Here at Oxford Hotels and Inns we understand that your child’s happiness is paramount, but when screaming in the back of the car or the adjacent airline seat erupts, you strive to search for that sacrosanct inner patience you’ve hoped has sufficiently developed since you became their adoring parent.

We all know that school holidays can be challenging and either a learning wasteland or a learning paradise. The temptations are great for children to spend hours watching television or playing computer games, but with a little ingenuity and planning, the school holidays can be transformed into a great holiday in the British Isles, stretching their minds, exploring new hobbies, and building on skills learned during the school year.

Half the fun of a trip starts before you get there. Involve your children in the planning by practicing how to use a map to find cities and tourist attractions, and how to estimate distances. Research your destination in books and on the Internet. A family trip within the British Isles is a perfect opportunity to create a trip scrapbook that will be a lasting souvenir of family adventures. Collect postcards, brochures and menus from restaurants and tourist attractions.

At Oxford Hotels and Inns we have several properties ideal for families looking for adventure, both for active children and parents in need of a little rest and relaxation.

With special offers running throughout the year and during school holidays we are such there is an Oxford property just for you and your family.
