| Our favourite Oxford hotel (though we can also recommend its sister, Old Bank), this ancient, characterful, wistaria-clad house has recently had a total facelift, including superb new beds. Its panache remains: a venerable door leads into the welcoming bar/brasserie (good food) with log fire; there's a pretty roof terrace; punt and bikes are available. |

THEY SAY: A haven of tranquility, the Old Parsonage is a thoroughly grown-up establishment conveniently located a short walk from the city centre and less than an hour from London, which makes it feel like a countryside retreat despite its urban location. A real fire burns in the warm lobby all year round, the décor, traditional meets modern best describes the Parsonage. 30 recently refurbished rooms situated over 2 floors around a herb and lavender planted roof garden provide luxury accommodation. The Parsonage Bar/Restaurant has the intimate appeal of a private members club and is open from breakfast to 10.30pm serving modern British classics, its emphasis on fresh local ingredients. Whether it’s the simplicity of a good steak and chips, stunning seafood imported from Jersey or a lobster salad in summer, you’ll be guaranteed great quality food and service. From May to the close of September there is a barbeque on the front terrace every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In summer on the terrace and during the winter months you can enjoy live jazz every Friday evening. We pride ourselves in using local suppliers where possible, fish and shellfish from Jersey, meat and vegetables from our owner's farm in Oxfordshire and cheese from a local supplier. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner or just a drink. The 30 rooms, situated over two floors around an herb and lavender planted roof garden have a distinctly stylish country-house feel. The individually designed, air conditioned rooms have en-suite marble bathrooms, flat screen television with radio, telephone and high-speed Internet connections. Some of our ground floor rooms have private terraces overlooking our Church garden where breakfast, lunch or dinner can be enjoyed, the four Deluxe Rooms are situated in the oldest part of the house and have retained their original features.
