Self-Catering In OxfordWhen looking for accommodations in Oxford while in this university city your option are fairly endless. While there are plenty of hotels and B&B’s to choose from, there is another alternative that may suit your personal needs better. In this day and age, disposable cash is not a luxury many of us have, so finding a cheaper alternative to hotels and eating out every night is almost a must, especially if you are expecting to be in the city for any length of time. Self-catering accommodations in Oxford is that alternative route. There are nine main self-catering accommodations in and around Oxford. All of them charge per unit per week and the amount of people who stay there is not an issue. Staying in a self-catering unit can be considerably cheaper when staying with a family. For example, a three person family staying at the Randolph hotel in the middle of the city will pay £450.00 per night. That comes out to £150.00 per person, per night, regardless of the age. They also only welcome children ages 5 and older, so if you have a baby with you, you may not be able to stay there. Staying at the hotel for two nights will cost you £900.00 plus tax and services plus meals. But what if you are staying in Oxford for more than a night or two? And you have a small child with you? This is where self-catering options are definitely the way to go. Oxford accommodations that are self-catering usually start at £700.00 per week. There are no limitations on the age of the guests and some places offer the services of high-chairs, baby gates, and introduce their guests to baby-sitting services. Each of these self-catering apartments or homes come equipped with the most modern appliances, including a washer and dryer, and all the linens and towels are included. With the cost of groceries added to the weekly rent of the apartment, a three person couple will spend less money than if they stayed at a hotel. Staying at a self-catering apartment give you privacy in a home like setting. Other accommodations in Oxford may feel impersonal because you and your family are all jumbled together in one room. Anyone who has travelled with children knows how high tensions can rise when family members cannot have a little bit of ‘peace and quiet’. Many of the self-catering apartments have small gardens attached to them, giving children a place to play, or the adult family members a place to relax with a hot cup of tea. Since Oxford accommodations are also in the heart of some of the most beautiful countryside in Great Britain, staying at a self-catered establishment instead of a hotel or B&B allows you more freedom to come and go as you wish. You will be able to tour and visit many of the interesting villages, see the White Horse of Uffington, or even enjoy a performance in London, which is only about an hour away. Oxford accommodations give you the chance to view the beautiful Cotswolds and if you stay in a self-catering apartment, you will save yourself money.
