Oxford placed seventh, with three historic cities featured in the top ten: Oxford, Winchester in sixth place, and Bath in eighth.

Travellers praised Oxford for its medieval architecture and ancient streets. Both Oxford and Bath were noted for their stunning medieval architecture, ancient streets, famous historic landmarks, and cosy pubs and independent cafes.

York topped the overall list as the UK's cosiest city, followed by Chichester, Edinburgh, Chester, and Durham. The rest of the top ten included Brighton and St David's in Wales.
