What a fantastic stay. I wish all theatre digs were this good. Easy bus into town or an even easier 30 minute walk along the canal. I Uberd back for around £7.50 - £9.00 each night. Sara and James were lovely and always up for a chat. The room is great with en-suite. Only downside is it’s a single bed but it was ok for such a short stay. Would highly recommend.

17th Mar 2026
James and Sara were great hosts, extremely friendly and accommodating. The room/loft itself is very comfortable and felt like you had your own space whilst also being able to use the kitchen downstairs was great. A lovely walk through Jericho to get to the theatres, which felt very safe at all times even on an evening after the show. Would definitely recommend.
2nd Mar 2026
A brilliant stay! The attic room feels very private and the bed is extremely comfortable. Sara and James are delightful and this has definitely been my best experience of digs on our tour thus far! It is a walk to the theatre, but the digs are worth the walk!
8th Feb 2026
The room was perfect and so handy having en suite bathroom as well as fridge and kettle / tea / coffee bits. Very quiet as up in the loft on 4th floor! Worth saying bed was very cosy and comfortable for me but would not suitable if you’re tall! Walk about 30mins straightforward route into town / to theatre. Quit residential area. Jericho good for en route food options
2nd Feb 2026
This was a perfect place to stay during my visit to Oxford. James and Sarah were friendly and welcoming. It felt like I had my own apartment space; my own fridge, kettle and bathroom. Warm and cosy. Home from Home. Xxx

These digs are wonderful. Lovely house and the attic space with ensuite all to myself. Clean, comfy and quiet. Lots of lovely local shops, cafes and supermarkets nearby. Calming walk along the canal into town. The hosts could not be more welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

4th Mar 2025
Really lovely house and people. It’s a nice 30 minute walk in through a lovely “village”. Clean and welcoming house. Definitely will be back next time I’m in Oxford.
28th Jan 2025
A really comfortable room with en-suite and tea/coffee making facilities. Free parking space was a bonus and the 30min flat walk was fine before and after the show. Didn’t feel unsafe and bus routes and taxis are available if tired. As it was tech week for my show our paths didn’t cross often but Sara and James were very welcoming and their communication before the booking was clear and quick to answer. Will definitely stay here again if going to Oxford.
27th Jan 2025
I had a lovely stay in this cute loft room in Oxford. Super clean and had everything you could need. Safe area, only a short bus ride to the New Theatre. A shame I couldn’t stay longer than a week!
13th Jan 2025
Had a lovely stay with James and Sara whilst in Oxford. Comfortable bed and a nice shower. Frequent buses at the end of the road which stop by the New Theatre, and finish after midnight for the return journey. Alternatively, approx 30 minutes to walk in. Had some lovely chats with James and Sara when our paths crossed. Would gladly stay again, thanks!
6th Dec 2024
Absolutely perfect for North Wall Arts Centre and rehearsals in Summertown, and so so helpful to have a workspace and storage. Sara and James were friendly and welcoming, and provided very clear instructions and easy access to everything needed. Would definitely stay again!

Had a lovely stay with James and Sara! Their home is lovely and the room with an en suite was perfect. Free parking was a huge bonus too! Theatre is about a 35 minute walk away but it is an easy route and easy to get the bus if you don't want to walk.
12th Dec 2023
James and Sara were absolutely wonderful hosts! The room with en-suite was absolutely perfect, such a lovely scenic location also. Probably the best ’living with host’s’ accommodation I’ve stayed in, couldn’t recommend anymore. Thanks again, Phil
5th Dec 2023
James and Sara's home is beautiful and in a lovely area by the river.
I loved the attic floor, with a fridge, kettle and en suite, and it was also very cosy and warm.
I didn't see Sara or James much as it was a busy week, however when I did they were both very kind, friendly and helpful.
Thank you :)
4th Dec 2023

Was lovely to stay at James and Sara's home. Very welcoming, warm and comfortable. Fridge and coffee making facilities by the room was a nice touch. Spacious room with an ensuite. James and Sara were very friendly and accommodating. If I'm ever back in Oxford I would most definitely stay again. Many Thanks
12th Oct 2023
I have had a wonderful stay in Oxford. The en suite room was fabulous and a perfect quiet haven. The 30 minute walk along the canal to the playhouse was blissful. Amazing hosts and I hope I have the opportunity to go back to Oxford so that I can stay there again! Absolutely perfect.
2nd Oct 2023
Mutual appreciation for our lovely guest Rebecca - friendly, considerate and discreet, thank you.
James and Sara are truly lovely hosts and make you feel well settled in. Room is great with en-suite just makes life smoother. House has got easy access to regular buses into Oxford and vice versa. Just over the road from Summertown which has loads of niche lil restaurants. Couldn’t recommend more.
6th Sep 2023
Impeccably clean and private room, lovely to have my own bathroom. Single bed is cosy. James and Sara were friendly and welcoming. The house is a beautiful and safe 30 minute walk to the New Theatre, passing through the lovely Jerrico. Lovely stay.
30th Jul 2023
Lovely, large room with desk and fast wifi, 30 mins walk to The New Theatre. Ensuite was great with powerful shower. It can get a little warm but plenty of windows. Fridge & kettle outside the door with treats which was lovely. Recommended.
3rd Jul 2023
A really fantastic place to stay. Top floor bright spacious, well appointed room with great ensuite. A ten minute walk to Summertown with a bunch of lovely shops, cafes etc. Great public transport making the journey to the Theatre safe and easy.
26th Jun 2023
Thx for a lovely review and we are glad you had a comfortable stay.
Thank you James & Sara. I have really enjoyed staying with you this week. The accommodation is everything that an actor needs on a tour and more. The car parking space is 'the icing on a lovely cake'. See you again, I hope.
