Old Parsonage Hotel

The hotel was comfortable, staff were very helpful and the food was great. We liked sitting in the bar by the fire! Also loved the art on the walls.

Everything was excellent except for noise during the night. We were on top floor at the end to corridor which we thought would be good as nobody passing during the night. But all through the night there were doors banging which sounded like below us but not sure.

Loved everything about this little gem of a hotel . The atmosphere, the welcoming staff, the breakfast, the interior etc etc 🥰

This is the second time we have stayed at the Old Parsonage. We were made so welcome and comfortable the first time that we came back for more and were not disappointed. From the moment we stepped into the entrance lounge with its open fire the staff were friendly. clear and anxious to meet our requests. The hotel has its own delightful and idiosyncratic atmosphere. Rooms, and beds, felt comfortable to luxurious. Our breakfast and dinner were beautifully cooked from original menus. The Halibut was stand-out. We will find a reason to return.

The room was extremely well appointed and spacious. Heated floor tiles in the bathroom were a nice touch! The decor is contemporary and comfortable. We had breakfast in our room both days and ate a delightful dinner on the patio at the fabulous restaurant on site. The location is walkable to the Oxford University campus and other location in town. We also had a dedicated parking spot for our vehicle which was key. Do note, there are no lifts in this charming old property.

Room was excellent- modern, large, lovely amenities, and comfortable. Close to indoor restaurant & outdoor patios.
Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant.
Walking tour was so informative re history of the university, houses and architecture. Scones and tea a delicious, authentic bonus. Truly enjoyable. Much appreciated!

I must say in 2026 I am stunned to discover The Old Parsonage does not offer a vegetarian Sunday Roast Option. Every other venue in Oxford which offers Sunday lunch has an option for a vegetarian. Thank goodness we checked at the last minute and we had to cancel our reservation for 6 people.

Some aspects of the past are charming whilst others are challenging. Please up your game OP as you dont want your Sunday lunch offer for vegetarians ( £25 for all the trimmings but no centre price such as nut roast ) to be as historic as your beautiful setting.

We upgraded to. Luxury Accessible room as my wife has cerebral palsy. The room and en-suite were quite the best I have ever experienced. We were celebrating her 70th birthday so I was happy to pay for luxury and we certainly experienced it at the Old Parsonage Hotel!

The Reception team were friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful in every way (even finding a parking space for our guests when they visited us for lunch.

The Restaurant staff could not have servers better- even when hey were busy they found time to meet our neeeds.

The food in the Restaurant was amazing (not cheap bu we didn’t expect that). On two occasions we had guests to visit for a meal and they were very impressed with the quality of food.

All in all an OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE, at a pice which was not unreasonable for a special occasion.

A fantastic stay from the moment I arrived and left. Friendly experienced staff with attention to detail a top priority. The team know their guests and try and accommodate their wishes. Well done ,

It was a lovely property with a great cozy feel.
Tremendously clean. Great location and easy to find. Pre organised parking onsite included in price of stay.

We wanted to go back to the Old Parsonage as mine is a wintery, sometimes gloomy January birthday. We knew it would be cosy and warm and we were not disappointed. Our Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious (I am still dreaming about the double baked cheese soufflé) in convivial surroundings - and most importantly, with attentive hotel employees.

We would highly recommend the Old Parsonage for a special occasion. We were very well looked after and it made my birthday a most memorable one:-)

Pleasant and helpful staff on check-in, called us when our room was ready and arranged a table in the bar for drinks with friends that evening. Also arranged a parking space in the (small) car park.
Room and bathroom were excellent; spacious, tastefully decorated and very well-appointed with everything conveniently placed for ease of use.
Lovely breakfast.
Great location in Oxford for easy access to the sites without being on top of all the tourists and students.

Magical historic fireside warmth
