management. I was advised that this was due to a computer glitch that failed to send out the pre-formatted email after booking. Regardless, after the communication problem was rectified, the rest of the rental was very good. I would recommend this property.
