The Kilns (C S Lewis House) oxford

Took the tour twice already and in both times I learned so much about C.S. Lewis's life. It's excellent value and the guides are super eager to share what they know. It only lasts for an hour or so, so there's plenty of time to enjoy other stuff around the city.

This little park could be so much nicer. It is obvious that it was once a gorgeous place to wander and think, as C S Lewis apparently did. But now there is a lot of trash around, the trails are overgrown in areas, and not well marked. The pond was filthy and greasy looking, and quite polluted. All in all, it wasn't a terribly pleasant experience, but it could be absolutely amazing with some work.

We emailed ahead of time and got to go on a tour. It was comfortable and informative. I loved that the house is still used for scholars!!! What a beautiful place to preserve to really see where CSLewis loved and created Narnia.

The person leading the tour was a very kind man. I could also tell he knew what he was talking about! I feel like the tour was very informative and it was an overall very unique and great experience.

Great experience. Not a traditional museum, more like a short college lecture talk which was awesome for us. Not recommended for really small children, since home is small.

Excellent tour. Lasted an hour and a half. The warden led us through different rooms while recounting Lewis’s life through stories and letters from biographies and memoirs, and pointing out the uses and restoration of each room. He also told us about the history and restoration of the house. Humorous, informative, professional, lots to learn — an excellent tour and well worth the £15 ticket.

Wonderful tour of CS Lewis's house. Our guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. They were able to include us even though we didn't give much notice.

Really cool place to visit and remember a great man.

One of the most wonderful places to visit in Oxford, a truly magical place.

A great little walk, bigger than we thought, but still a nice short walk. It was a little muddy when we went (February) so we just about got away with shoes. As buggy is a no go unless you just want to have a quick look at the pond/lake as the other parts of the path are quite steep and there are steps along the way around.
