Providing free WiFi, parking on-site and a garden, the recently renovated property of Sandford Meadow Guest House, offers rooms in Oxford, 8.9 km from University of Oxford and 21 km from Blenheim Palace. The property features garden views and is 31 km from Notley Abbey and 45 km from Newbury Racecourse. The accommodation provides full-day security and luggage storage space for guests.

The owner (Ric) was very kind and helpful. Beautiful house, lovely rooms, very clean, felt safe, and instructions were very easy to follow. Mimi (the cat) is very gentle and sweet. She only has access to the kitchen and outside, unless you let her in to the rest of the house. Naturally, we loved her so we let her roam freely through the house (when there were no other guests around) and she even spent one of the nights with us! Honestly such a great stay and would so easily recommend and go back. For breakfast, you're a 3 minute walk from Proof Social Bakehouse (pricey but AMAZING pastries, check opening times on google maps), and 5 minutes to the bus stop to go to Abingdon or Oxford (about 15mins to get to either). Thank you!! Luis & Rick

Great place to stay in Oxford. Room and bathroom were squeaky clean, beds were comfortable. Our room was right next to reception, but it was very quiet. Breakfast is continental, simple but delicious - if it's not included in your rate, you need to book it in advance. Staff was very helpful and late arrival and self-check-in - easy. Communication with the property was great. It's outside the old town, but fairly close - we walked everywhere. We'd happily stay at Sportsview Guesthouse again.

    Perfect for a 1-2 night stay. The university roads and local markets were a 10 min walk from the property. It was located on a section of Botley Road that was calm and quiet in the evening/night. A sufficient spread of breakfast options in a cosy dining/kitchen area. The small touches (chocolates in the dining room, freshly boiled eggs and cheese, biscuits in the room, etc) made all the difference. Biplab was a lovely host - Thank you!
