< Go back to homepage Murder Mystery Breaks

The solving of fictional murders has always been a source of intrigue, not least since the first outing of Sherlock Holmes in the late 19th century.

Deductive reasoning has become an important skill for those with an interest in solving the elusive ‘perfect murder’ and a murder mystery weekend is the perfect opportunity to play the detective and try to work out whodunit.

With the entire weekend’s entertainment provided by the cast, who will stage a murder for the guests to solve, there won’t be a dull moment, especially with a criminal to catch. In order to work out who had the means, motive and opportunity to commit such a crime it is vital that everyone keeps their eyes and ears open for clues and make sure that everyone’s stories add up.

A two night stay offers plenty of time to examine the evidence, size up the suspects and try to whittle down the potential killers until the case is cracked, and with a choice of locations to choose from you can find your perfect break.

Barceló Oxford Hotel Barceló Oxford Hotel

Barcelo Oxford Hotel is situated just two miles to the north of Oxford city centre, just off the Wolvercote Roundabout.

In many ways The Oxford Hotel offers the best of both worlds: within easy reach of Oxford – one of the UK’s most treasured historic cities and the home of the oldest university in the English speaking world – and so easy to get to via the A34, the Oxford Ring Road, and Junctions 8 and 9 of the M40.

While it makes a superb base for visiting Oxford and its dreaming spires, narrow lanes, distinctive architecture hewn from honey-gold Cotswold stone and wonderfully idiosyncratic ways, The Oxford Hotel is also sufficiently far from the hustle and bustle, the flow of tourists and the students, meaning you can sample as much of Oxford’s unique delights as you wish.

The Oxford Hotel was for many years somewhat neglected, but extensive refurbishments carried out at a cost of over £11 million have transformed The Oxford Hotel into one of Oxford’s most exclusive and luxurious hotels.
