I recently had an excellent stay at Arden Lodge. The B&B is ideally located to get into the centre of Oxford, being only a short distance from regular buses into the city. My host was very attentive, with the room cleaned and beds made up perfectly each day whilst I was out and a very generous breakfast served in the mornings. It is very hard to beat for the price and I would highly recommend a stay!

I had a Saturday night stay, I was welcomed on arrival by the proprietor, Mr Price, the room and bed were large for a single room, all clean and tidy. The place was warm and quiet, Located on the ring road it was easy to find and has off street parking. There are regular buses into central Oxford. Breakfast was plentiful and lovely.
