About the host
Hosted by Linda Ramsbottom
My name is Linda Ramsbottom and I live with my husband David and son Sam in a nearby house in Headington. I am a nurse and David is a civil engineer. We have lived here for over 30 years and love the convenience of the area. We have been Vrbo hosts for some time and our priority is to do what we can to ensure that our guests have an enjoyable stay in Oxford.
Why they chose this property
This property provides a wonderful combination of convenience and peacefulness in a stimulating but busy city. The local shops include a range of food markets and cafes, and the transport links make getting around without a car very easy. There are also some exceptional public parks within easy walking distance that give an almost rural feel to parts of east Oxford. It is also close to the John Radcliffe Hospital and the other hospitals in Headington.
What makes this property unique
We love this property because it is green and quiet, yet very close to the facilities of Headington and a short bus ride (or 40-minute walk) into the centre of Oxford. The view from the large front windows is dominated by greenery and the path is only used by our immediate neighbours, so the front of the property is both private and beautiful. Our young granddaughter calls it 'the house in the forest'.
