In a religious institution one expects austere small rooms, but not such a capacious desk and so much light. A perfect place to stay for a week (if you can get up and down stairs), with ample storage in sensible en-suite including kettle and shower, decent communal breakfast in hall, all an easy walk (or bus ride) from Oxford libraries. There's no porter or reception: check-in envelope only, but plenty of morning staff - after phoning was I kindly let in to retrieve personal items from a drawer.
