48 handpicked places to stay

Oxford accounts for much of the choice, and the city rewards a bit of thought about where you stay. Malmaison Oxford occupies a former prison close to the centre, while The Head of the River sits by Folly Bridge with the river on its doorstep. For something smaller, Oxford BnB and 4 Golden Cross Guesthouse put you within walking distance of the colleges and museums, and High Hedges Guest House and Lakeside Guest House offer a quieter base a little further out.
Beyond the city, options thin out but improve in setting. Bicester serves those visiting for the outlet shopping or passing through on the motorway network, while further into the countryside places like Lime Trees Farm and Sabine Barn B&B give a proper rural stay, and The Old Post Office suits travellers wanting a village address. Le Manoir aux QuatSaisons stands apart as a destination in its own right, built around one of the country's best-known kitchens.
