Observer’s House

The Observer’s House was originally built for the Director of the Radcliffe Observatory. It is located within the grounds of Green Templeton College, next to the Observatory.

The building has a shared kitchen with fridge/freezers, microwaves, hobs, ovens and kettles. We provide a basic range of cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils and pots and pans.

Bed linen is not provided, just a mattress protector, which we ask you to leave on departure. If you require a bedding pack (duvet, pillow, pillowcase, duvet cover and fitted sheet) for your arrival, you will be able to order this after booking. Charges apply.

Rooms S2, S3, S4 and S5 on the top floor have restricted headroom. Do not book these rooms if you are over 1.8m / 6 feet tall.

Laundry facilities are located on the main site.

Scouts (Cleaners) work Monday – Friday and clean all communal areas, including kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and stairs on a daily basis. They will clean your bedroom once every two weeks.
