Pros +
- 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.
- Heritage nature of the hotel. Like a very rare building preserved for humanity. A peep into olden age hospitality infrastructure.
- The proximity to everything we wanted to see in Oxford. The bed was very comfy, the room clean and the biscuits are a delight.
Cons -
- Slightly pricey for me, particularly since the booking was not done directly with the hotel. Some colleagues could not deal.
- We ate at Gees which did feel a little cold in January - we should have opted for the in house restaurant. This was entirely our error.
- We arrived on a Thursday and loved our room facing the church. However, we were unprepared for church bell practice that went on for at least an hour and occurs every Thursday evening according to the church's website. It was charming, but quite loud, and an advanced warning would have been appreciated!

Loved everything about this little gem of a hotel . The atmosphere, the welcoming staff, the breakfast, the interior etc etc
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!
Menu was limited for me- a Canadian. Luckily I am not a vegetarian. Fruit outside the room much appreciated.
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.
Additional charges for service staff should be included in the main charge and not added on as an ‘extra’!
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.
I loved everything. I have absolutely nothing negative to say.
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.
Great location, beautiful historic building with outdoor garden space; the bed was comfortable and the staff were excellent
The bathroom was a bit small compared to other similar hotels I’ve stayed at
Beautiful place, great location
Very cramped and difficult to get to bedrooms. Also was given last park at the end which was horrific to get in/out even with a small car
The room was extremely cosy and clean. So clean that you might even think your are staying in a completely new hotel. Very nice staff! Delicious home--made biscuits provided in the room. Best thing was the location: Good parking options and a few minutes walk to town
Excellent location, excellent staff, excellent food, excellent room.Parking space reserved with our name - greatly appreciated.Oxford is always amazing and this hotel is a gem.We will come again.
No electric charging for cars.
Location and facilities very good
Dinner was very slow arriving and did not come together. Certain dishes were cold and chairs and tables uncomfortable
Such a warm, comfortable, and charming old property! Great staff, fabulous food and heritage decor. Excellent location for touring the city center. It even has parking.
Its popularity filled up the dining area so be sure to reserve a table if you want indoor seating.
Loved the central location with added bonus of free car parking. Every little detail perfect: the reserved parking space with my name on it: the tea and biscuits and fully stocked minibar: the supercomfy super king size bed: the downturn at night: the super friendly reception and staff. Will definitely stay again!
Nothing. It was all perfect.
