I've just accepted a 3 month contract with a company which will see me based in Oxford on the 'Oxford Science Park' from Monday through to Friday. My intention is to stay in a hotel for 4 nights a week and just work my butt off so I can get away early on a Friday.

So, what to do where to stay, where and what to avoid?!

Any input appreciated as I do not know the Oxford area at all and it's about to become home!

You're between the frying pan and the fire there, Blackbird Leys to one side and a very 'police busy' Caravan Utilising Nomadic Traveller Site opposite. Depending how far you want to travel and what you want out of work, it may be worth you looking at finding a room through one of the multi-occupancy dwelling agents.

There's a science park email distribution list where people regularly offer and request accomo.

I'll pm you the owner's email address when I'm at home later. You want to avoid coming in from the A34 side ideally, can add much time to the journey.
