Edwardian guest house on Iffley Road in Oxford, with simple en-suite rooms, a shared kitchen and free on-site parking.
About Acorn Guest House
Iffley Road runs south from the city centre towards the river, a mix of terraced houses and student digs, and it's here that Acorn Guest House occupies an Edwardian building set back from the street. It's a residential stretch rather than a tourist strip, with the sort of quiet that suits a straightforward overnight stay in Oxford.
Rooms are kept simple, some with their own en-suite bathrooms, and all with free WiFi. Guests can also use a shared kitchen, useful for anyone wanting to make their own meals rather than eat out every night. Some rooms look over the garden, and drinks can be brought up to the room. Reception is staffed around the clock, and free on-site parking is available, a genuine advantage in a city where parking is otherwise a headache.
The surrounding area has pubs, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach, along with entertainment options nearby, and golf and fishing for those wanting to get outdoors. It's a no-frills base rather than a destination in itself, well suited to visitors who want somewhere plain and central enough to explore Oxford from.
What guests say
The rooms are clean and well furnished, the showers are good and all rooms have access to a kitchen, wether it's the shared kitchen or the kitchen in the self contained flat. There are no bedbugs and the beds are comfortable. The staff are very helpful and kind. The guest house is no more than a five minute bus ride away from central Oxford.

Me and my partner stayed in this guesthouse as we were in Oxford to see a concert. It was beautiful, very clean and super friendly. Staff were incredibly helpful

A lovely place to stay if you are visiting Oxford. We booked direct by phone and got the last available room, which was classed as their economy room. We loved it and felt very at home there. Being an economy room it didn't have an ensuite bathroom but it was not a problem and it was pointed out to us when we booked. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the breakfast. Everything in the guest house was spotlessly clean and fresh looking. We will definitely book there again if we go back to Oxford!

Location is outside of the city centre, but walking distance into town. There are also busses or around £7 for a taxi. The room I had was facing the road, thus there where some constant traffic noise. I did not have the best of sleep during my three nights. It's simple, but have everything you need. Cleaning could have been slightly better. There where some spots that would have been very easy to clean, but have never been cleaned, like the outlet in the roof.
