UJ,
My husband trained at OATS and was able to rent a room in Kidlington then cycled into the school (about 1 mile). There were no restrictions whatsoever and it was only £50 per week. The landlord was great, a chap called John. If you would like his phone number let me know because he has a couple of properties he rents out rooms to students... and it's much cheaper.
Good luck with your training.
