The smell of college lawns and old stone drifts through the Oxford streets at dawn, and The Burlington House sits quietly in the middle of it all — a proper guest house base for exploring the city on foot.

This one's for couples after a weekend of bookshops and museums, solo travellers doing the literary trail, or anyone who wants a comfortable bed after a day walking the Thames Path or punting past the Botanic Garden. They've also got camping pods if you fancy something a bit different — sleeping outside without quite committing to canvas. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing a four-legged friend.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so best to check directly what's onsite when you book. It's open all year, which makes it handy for winter city breaks or May Morning madness. Campfires are a maybe — ask when you arrive. The vibe is more urban retreat than countryside hideaway, perfect if Oxford's spires and stories are the real draw and you just need a friendly place to sleep between chapters.
