Located in the tranquil surrounds of Oxford, only 10 minutes’ drive from the hustle and bustle of Oxford city centre, lies Oxford’s best kept secret, Mercure Oxford Hawkwell House Hotel.
Boasting 77 bedrooms, each inspired by its location, this theme is carried throughout the hotel decor, with interiors inspired by the classic Oxford brogue and Oxford shirt. A story of Oxford life is told in this idyllic location, set among three acres of private gardens. The perfect setting to enjoy a quintessentially British stay in one of the UK’s most historical cities.
The main hotel was the birthplace of explorer, treasure hunter and polar medalist Francis Howard Bickerton in 1889. The hotel’s restaurant ‘Frank’s’ has been named in his honour.
The adjacent Elm House is the former home of British pilot and aerial photographer Major George W Allen. Now it occupies 15 stunning bedrooms and private gardens available for exclusive hire.
The Coach House has since become one of the most sought-after bedrooms and looks out onto the spectacular grounds on which these three beautiful buildings sit.
