St Benet’s Hall is owned by the monastic community of St Lawrence at Ampleforth Abbey in Yorkshire – currently the largest monastery in the UK. In its earliest medieval form, the University of Oxford comprised a few Houses of study, with students gathered around a Master. St Benet’s, founded in 1897, stands proud as the closest institution in Oxford to these medieval Halls. The maintenance of these traditions means that St Benet’s preserves the best of Old Oxford and a wonderful family atmosphere. A self-service continental style breakfast is available in the ground floor Refectory from 8.00am to 9.30am every morning. If guests have any particular dietary requirements, they are asked to let St Benet's know in advance by entering relevant details in the "additional information" section of their booking form. Stepping outside the Hall, guests will find many good restaurants, pubs, cafes and delicatessens in the surrounding area.
