Quaint bedroom

Small but charming room. Tends to be warm on the rare sunny days, opening the windows helped when there was a breeze. Very nice and courteous housekeeper. Approximately a 5 minute walk to grocery store, 10min to High Street and 25 min to train station. Overall a great stay!

Idylic spot

The flat was my idyllic refuge for six months in Oxford. I adored everything about it, including the owner and manager so friendly and easy to deal with. I adored, thanks. Alex

Amazing location!!

This studio is in the best location in Oxford. My husband and I stayed 4 nights, and wished we could have stayed longer. In addition from being a very short walk from all of Oxford's historic and interesting colleges and museums, Folly House is right on the river, which has beaitiful paths on either side you can walk or bike on. Or you can take the cruise that leaves from Folly Bridge. The coffee shop that is right there was fabulous, and even had gluten free options. The studio itself was small (as advertised) but delightfully light filled and had 2 large windows. It was clean and comfortable and decorated with original art. The bios of the artists are included in the welcome guide ... so interesting!

The Perfect Home Away From Home!

We spent two and a half months at Folly Bridge House this Fall and absolutely fell in love with the place. We found our tiny studio Iris comfortable and charming, well appointed, and equipped with everything we needed. The two windows in the room made for lovely cross-ventilation plus fun views of the Thames immediately below. The location is an easy walk to the city centre and close to Christ Church meadow. We found Catriona attentive and Estera the housekeeper lovely and very committed to her job. We were so happy with Folly Bridge we will be returning in January for another long stay. Thank you!!

Folly Bridge Tower in Oxford

We enjoed our stay in the tower during our week in Oxford. From the tower you can reach every interesting point in the city within a few minutes by walk. The single room appartmemt is equiped with every thing you need for a week. Only the little bathroom with shower and toilet could have a better shape. The contact to the landlaydies was Perfect.

Lovely location with a great view

I stayed at the place for a month, the location is great. It is a short walk from city centre, the room is indeed very small but rather charming. I think the fact that the room has plenty of light and the air is clean is what made the difference. The host was highly recommended sponsive to our enquiries.

Trivsamt och fräscht i centrala Oxford.

Vi trivdes mycket bra i Studio Iris på Folly bridge. Det ligger centralt i Oxford, vi bodde på översta våningen, med en vacker utsikt över Themsen/Isis och den lilla trädgården. Rummet var inte stort, men fräscht och praktiskt inrett med bra garderober och en kokvrå som var lätt att använda. Vi är lite kritiska till att anvisningarna för städning var oklara när vi skulle lämna vårt rum. Dessutom var depositionen ganska hög, 250 pund, och det gick två och en halv vecka efter vår avresa innan vi fick tillbaka pengarna. Men huvudintrycket består: Personligt, praktiskt och trivsamt.

Perfect

My stay at Folly Bridge House was perfect in every way. The warm welcome, attention to detail and cleanliness, exceptional river views, spring garden, safe bicycle storage, and location could not have been better. Checking into this historic building held the best of Oxfords charm and beauty. Combined with this wonderful atmosphere was their fantastic art collection. I can't wait to return !
