Whiskers

Explore the historical city of Oxford from this family home – the striking architecture, pubs and shops are just a ten-minute drive or bus ride away. Situated in the village of Botley, this quiet bungalow offers a private garden and dining patio, a conservatory, and driveway parking for up to two cars. It's also a great option for those with limited mobility thanks to it all being on one level too. While the decor isn't particularly homely or unique, all three bedrooms are bright and well-kept, and the modern living room offers a log burner for those greyer afternoons curled up on the sofa.

Home truths:
*There's free parking on the driveway for up to two cars, as well as on-street parking just outside the house.
*This is a detached bungalow, so it's ideal for those who struggle with stairs.
*The decor isn't the most inspired, but it's modern and spacious.
*There's a desk in the main bedroom for those looking to catch up on work during their stay.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
