Bath Place Hotel - 17th-century cottages in Oxford's historic center with private gardens

Nestled between New College and Hertford College, Bath Place Hotel comprises fifteen 17th-century cottage-style rooms in the heart of Oxford's academic quarter. This 3-star Oxford hotel features ensuite accommodations with digital flat-screen TVs, minibars, and tea-making facilities. A continental breakfast buffet, including Italian salami and fresh croissants, is served daily in the dining room or via room service. The property maintains a licensed bar and a guest lounge with a fireplace. Dogs and cats are welcomed in select rooms for £15 per two-night stay, while off-street parking is available at £30 daily. Located seconds from the Sheldonian Theatre and Bodleian Library, Bath Place Hotel stands 656.2 ft from the History of Science Museum and 984.3 ft from the Bridge of Sighs.

Pros

Historic New College bell tower, in continuous use since the 13th century, visible from select rooms

Adjacent to the Turf Tavern, Oxford's oldest inn

Private garden entrances available for some rooms

Original architectural features including exposed medieval walls in the dining room

Cons

Floors slope at angles and stairs are narrow due to the building's age

Limited parking spaces require advance booking

“The hotel's location, a stone's throw from the Sheldonian Theatre and Bodleian Library, is undeniably a draw, as is its claimed historical ambiance within 17th-century cottages; the continental breakfast and dog-friendly rooms are nice touches. However, reports of maintenance issues and noise from the adjacent pub give me pause; it sounds like a mixed bag of character and potential inconvenience. Proceed with tempered expectations, balancing the allure of history with the realities of its upkeep.”
