History

Wycliffe Hall was founded in 1877 as a place to train evangelical clergy in the Church of England, and has since then expanded to take any student of theology. It started in the main part of the current building (54 Banbury Road), expanding to 52 Banbury Road, which was originally a convent, in 1883. The Chapel was added to connect the two houses in 1896 and is noted for its architecture and interior panelling. Other rooms have been added over time, including a dining room (now lecture room) in the style of a chapel in 1910.

Food & Beverage

Breakfast is served in the hall and is included in the B&B overnight rate (unless specifically mentioned otherwise). A selection of cereals, toast, yoghurt, fruit juice and hot drinks is available daily and either pastries or a cooked breakfast. Please advise at time of booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

Breakfast is served at the following times during University terms:

Monday - Friday 7.45am - 8.10am

Saturday 9.00am - 10.00am

Sunday 8.00am - 9.00am

Breakfast is served between 8.00am and 9.00am every day in vacations.

Guests are welcome to take lunch and dinner on weekdays in the dining hall (when open, usually in term time only). These meals need to be booked in advance, either with your room booking or by contacting the property at least one working day in advance of the meal to be taken, and cost £5 each.

Grounds & Gardens

Wycliffe Hall has a private garden, complete with garden furniture in the summer months. There is a children's play area, which guests with small children are welcome to use.

The University parks are a short stroll from Wycliffe Hall, with the North entrance located just across the road from the Hall.

Other facilities

Parking: Free parking is available on-site for all guests staying in Hall accommodation. Parking is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Absolutely fine. Great common room for relaxing! Liked remodeled fitted shower rooms. As water not drinking water in rooms would be good to have small bottle water!

A comfy room with en suite and, given the weekend booking with no staff on hand, the arrival and booking out procedure was all very simple.

Location great and off road parking. You must remember you are in student halls of residence, so don't expect a high standard of decor. 2 Showers were down the corridor. 1 toilet beyond a fire door. Limited self serve breakfast, sweet pastries, toast, wheetabix or cornflakes. Tea/coffee/juice. Can't...

Superb accommodation in excellent location with outdated fixtures and fittings entirely in line with the bargain price. Will definitely use again. If you're fussy about mod cons and decor, then this is not the place for you, but if you want somewhere comfortable to crash that isn't a tent in a lay...
