Introduction
These
3 Victorian properties are available for short lets, from 1 or 2 nights, up to a Sabbatical let (8-10 weeks),but possibly
for longer.
They
are rented directly from the owner, so no middle-man charges, though obviously the shorter the rental, the higher the nightly
charge. They are all very conveniently located for all the attractions of the city centre, being within walking distance of
the bus and train station, all the colleges and departments of the University and other historical buildings and amenities.
Upper Fisher Row
is a cul-de-sac, overlooking the Oxford Canal and the Jericho property is backing onto Worcester College gardens, about 150
yards from Upper Fisher Row as the crow flies! The Coach house is also in Jericho, sleeps 4, shares the owner's
garden and is equally convenient.
Things to do in and
around Oxford
There is easy access to London via train, and cars can be hired in the city centre for
access to the Cotswolds and Stratford. Oxford has excellent theatre and occasional festivals from the Art Weeks in May
to the Literary Festival in the Spring. There are Alumni events at various times, and classical concerts to be enjoyed
in the Sheldonian theatre, Jacqueline du Pre room or the Holywell Music rooms.
Tours can be taken of Oxford on a cycle rickshaw, or pedicab with the company
Oxon Carts with whom you will visit the back streets of Oxford that so many visitors can easily miss. (see Links on property
pages)
Eating out in Oxford
Oxford has restaurants of all types and to
suit all budgets ranging from gastro pubs, to Raymond Blanc's brasserie. All cuisines are available and Jamie Oliver
has an Italian bistro within 200 yards of Upper Fisher Row. The Oxford Retreat is an excellent local restaurant at the
end of Upper Fisher Row, with an outside terrace and The Anchor Inn on Hayfield road is a personal favourite for its brilliant
chef and seasonal menu more convenient to Jericho but a lovely stroll up the Canal from Upper Fisher Row. The Rickety
Press in Jericho is vibrant, excellent food, slightly tucked away, so do seek it out. Sojo is an excellent Chinese round
the corner on Hythe Bridge Street. (Please see links on property pages)
