Tower House Guest House occupies a 17th-century building on a quiet, traditional street, featuring original wooden ceiling beams, low ceilings, and tight corridors. The deluxe rooms are built into Oxford's original city walls, offering king-size double beds and vintage-style furniture. Free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities are available in all rooms, along with access to a communal living room with leather armchairs. Located a five-minute walk from New Theatre and the Covered Market, it sits opposite Jesus College and is near the Museum of the History of Science. Families can request extra beds, while anglers may explore nearby fishing opportunities. The property includes safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers. Breakfast is not served on-site, but multiple cafés and restaurants are within a short walk.

Pros

The building retains original 17th-century features, including wooden beams and stone floors.

Central location provides easy access to landmarks like the Covered Market and University of Oxford colleges.

Several room types are available, including spacious deluxe rooms built into the historic city walls.

Free Wi-Fi and tea/coffee facilities are provided in all rooms.

Cons

“In the heart of town, this guesthouse impressed me with its prime location, steps away from the university colleges and city center. The ancient building exudes charm, and the clean, well-appointed rooms provide a comfortable stay, perfect for exploring Oxford. In my opinion, it's a worthwhile choice for those seeking both convenience and character.”
