4-star Tudor guest house with free private parking in Oxford

Hotel Amenities

The Dial House Guest House offers free private parking on-site, a rarity for Oxford accommodations. The property includes a pleasant garden area for guest relaxation and daily cleaning services provided for all rooms. Guests have access to luggage storage and laundry services, plus fax and photocopying for business needs.

Accommodations

Each room at The Dial House is individually designed and offers en-suite bathroom facilities. Most rooms provide views of the stunning garden, and the hotel offers family rooms, twin rooms, and king rooms. Accessibility features are available for guests with medical visits, and all rooms include a hairdryer.

Location and Transport

The Dial House sits just off the A40, a 10-minute drive from Oxford city centre and a short walk from Oxford Brookes University. Frequent buses to the city centre stop right outside the front door, and direct coaches to London, Cambridge, and Stansted Airport are available from Oxford. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the John Radcliffe Hospital and close to shops and restaurants in Headington.

Dining

A continental breakfast is served daily, offering a wide selection including cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, cheeses, and toast. Guests can request cooked eggs (fried, poached, or scrambled) at no extra charge. The breakfast also caters to diverse dietary needs, with options like almond milk and soya milk available.

Family-Friendly Features

The hotel provides family rooms that can accommodate up to four adults, with spacious layouts and views of the garden. Children eat breakfast for free, and the garden offers a safe space for relaxation. Nearby pubs, restaurants, and a Lebanese restaurant called Beirut are within a 5-minute walk.

“My stay at The Dial House Guest House revealed a guest house that truly understands value, with comfortable, clean rooms and thoughtful touches like in-room refreshments. The real draw, however, is the incredibly convenient bus connection right outside, making trips into the city centre effortless and economical. It strikes a good balance, feeling quiet and well-maintained despite its accessible location.”
