Where to stay in Cutteslowe
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Beds are scarce on this ground. Cutteslowe is a residential suburb rather than a lodging district, and anyone booking here trades proximity to central Oxford for quiet streets set back from Banbury Road. Field House and Summertown House sit among them.
Sunnymead and Water Eaton flank the suburb on either side, and most visitors base themselves in Oxford proper before travelling out along Banbury Road.
