Remont

Oxford


All modern style, subtle lighting and ultracolourful furnishings, this boutique guesthouse holds 25 varying rooms decked out in cool neutrals with silky bedspreads, abstract art, vibrant bedheads, writing desks and huge TVs. There’s a sunny garden and roomy breakfast hall out back. It’s 2.5 miles north of the centre, in an inconspicuous residential setting, but there’s good public transport.
