Oxford - glam hotel for me and dh!

[newgirl]

Hello

Can anyone recommend a great hotel in Oxford centre? There is no need for child-friendly as it will be just dh and me!!

think there's a hotel du vin there

and crazy bear comes highly recommended

malmaison ?

Haven't seen the rooms, but the Old Parsonage looked nice.

thanks tutter, arcticroll and anchovy ive had a look at them all

malmaison is booked up for when we are going - looks bonkers - in a prison block but very stylish! old parsonage looks great - i think thats the one for us although they do need two night booking which is a bit tricky with babysitters - i'm going to think about that one

hotel du vin dont seem to have one there yet. crazy bear looks very funky - never heard of them before!

thanks for the ideas x

The Randolph? Very ritzy! But probably really expensive.

Or Bath Place hotel is absolutely lovely; my dh and I stayed there for our wedding night! Small, old (in a nice way) rooms, friendly people, right in the centre and near decent pubs.

Oops.

I think the Randolf is a bit overrated - it's very well known so you may be paying for the name a bit.

Bath Place has a very good reputation and I know that the Old Parsonage is lovely - great food and great rooms.

Don't know the Crazy Bear.

Old Bank Hotel?

Get a cab and stay at Le Manoir

wouldn't bother with the Randolph - Old Parsonage or Old Bank better, or even the Eastgate.
or, indeed, Le Manoir...

ooh i would
the rooms are luverly

bath place seems to have very chintzy curtains? was that the case frisbyrat - i dont want to be put of my conjugal rights looking at chintzy swags

Old bank looks very cool - seems to have a good restaurant underneath - anyone been?

just off to find le manoir - raymond blanc?

crikey - le manoir prices are 450-1450!!!! sadly that is out of my humble price range - get a free newspaper though!

restaurant at old bank is pretty good
but if you go for the old parsonage eat at Petit Blanc on Walton St - manoir-quality food at non-manoir prices

mrs b - great tip thank you

Bath Place is perhaps a tad olde-worlde, albeit tastefully done. Don't remember yards of chintz, but the rooms were snug, given the age of the building. I suppose it depends which room you get.
Btw, if you're doing dinner out, and want something a bit different and not too pricey, above all, why not try Rosamund the Fair? The food is not too poncy, and very tasty. Assuming you don't get queasy!
