It's 15 years since I was at Oxford, so I don't know anything about the current state of letting tourists in, charging etc. However... St Johns' has a particularly good garden. New College cloisters was one of my favourite places in Oxford - very much a hidden gem, and very atmospheric.
I was at Merton, so am of course totally biased about the perfection of its architecture, setting and gardens. It does possess the oldest quad in Oxford, though, containing an old and interesting library, some of the books still chained.
If she likes Pre-Raphaelites, the Oxford Union library contains Arthurian murals painted by William Morris, Rosetti and Burne-Jones.
