A 5-star hotel in Oxford has been nominated for a national award and here's how you can make sure it wins.

Oxford’s Old Parsonage hotel has been shortlisted for the Food and Travel Magazine’s “best hotel – city” award in its 2021 Reader’s Awards.

The Reader's Awards which are now 10 years old, aim to celebrate "businesses operating within the hospitality industry and recognises the very best," the Food and Travel Magazine says.

“Of course, we would love to be awarded the ‘best hotel – city’ award and to be recognised nationally for the exceptional experiences we provide for our guests, however, we’re proud and delighted to have been shortlisted amongst other esteemed hospitality peers," Rebecca Mofford, Director of Operations at The Oxford Collection, said.

The Old Parsonage was first opened in 1989 by the hotelier Jeremy Mogford.

It is an independently owned 5-star hotel with 35 individually designed luxurious bedrooms and suites.

It "is steeped in centuries worth of history dating as far back as the 17th century," according to the Food and Travel Magazine.

And its charm has even brought well-known guests to its doors like the playwright, Oscar Wilde.

When you stay at the Old Parsonage, you get complimentary access to the hotel’s library and grounds, including the summerhouse and thewalled garden.

The Food and Travel Magazine says it "combines its original charm, character and building features with contemporary interiors and striking artwork to create its very own ‘eclectic country house charm’".
