Upper Fisher Row is a canalside cul-de-sac located right in the heart of Oxford within easy walking distance of vibrant restaurants and clubs.  It is a great place to stay for a get-together, or for Christmas or a wedding, just use your imagination and find an excuse to spend a few days in Oxford.  This Victorian cottage sleeps 7 in 2 doubles and a twin, with an extra small single room with a Futon Company chairbed + a travel cot for smaller people.  It is fully equipped with linen and so on, and has a washer and a separate dryer.  There is no dishwasher, so you can eat all meals out or have a fun time washing up!
 
There is a washing line in the garden to save on electricity bills if you are so minded.
There are great walks from the house, to Port Meadow, up the canal to Aristotle lane playground, down the river to the Isis Tavern, or you can hop on a bus to Blenheim.  
Book train fares in advance using the firstgreatwestern link below and get Great discounts.  It might be worth buying a railcard if you are in the UK for long.
 
The prices quoted are for 6 people as this is the ideal number. If you are more than this, and you can be 9, you will be asked to pay a surcharge of £15 per person per night.

Further amenities

There is broadband WiFi access in the house.  There is also a TV, Video player and DVD player and the normal freeview tv channels. Hair dryer, radio, iron etc all supplied. Anything reasonable can be lent from my home, round the corner.

There are some maps and general local information leaflets plus an information pack will be sent if you book, with more local information you might need plus a whole lot you might not want but definitely need like parking (none at Upper Fisher Row unless you are disabled or really really need it) and refuse rules and regulations....
