The check in was akin to a 5* establishment and we were escorted to our room up a narrow twisting staircase with the one room at the top. Fantastic room with lots of character. Everything you would expect from a 4* hotel but with the style and service for a 5* and a more personal touch. We only ate at... More

Whenever I visit Oxford, I stay at the Old Parsonage. It is such a welcoming haven and in a central position for all that Oxford has to offer. The rooms offer the most comfortable beds and everything is immaculately clean. The staff are professional and friendly and the food is excellent. The Parsonage is a historical building, full of character.... More

A beautiful old building with all the charm you'd hope for. This is more like a top-drawer guesthouse than an hotel. Don't expect a big lobby, spacious common areas or corridors leading to large rooms with designer bathrooms. Instead, expect lots of steep stairs, wonky walls, low ceilings and had-banging doorways. None of this is a criticism; indeed, many will... More

I didn't like the layout of this place at all....really badly designed. It felt as if we were dining in the entrance lobby, people were walking through the restaurant with their suitcases on their way to the bedrooms. Restaurant furniture of poor quality. Food was perfectly acceptable, selected from an interesting menu. The staff were pleasant but the man I... More

We stayed here for a weekend this hotel was perfect. It's such a great cosy place and close enough the the city centre. The hotel restaurant is excellent and the wood fireplace in the lobby is very cute. The rooms are well decorated and very comfortable but could do with a bit of updating (felt like staying at a friend's... More

As our children are now more independent, we are spending more time exploring the UK and search out hotels that offer something different, and aren't the cloned variety. The Old Parsonage is definitely on the 'return visit list' as it offers fabulous accommodation, excellent service from all staff, exquisite food and attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble and... More

Such a shame. Absolutely lovely looking hotel just outside the centre of Oxford. A coutry hotel feel in the city. Absolutely what we (two day break for a couple) were after. But sadly The Old Parsonage fell short everywhere. We paid £210/night excluding breakfast. The room (room 10) was one of their basic rooms and clean and tidy. Banbury Road... More

My husband booked a room at The Old Parsonage as a surprise for my birthday. We had walked past it on a previous visit to Oxford and i had commented on the beautiful exterior. It is a wonderful building and the interior is also lovely. The room had a lovely little terrace overlooking the main courtyard. The bed was so... More

Stayed Fri-Sun 25th/27th November in a superior room. Nice touches like slippers, dressing gown, good tea and coffee, breakfast table very high quality and varied, cooked breakfast good but why the small sausages(?). Evening meal very good quality. Hotel is very well set out and very near the city but far enough out to be quiet. Cost is high but... More
