Yr Hen Orsaf - JD Wetherspoon, Alexandra Rd, Aberystwyth SY23 1LN, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Just another Wetherspoons. Clean and convenient and with cheap drinks, but with food priced at the Wetherspoons price points usually reserved for larger cities: bit of a rip-off in
Aberystwyth!
Launderette Golchdy, 75 N Parade, Aberystwyth SY23 2JN, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Basic, functional launderette. The machines are usually in working order and it’s rarely busy, but it’s inadvisable to leave your washing unattended, even just to go to the shop across
the street!
Wellington Square, Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2HY, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Attractive square garden nestled in central Oxford. Aside from the ocassional geocache, nothing special to write home about, but still a nice place for a lunch break.
Clarendon Building, 48 Broad St, Oxford OX1 3BD, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful, iconically-Oxford, arch-shaped building, but be aware that access for the disabled is pretty-much nonexistent. Upper floors are too hot in the summer and too cold in the
winter.
This building is mostly not-accessible to the public, but those who attend interviews at the Bodleian Libraries will almost certainly visit as their HR department is found here.
History of Science Museum, Broad St, Oxford OX1 3AZ, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My favourite Oxford museum! Fascinating collections and imaginative exhibitions. Space is a little tight (especially when the tourists are out and about) and the disabled access lift
seems to be broken more often than not, but so long as you can manage the stairs this Oxford gem promises to show you more about how science USED to be done than you ever thought
possible.
Nationwide Building Society, 44 Queen St, Oxford OX1 1ET, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfectly reasonable branch of a pleasant building society. Went the extra mile when we took out our first mortgage by sending a box of essentials – toilet paper, mugs, tea, UHT milk
etc. – to our new house so that we could settle in before we started to unpack: nice touch.
Cornish Bakehouse, The Clarendon Centre, 52 Cornmarket St, Oxford OX1 3JD, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good-value pizza by the slice, pasties, sausage rolls etc. Note that there are two service hatches – one on Queen Street and one in the shopping centre – and sometimes there’ll be a
queue at one while staff wait patiently at the other for you to see sense and take the shortcut!
@YodelOnline Suggestion: if your helpdesk closes while people are queueing, CUT THEM OFF instead of letting them pay until they get bored. https://t.co/zW1eBMfXDM
Tower House, 15 Ship St, Oxford OX1 3DA, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Reasonable conveniently-central hotel with good access to Oxford amenities at an acceptable price. Rooms slightly small and floors excitingly “wonky”: not for those afraid of stairs or
prone to seasickness!
