I accompanied a cousin to Oxford and stayed with her at the hotel that was booked by her business interests--Old Parsonage. The room was lovely with all the amenities. The staff at the front desk was most helpful whenever approached with a question. I especially enjoyed the afternoon tea. The hotel is centrally located and an easy walk anywhere in... more

The hotel really is beautiful--450 years old, glowing stone, well maintained, tastefully decorated, wisteria covered, full of character. The staff went far out of their way to help me to schedule my stay. I was staying for quite a number of days during a very busy time, and they went the extra mile to try and find space for me.... more

This hotel is exquisite. The staff is really helpful, the rooms and decoration are lovely. It really has an old English feel to it, which tourists are very probably looking for in Oxford. Before staying there I read travelers’ review where they said the rooms were small. This is because this is an old building and it has a lot... more

Almost unbeatable location in a lovely period house (if you don't mind it facing a rather busy road and a disastrously hideous building on the other side of the road), lovely, almost romantic courtyard to have outdoors lunch / drinks (again, if you don't mind sitting right next to the busy traffic), very neat and nicely (but neutrally) decorated rooms,... more

This is a nice hotel, with a good location and atmosphere, well decorated. However, I cannot recommend it, as there are several problems. The biggest of all is that it is hideously over-priced, not just in terms of room rate, but for the extras. On checking out we found that we had been charged over £20 for 3 coffees and... more

Stayed at the Old Parsonage recently and were very disappointed - the hotel very much appears to be living in the past. The staff range from indifferent (during out checkin the girl complained about how busy she was rather than asking us if we needed any help) to rushed (during dinner the waitresses seemed to be competing to see how... more

Nice hotel. We stayed for one night - room was on the 1st floor (no 12). The room was small, but nice and clean. Room would have been too small if we were staying longer . Lovely comfortable bed ! Reception staff were very nice when we checked in. Bar area very small but nice and cozy with log fire.... more

We stayed for two nights between Christmas and New Year on a bit of a whim and got a very good rate by telephoning the hotel directly on the day we arrived. Our room was extremely comfortable, a good size and had french doors leading on to a small terrace. Service was laid back, yet prompt and polite. We ate... more

There's no denying that the Old Parsonage has an excellent location, and an incredibly quaint/charming aesthetic appeal (historical building, big open fireplace in reception area, etc.) but on a practical level, especially for a hotel charging prices verging on the luxury level ($350+ per night at current FX rates) the standard of the facilities just doesn't stand up to inspection.... more

I just adore this hotel, I have stayed there twice, and It feels like returning to visit friends. The staff are so friendly and helpful, I really appreciated the the complimentary walking tour of the beautiful city of Oxford. The food at the Old Parsonage is delicious, especially the "high tea" they bake all their own cakes, cookies, and scones,... more
