Acorn Guest House

Oxford


Spread through two adjoining houses, the friendly Acorn offers eight comfortable rooms at very reasonable prices, close to great pubs and restaurants and a short bus ride from the centre. Single rooms and ‘budget’ doubles share bathrooms; en suite facilities cost just £5 more. Everything has the feel of a family home, complete with resident labradoodle Annie (visiting dogs welcome).
