Smartly updated B&B, spreading through two interlinked Victorian townhouses in Summertown, 1.5 miles north of the centre. The breezy reception hall leads to comfy, boutique-y rooms, styled in creams and greys offset by lime-green cushions. Some are rather small, others have desks, fridges and kitchenettes. Sculptures, fire burners and tiki-bar-style benches dot the appealing garden.
