History to the present day

Lady Margaret Hall was founded in 1878, the first of the Colleges for women at Oxford, and named after Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII and patroness of learning. In 1978 it became co-educational. It is proud both of its long tradition of academic excellence in women's education, and of its success since 1978 as a College open equally to women and men. It provides an outstanding, distinctive education for approximately 600 students, and its Fellows undertake research of international importance in Science, the Humanities, Social Science, and Medicine.

The College buildings date from a variety of periods between the mid-Victorian and the early 1970s, and include work by major architects such as Basil Champneys, Sir Reginald Blomfield, Giles Gilbert Scott, and Raymond Erith.

We guarantee that all our feedback is genuine and can only be submitted by people who have booked through our websites.

maureen zelzer, July 2010: room spotless and on arrival assistance by gentleman at the lodge was very good. Couldn't work out how to get breakfast so gave it a miss (no problem as don't need a big meal so early) parking is brilliant. I would use this service agai and recommend it to other guides

Murdith McLean, July 2010: Price is a bit high for the standard of room, but we found the accommodation good and the breakfast excellent. Porters at the lodge were extremely helpful.

Mariangela Samuda, July 2010: Easy and straightforward booking on line. LMH is a real gem of a place, with its beautiful gardens and quiet surroundings. The room was larger than I thought, very clean, with no frills but the essential (which was exactly what I was after) and extremely peaceful. The bed was confortable and I managed to have a good, uninterrupted sleep. The area is residential and I felt very safe coming back late at night. The dining hall is imposing and stupendous and the breakfast substantial and very good. The staff very friendly and helpful. A great experience to be repeated, hopefully, shortly.

Ben Ashmore, July 2010: Gentlemen at gatehouse was extremely helpful. Lovely stay

Paula McReelis, July 2010: A really great experience to stay in college accomodation,would recommend to others.

Arlene Ryan, July 2010: I loved staying in LMH @ Oxford. It was in a good location for visiting the city and easily accessable. The only down side was the size of the pod bathroom - however it was fully functioning and clean. - Just not quite what I expected. Would definately stay again - wonderful city!!

Terry Cowling, July 2010: The cubicle containing the en-suite facilities - wash basin, wc and shower - was extremely small. The gardens are lovely.

A. Kathryn Fern, July 2010: Enjoyed my stay very much. Spacious room, and super breakfast. LMH's setting on the river and beside the university parks is excellent - peaceful and pleasant.

Marian Kirkpatrick, April 2010: Ideal in all respects, perfect location, beautiful setting, peaceful and tranquil.Helpful, friendly porters with a relaxed approach. A wonderful break in every respect made more special because the sun decided to shine too. Many thanks, I would certainly do it again!

Marjorie N Wisby, April 2010: I enjoyed Oxford so much I stayed on another 3 days, which rather underscores my satisfaction with the accomodation.

Catherine Sackley, March 2010: The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The setting was beautiful and peaceful. It was a lovely experience, enjoyed by all of our party. There were 9 of us altogether.

Toto Granucci, March 2010: I had a very enjoyable experience and would certainly stay again. I highly recommend the university rooms.

Nicolla Greaves, February 2010: For what we needed (a bed for the night) I thought the halls were a great place to stay and considering there are not many reasonably priced hotels in the centre of Oxford itself, the accommodation was perfect.

Caroline Parr, July 2009: The porters were particularly helpful with details such as bag storage and online access. The room was spartan but clean and tidy. Good value for money.

Erika Carbo Prachner, July 2009: It was a perfect stay. I will repeat as soon as I can.

Paul Watkinson, July 2009: My sons and I had a wonderful stay at LMH in July, while I was attending a study week at Oxford University for my Masters. If you want to experience the student life in a modern student building, walk around stunning grounds and have breakfast in an oak panelled dinning room you will not be disappointed. I have booked LMH again for my next study week in September when I will be bringing my wife who is starting a creative writing diploma at Oxford University.

Mr. D Armstrong, July 2009: We would like to make a special mention of the Porters who were most helpful and very friendly, and also the quality of the breakfast, first class.
