Choosing accommodation in Oxford
To take one or more of our tours, it’s best to stay somewhere in the centre of Oxford city. Ideally, you’ll want to be close to the Ashmolean Museum on St Giles (the pick up point for our tours departing from Oxford), and/or close to Oxford station to take one of our tours from Moreton-in-Marsh.
Next to each of suggested accommodation providers, we’ve shown the approximate time it takes to walk to/from our St Giles and Oxford rail station. Timings shown are based on average walking speeds according to Google Maps.
