Perfect location for this beautiful property. Two local pubs, perfect for an evening drink and bite to eat. Short 5 minute walk to the local shops and the bus stop into central Oxford. Craig was super helpful and assisted us with everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Headington - we totally fell in love with the area.

Perfect Oxford location
Terrific location for two couples exploring Oxford, Blenheim, Avebury, Cotswolds et al from this lovely converted stable. Beautifully appointed and maintained. A quick and easy bus ride into central Oxford, and an easy drive to the ring road to explore further afield.

This place was AMAZING
This is the cutest little place situated on a quiet street across from a fun park for the kids. The house was clean and tidy, large, and fit our family well. Craig the host was nice enough to see us roll in with kids and brought a bucket full of toys for them to play with. Both Craig and his wife were super helpful from start to finish. By the time we were done, we felt like we were leaving a family members house. 5 stars and more!

Good Location
Property was as described, easy to walk to supermarket, shops and restaurants and also the bus into Oxford. However, check in process was difficult. Check in was 4 pm. We got there a little after 4 and could not contact the owners until 5:30. They there was a big rain storm and water came in through the chimney and water was a problem, although the owners were home they never answered our call, just like the check in process.

Two nights near Oxford
A bit tricky to find, but once we did, our stay was perfect - charming and clean. Everything we needed was a short walk away in Headington, and Oxford was a short ride away by uber or bus.

Our stay at the Stables
Very clean and nice - needs a tad atmosphere as per in paintings on the walls as its quite sterile and perhaps ice in the freezer, a small milk in the fridge and a small bowl of fruit like we get in the States as a real welcome. But apart from those finer details - it was all good.

Wonderful hosts, lovely place
The hosts are very helpful, responsive and friendly. The place is immaculate, well designed with plenty of natural light. It was so convenient being so close to grocery store or local pub (2 min walk each way). Headington is a beautiful area of Oxford. We really enjoyed our stay.

Such a great stay
We loved staying at The Stables. We have a 7 year old daughter, and she had a fantastic time playing at the park across the way. It was the perfect location for us. Very easy to get into Oxford Centre on the bus, and it only took about 10 minutes. So many buses that came often, it was never a problem. The place was neat, clean and easy to use, and family friendly. We would stay again!

Headington Stables
Although the photo seemed "cold" the Stables was quite comfortable. The hosts were great (Craig and Dominique). The location was perfect for us outside Oxford in community called Headington. It took 10 minutes for the bus to go into Oxford proper and gave us the feeling of living in England. I highly recommend it!

Oxford birthday celebration
The homeowners were super, accommodating and friendly. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in their beautifully converted old building just outside Oxford. The home is lovely, well equipped and comfortable. We used the local bus service several times to travel into central Oxford and wandered around discovering the history of the beautiful city, it’s fabulous architecture, friendly pubs and excellent restaurants, in particular we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at The Ivy for my birthday! Thanks for a lovely break!

Lovely Oxford Location
Very well appointed, newly decorated property(former stable block). Fantastic facilities, with everything we needed for our weekend stay. Would definitely stay here again, if returning to Oxford, which is highly likely. Location is perfect, in a quiet area(Headington), on the outskirts of town, but ideally situated for the short hop into town, and with plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Our hosts were very friendly and casual(they live in the adjoining property), and we felt relaxed and comfortable all weekend. Altogether, a very enjoyable stay, and highly recommended for us VRBO fans..

Very clean, spacious and well equipped, ideal location for Oxford city centre and local shops. Decor was rather minimalist, some cushions and soft furnishings would be cosier in autumn/winter, although this is a matter of personal taste.
