The 4* Mercure Oxford Hawkwell House Hotel is a delightful 77 room property set in a peaceful setting 3 miles from Oxford City Centre. An ideal location for guests visiting the city, but preferring a quiet location. Surrounded by its own gardens and close to the River Thames, it is the perfect alternative to a busy city centre hotel. With good public transport links to the centre of Oxford, guests can take advantage of the hotels ample free parking and take 15 minute bus journey (the bus stop is just 4 minutes walk from the hotel) and avoid driving into Oxford to visit its many tourist attractions. As well as the many historic colleges for which it is world famous, Oxford is also the home of the Ashmolean Museum and the Bodleian Library. More Info.
