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 Continental breakfast is served most mornings, including a selection of cereals, toast, yoghurt, cold meat, cheese, pastries, fruit juice and hot drinks. On Fridays, a cooked breakfast is served instead of a Continental breakfast. Please advise at the time of booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

Breakfast is served between 8.00am and 9.00am every day on vacations. During the term, breakfast is served at:

7:15 - 8:15am Monday to Friday
8:30 - 10:00am Saturday to Sunday

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: Limited parking is available on-site for guests staying in Hall accommodation and space can be reserved on booking.

Children: Children and babies are welcome to stay at Wycliffe Hall with their parents, but unfortunately the Hall is unable to provide travel cots or any beds other than those already available in the room booked. If you are intending to stay with a baby and bring a travel cot with you, please note it in your booking to ensure a room large enough for it is allocated to you.

We spent one day/night here Everyone that we met were welcoming and friendly The room we had was well appointed The shared bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained Breakfast was simple with limited choice but more than enough to start our day. Should we be considering a visit to Ox...

The room was a basic student room but had very comfortable beds. Tea / coffee and biscuits provided in the room. Good breakfast included in the price. Friendly, helpful staff.

Really great price, delightful staff, comfortable bed. Sharing a bathroom is not ideal, but that's the price you pay for such a bargain room.
