Lots of shops near by and places to eat. Rooms were clean and tidy. Parking is very tight (about 4 spaces available) but doable.

The property really needs updating badly. If this was ever a four star guest house, it isn't any longer.

Oxford Belfry Hotel & Spa
Staff not attentive and don’t ask how stay was or if any issues. Windows were had condensation on, and thin with outdoor noise. Pillows were flatter than tarmac and no extra pillows in wardrobe. Shower drenched floor and seeped through to hallway.
