Luxury self-catering Apartments

Folly Bridge House is one of Oxford’s iconic buildings. A crenellated Victorian tower standing on an island in the River Thames at the point of the original 900 AD oxen ford, it conjures all the romance of the city.  

This is the spot where Alice in Wonderland was invented by Lewis Carroll. On Folly Bridge, the 13th century philosopher and alchemist Roger Bacon had a tower. From the roof, the River Thames and the dreaming spires of the city spread out before you.

Folly Bridge House has an Eco ethos, using only eco cleaning products, and heating our water with solar panels - when the Oxford sun allows. We strive to find the luxury in a light environment footprint.
