A great place. The studio flat is cosy, very comfortable and convenient with everything you need. The staff are extremely friendly, accessible and helpful. The location is right in the middle of so many places. Very easy to get to just by walking and right near bus stops aswell. 5 stars

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.

My husband and I traveled to Oxford this Christmas and enjoyed a lovely stay at the Acorn Guest House. The room had a nice king bed and an updated en-suite. The room had a beautiful big window for lots of natural light! …

Excellent stay at the Acorn Guest House! The Covid friendly easy check in and out is essential. Our room had a nice big bed and updated on suite! The room has a electric tea and coffee table with a little refrigerator. We were so happy that it’s convenient to our daughters place and a quick bus to the city center! We highly suggest The Acorn Guest House and we will return to stay at this lovely guest house! Thank you Jessie

Great location with free parking - about 30 minutes walk in to Oxford centre. Handy mini fridge in the room. Unfortunately no breakfast service at the moment. Only downside was that with the window open it can be slightly noisy but still managed a good nights sleep!
