Fantastic Oxford central B&B with a location close to the city centre, university colleges, Brookes university and the hospitals.
A lovely single room, shared bathroom with Oxford High Street only a 20 minute walk from this peaceful road off the popular Cowley Road with its array of shops and restaurants. Continental breakfast included and light use of kitchen as an option for longer stay visitors. Walking distance to Brookes University, Churchill and the Nuffield hospitals and excellent bus service to JR Hospital and the city centre. Wireless Internet included.
Very friendly place

For those who prefer a home with a soul, enjoy nice talks in the kitchen or in the garden according to the weather, Artist Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. Not too far from the city center, this very clean and cosy house is a welcoming place to come back after a day's work and Barbara is a terrific and cultured host.

My colleague and I really enjoyed our stay with Barbara. We had a clean and cosy single room each and shared a bathroom. Barbara thoughtfully asked what we would like for breakfast and chatted with us in the mornings. She has a quirky and warm home. Overall a great spot to stay in Oxford especially if you want to be in the vicinity of Cowley. Thanks and hope to stay again!

Back one more time to Barbara's cosy place. It's very nice to be welcomed as a friend and to share small moments here and there. The green room stays my favorite : peaceful, airy, bright with a big desk so handy when you feel like working. Although this time, the beginning of Cowley road was under repair, Artist's GH location was still easily reached without too much delay. Looking forward to my next stay ! Thank you Barbara and thank you Abodes of Oxford's team for your efficiency. Regards. DM

I had a very comfortable stay. The accommodation is clean, safe, and at convenient distance from the bus station. Barbara is a lovely landlady, and a perfect balance of helpfulness, warmth, intelligence, and humour. It was delightful to spend time with her, and in her wonderful artistic home. I wish to return again.

This is the third time I stay at Barbara's when coming to Oxford, and it is always with the same pleasure and the feeling of coming back home. The house is spotlessly clean and the garden and the discussions are pleasant in the shade of the wisterias. This is a very peaceful place to be back to, after a day at work and Barbara is such a nice and interesting person! Looking forward to a next time!

I feel very lucky to have found at a short notice, such a welcoming place! You can rely on the description given by Abodes of Oxford. The room and the bathroom were as described, clean and warm. Barbara is a smiling easy-going hostess with a real treasure : her kitchen. The location is a big plus : 3 stops from one end of High St., with many buses (even on the first of January!).
I'm really looking forward to my next stay!

Lovely cosy room and welcoming host - I will definitely consider booking the Green Room again despite the location being less than ideal for my purposes. Cowley Road is pretty lively and worthy of a day time walk to enjoy the fantastic street art. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed my days with Barbara. She is a very nice host. The room is very nice, big and quiet. The shared bathroom is very clean and warm. I liked the breakfast - with chats with Barbara -a lot. She offers a wide range of cereals, teas, coffees, yoghurts, fruit, juices and a fridge full of different other breakfast ingredients which you can choose from. The house is very good situated off Cowley Road, a street with very many different restaurants and shops. Busses 1 or 5 take you to town and the rail station. Many other lines bring you to the city center. Perfect situation outside the touristy center. I liked it a lot.

It was my first experience using a residential home for housing during my visit to England. Location, price and home was simply the best for my needs. Also, I enjoyed the personal touch Barbara offered. Certainly added to the wonderful experience I had. Without a doubt, I will come back.

I stayed for 40 days at The Artist's B&B . It is a very nice and cosy place, very reasonably priced and is located close to many important parts of Oxford. The host, Barbara is wonderful and she made me feel at home as soon as I arrived. We shared several evenings of great conversations and I would definitely return to her place on my next visit. Very clean, beautifully maintained, and Barbara goes that extra mile to make her guests' visit comfortable and memorable. I couldn't recommend it high enough!

I spent one week in Barbara’s home and I really enjoyed it.
Barbara is a nice and friendly person and in the same time she also respects privacy.
The bedroom is pleasant, the bathroom beautiful and the kitchen roomy.
I really felt at home!
To conclude I would recommend it.

Room is very tidy, clean and quiet. This guesthouse is located within walking distance to city centre and easy to main areas in Oxford, for example, Headington, Cowley and Ifley. The host is very kind and price is very reasonable. Wi-fi connection is no problem. This guest house is appropriate for both short stay and long stay in Oxford and I highly recommend to stay here.

I spent seven lovely days in Oxford and at Art Cottage Green Room. The house was very cozy with its beautiful small garden and not too far from the city center. My room was small but comfortable with all the interesting paintings on the walls. I already miss the place and hope to be back some day!

Tha place is close to the lively quarter of Cowley Road which, love it or not, provides good services at affordable prices (for Oxford). The house is a typical Cowley area residence, a terraced, oldish but characterful building adapted to modernity according to the individual taste of its present owner, a lovely and sincere former academic turned artist-painter who loves chating but respects privacy. The single room is smallish (typically British), but the nice garden view and the book stacks plenty of books provide a homely feeling for accademics and book-lovers in general.
great breakfast, lots of variety and high quality!
