On Google Reviews, the property has a ranking of 4.9/5 with one guest sharing: "We could not have chosen a better venue - absolutely fantastic.

"Each floor with a large bedroom and bathroom, changing room with a large walk-in shower was perfect for getting ready for a wedding.

"The rest of the house was well kitted out and the garden, considering next to Westgate was secluded and quiet."

Another fan added: "Greyfriars was the perfect choice for our stay in Oxford, convenient for the centre but nicely tucked away.  The well-equipped kitchen made self-catering easy and the bedrooms were spacious and nicely appointed."
