Hague Blue

Escape the tourist traps of central Oxford at this smart apartment set in a leafy suburb that's just a 15-minute journey from the centre. While this serviced apartment may be part of a purpose-built, modern building, it feels surprisingly homely, and the Juliet balcony and shared gardens are a nice touch for any downtime. For local amenities, head to nearby Summertown's local shops and restaurants (half a mile on foot) or the bohemian neighbourhood of Jericho, just a 20-minute stroll away.
