This is a stunning little cabin tucked away in a quiet part of Oxford, the theatre is a gorgeous 45 minute walk down the river or a very easy and regular bus ride in to town. The cabin has everything you could need but Lizzy is always on hand if you need anything. Will definitely be staying again next time I am in Oxford!!!
12th Jul 2026
Lovely escape, with great amenities, feels like a little holiday home of your own. Easy transport into town, Lizzy was super helpful (even tho only met on my way out!). Could not reccomend enough
9th Jun 2026
Thank you for such a lovely review Sophie! And for keeping the cabin in such a good condition. It was a delight to host you!
Lovely place to stay. Has everything you need. Communication was easy. Gorgeous walk in to the theatre along the river, but the buses run late into the evening or there always taxis. I'd definitely stay again.
23rd May 2026
A delightful and cosy cabin with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A 10 minute bus ride into town but the 30 minute walk in along the river is really lovely. The hosts leave you to yourself but are equally friendly and communicative. Would definitely recommend
20th Apr 2026
Thank you for such a lovely review Caroline. And for stripping the bed before you left! So appreciated. Lovely to meet you. Loads of luck for the rest of the tour x
Great week stay - everything you need in a well designed space. Lovely walk down the river to the New and easy bus ride back. Will stay again next time in Oxford, thank you!
8th Apr 2026
Thank you for your lovely review Ellie!
Loved staying with Lizzy and her lovely family! The cabin was incredibly cosy, even during a storm, and was incredibly easy to get into central Oxford / New Theatre. Will definitely stay again!
17th Mar 2026
Thank you for a lovely review Laura. So glad you had a great stay!
Lovely little garden cabin - well appointed, warm and comfortable with an excellent library to keep you entertained. Lizzy and her family and very friendly as is the neighbours ginger cat! Located on a quiet, pleasant street within walking distance of tesco local. I didnt take the river walk into town due to poor weather, but there are local buses. An uber costs £20 for an 11 min journey, so best avoided!
2nd Feb 2026
Thank you for your lovely review Cat!
I found our recently that Uber charges double what the local taxi company, Royal Cars charges which is super cheeky - just a heads up for other guests X
What a stunning find! Such a cute cabin hide away! Had everything you needed to feel like your home from home, and the bed is really comfortable!
Around a 30 min walk to the theatre or taxis are around £10
Lizzy was a great host and good communication but left you to your own devices.
Loved it!
16th Dec 2025
Thank you for your lovely review Jordan! So glad you enjoyed the cabin.
A charming and cosy cabin, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac. Small but perfectly formed- the space is well-equipped and roomy for one person. So lovely to have private space all to yourself! Friendly and helpful hosts, & Lizzy was always quick to reply to messages! Regular buses run into the city centre, and only take about 10mins. The perfect base for working & exploring in the heart of beautiful Oxford!
7th Dec 2025
Thank you for your lovely review William. So glad you enjoyed the cabin.
I had the most wonderful stay. Completely recommend to anyone visiting any theatre in Oxford as bus routes are really easy. This a gem of a place to stay!
3rd Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review Jordan! Really appreciated. And very glad you had a good stay
Pleasant stay in Lizzy's cabin in the garden. Well-equipped, very warm (I had to turn the heating down!), a nice walk into town along the river and bus back that runs late at night. I was glad of the note warning of occasional apples landing on the roof from the tree above - still made me jump!
15th Oct 2025
I wish I could take these digs with me everywhere! What a beautiful, peaceful place to spend a week! Exactly as listed and so lovely. Thank you Lizzy for everything!
13th Oct 2025
Thank you so much for such a lovely review Lauren. So glad you liked the cabin! Have a fab rest of the tour
Absolutely loved staying in this sweet little doll’s house in the garden. Very clean and comfortable and a lovely walk to work beside the river.
23rd Jun 2025
Thank you for your lovely review Belinda! It is much appreciated and we loved having you stay
An other glorious stay in my favourite Oxford retreat!
Lizzie & Nick have this set-up perfectly. Waking to birdsong & no traffic is such a tonic!
On the out skirts of the city, here you can genuinely forget where you are. The peace is wonderful.
A lovely 40 min walk along the water to get to the theatre & a very easy & safe (basically straight) road to tread en route home (if you so choose)
Always my first choice while in Oxford. This cabin has everything you need & is immaculate. Thank you 🙏
28th Apr 2025
Thank you so much for such a lovely review Claire. Was a pleasure to have you stay again!
Lovely little find!
Everything you need and a lovely 35-40 minute walk into work, easy to get back at night using scooters, takes maybe 10-15 minutes.
Would love to stay again in the future!
19th Oct 2024
Such a gorgeous stay, it felt like I was on holiday!! Such a lovely spacious cabin , really private and has everything you need.
The walk along the river to the theatre is so beautiful.
Thanks for having me Lizzy.. can’t wait to return!
7th Oct 2024
Thank you for such a lovely review Callum and for being such a delight to host!
I had a wonderful stay in this glorious cabin!
Lizzy was very communicative & it felt like a very private escape. With my own enterance, kitchenette, bathroom, sofa & desk space I had everything I needed for a lovely week.
It is a 40 min walk to the theatre but it's very easy. Either via the road (at night) or river walk way when it's a nice day.
It was a real tonic to a mad work week. A joy to return to. I will certainly be back in the future.
14th May 2024
Thank you so much for such a lovely review Claire. I was sorry not to be around to say goodbye when you checked out but so glad that you had a good escape! Good luck with the rest of the tour.
Everything was excellent in the Cabin! Easy location to get into the centre, everything I needed inside and was very cosy and happy! Would love to stay again! Many thanks.
26th Apr 2024
Really lovely digs, warm, clean and comfortable. Lizzy was friendly and communicative too. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
16th Mar 2024
What a lovely stay with Lizzy in her gorgeous cabin in her garden. It was very cosy, peaceful and had everything i needed and it even felt like a little getaway. Lizzy was very welcoming and check in and out was super easy. There's even a lovely 30 minute walk along the canal into the city centre to top it off. I will certainly come back and stay again.
11th Mar 2024
Thank you Nathan! So lovely to have you stay
This place is gorgeous! Felt really high end and whilst it’s above budget for most actors, I decided to treat myself on this occasion and I’m glad I did. So many lovely details, and much warmer than I expected it to be due to the underfloor heating.
The only thing that would improve it would be a way to wash clothes - even if you’re only staying one week it becomes necessary to do laundry unless you’re able to tour your whole wardrobe! The WiFi also dipped a little at times if that bothers you.
12th Feb 2024
Thank you for your review Lucie-Mae!
So glad you liked the cabin!
We are really happy to do laundry for guests- must make that clear on the listing.
Sorry to hear about the WiFi dipping as well - will look into that.
Good luck for the rest of the tour!
Lizzy was an excellent host! The cabin was really nice, had everything I needed for a two week stay and was incredibly comfortable. Really easy to get into town but also nice to retreat out of the busyness. We had some cold weather but the heating system worked well and I was cosy throughout my stay. Very comfy bed and nice facilities. Would love to stay here again and a big thanks for Lizzy for being so good with communication and simplifying the process.
3rd Jan 2024
Thank you for such a lovely review Wilkie. We loved having you to stay!

Thank you for such a lovely review Emily. So glad you enjoyed your stay x
I had a lovely couple of days in the cabin. It was very quiet and clean. I loved it and hope to return soon
9th Oct 2023
Lizzy was a fantastic host and her cabin was quite possibly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed! She was so accommodating and even with two of us in the cabin, we had plenty of room!
Super modern and great location for walking to New Theatre Oxford!
Can’t wait to stay again!
29th Sep 2023
Had a great stay. Its a beautiful little cabin with everything you need. Its a couple if miles walk into town on the way back i used a scooter ! Parking was great. Would definitely stay again had a great week
18th Sep 2023

14th Jul 2023
Thank you for such a lovely review Eleri! We certainly hope to host you again one day
Absolutely amazing! Feels like a little oasis. A bit of a journey to the theatre but very worth it for rest and relaxation.
8th May 2023
Thank you Lewis. So glad you found the cabin to be an oasis!
I had a great stay in the cabin! It was well equipped with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Lizzy had great communication with me prior to check in and throughout my stay - which was very appreciated! Thanks again to Lizzy and Nick x
12th Mar 2023
Thank you for your lovely review Effie. We are so glad you had a lovely time. Come back again! x
Wonderful garden cabin has everything you need. Lizzy and Nick are very friendly and communication was super easy. I’d go back there any time.
27th Feb 2023
Thank you so much for your lovely review Marcin. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay!
The cabin was bright & clean with heating, wifi & a new bathroom. It had an independant entrance which was very convenient. The whole family was really nice & helpful. The bus stop to go to the city center is a few minutes away. I would recommend!
16th Feb 2023
I've just had wonderful 4 weeks stay in Lizzy and Nick's superb cabin which I suggested should be renamed The Sanctuary. Short bus journey into town.The cabin is warm, comfortable and has everything you could wish for and more. 10/10.
2nd Jan 2023
Thank you Dan! We are so glad you enjoyed staying with us. It was lovely to host you.
Absolutely loved staying in this gorgeous cabin while working at the New Theatre in Oxford. Beautifully decorated and super cosy! The cabin has everything that you need for your stay and travelling into the centre is very easy. Highly recommended!
9th Dec 2022
I had such a lovely stay in the cabin! It was so cosy and comfortable and Lizzy and her family were such friendly hosts! Easy walk or bus ride into the city centre - would highly recommend!
29th Nov 2022
Lizzy and her lovely family were so wonderful! The cabin is gorgeous and I would highly recommend.
21st Jan 2020
Lovely stay. Nice walk along river to theatre and good bus route. Amazing bed slept very well. Highly recommended.
26th Aug 2019
So glad you had a good stay Mark. And thank you for looking after the place. Hope the rest of the tour goes really well. Lizzy
I really enjoyed my stay in Lizzy and Nicks cabin. The bed was so comfortable and their family home was lovely. Only thing I would warn to guests is that the WiFi for the cabin is the WiFi for the home so for me, I struggled to connect to it.
3rd Jul 2019
An all round amazing stay. I would highly recommend staying with Lizzy and her partner. The cabin was nice and warm no issues and really comfortable to stay in. Just a shame I didn’t get to talk to them more as they seemed very interesting
24th Jun 2019
Thank you for your lovely review Luke! It was a pleasure having you stay.
Really beautiful room! Great hosts, and gorgeous walk into town along the canal.
22nd Apr 2019
Had a lovely time with Lizzy and Mark very nice chalet in the garden which meant I could make full use of it which was very pleasant. Nice house and bathroom highly recommended
21st Apr 2019
Thank you for your review Sebastian. It was lovely to have you stay! Good luck with the rest of the tour.
Friendly and helpful pair with sweet little boy and gorgeous pets. The cabin is perfectly comfortable, provided you are happy to be separated from the facilities.
3rd Apr 2019
Perfect digs. Lovely people. Thanks guys.... highly recommend x Ross
19th Jan 2019
Lizzy and Nick are perfect hosts - welcoming and relaxed. Despite the fact that I stayed through most of December, the (very sophisticated) shed was warm and comfortable. I would definitely stay again if I were working in Oxford.
2nd Jan 2019
Had a great stay at Nick and Lizzy’s. They were very welcoming and had a lovely home. I stayed in the cabin in the garden which was clean, warm and quiet. Only a 10 minute cycle to the Oxford Playhouse, which was perfect.
19th Nov 2018
Stayed with Lizzie and Nick for almost 2 months and they could not have been more friendlier hosts.
The bed is extremely comfy and the room is a perfect temperature; room is complete with a desk and chair to do any working at. Shower is reliable and easy to use.
Lovely, welcoming atmosphere to the house.
Also, if you're not a driver, the bus into town stops right at the end of the road and is only a 10 minute scenic journey right to the High Street.
Will definitely be looking to stay here first should I return to Oxford!
Thank you guys.
12th Jan 2016
I just stayed one night, but the bed is comfy, the shower is good and Nick and Lizzy are really nice.
It's a lovely house and a beautiful walk along the river into town.
Will definitely stay here again.
