Dorset House

The streets of Oxford may be lined with historic buildings but they’re also overflowing with great food and excellent shopping. Live at Dorset House and you’ll be a 15-minute bus ride from eclectic student neighbourhood Cowley Road, where you need to stop at Rick’s for the best hot chocolate in town. From here, stroll to Radcliffe Camera, one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. And when you fancy company, the bustling Turf Tavern is one famous Oxford watering hole you can’t miss.

Based near the Headington area of Oxford, Dorset House is just a 10-minute walk from Oxford Brookes University and the frequent bus services will bring you into Oxford University and its colleges in the same amount of time. Residents and students of Oxford Brookes even get a free bus pass.

There’s no need to go far for the necessities with a supermarket nearby and friendly local pubs dotted around the area. After a long day at lectures, meet a big group of friends in Bar Meze, just five minutes away, to share their generous platters of meze, hummus and salads over a cocktail.

Head back to your ensuite room at Dorset House and relax in peace on your comfy bed or pore over books at your own study area. If you need to focus on a group assignment with friends, use the on-site communal computer lab. But living here is not all about hard work. When you’re finished for the night, head to the modern, fully-fitted kitchen complete with big sofas and a flat screen TV. Cook up a storm with housemates or relax with snacks in front of the latest boxset.

Safe and very secure, Dorset House also has CCTV and free contents insurance for peace of mind. Plus with free Wi-Fi, a laundry and on-site maintenance team you won’t have to worry about a thing.
