A 17th-century stone parsonage, with its heavy oak front door still boasting original hinges and nails, houses the Old Parsonage Hotel, a unique Oxford stay dating back to 1660. This historic building, once reputedly lodgings for Oscar Wilde after he lost his rooms at Magdalen College, now offers 35 individually designed bedrooms and suites. Each room blends old-world charm with modern luxury, featuring handmade Epoc beds, rich natural fabrics, original Oxford sketches, and Carrara marble-clad bathrooms. Situated a mere five-minute walk from Oxford city centre, the hotel is perfectly positioned for exploring landmarks such as the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, various colleges, and the vibrant Jericho district with its independent shops and bars.
Guests can indulge in the Parsonage Grill, renowned for its intimate, clubby atmosphere and classic British dishes, or enjoy afternoon tea in the walled courtyard or by the fire in winter. The hotel also features a residents' library, a light-filled space perfect for relaxing with a book or a drink. For those wishing to explore Oxford in traditional style, the Old Parsonage offers complimentary bicycle rentals. Many rooms retain original features, with some in the original house boasting hobbit-height doors and exposed beams, evoking a true sense of history. The hotel's commitment to a blend of historical character and contemporary comfort ensures a memorable visit.
