Cotswold Lodge Hotel

Oxford


A good-value hotel, in a grand Victorian villa half a mile from Jericho’s pubs and restaurants and 15 minutes’ walk north of central Oxford. Ten ‘feature’ rooms, in the main building, are named for Oxford colleges and abound in period trappings such as canopied beds; the rest, in a modern extension, are sleeker and more contemporary, but also more ordinary.
