Beds were comfortable and there was little noise from outside the building. Cooked breakfast (paid for separately) was good, but not exceptional, and poor value at £10 each.

A Charming little village of Hook Norton, with this beautiful Charming 11th century Church. Close to beautiful Hook Norton Brewery built in 1849 and still making beer today. Great location to visit the beautiful Cotswolds.

Charming hotel located in a small village of thatched cottages. We only stayed one night as a stop-over on our way to see other parts of the UK. I did not research the area to see what was near by for those who may want to stay more nights. Loved the decor and had a lovely outside garden area to relax, and enjoy drinks or meal. Food was very good, reasonably priced and friendly service. Dinner service was a bit slow however.

Banbury itself is not the greatest spot (I used to live around the area for many years myself before moving away) however, there are so many other places to visit it doesn't matter. Banbury is excellent for grocery shopping with all tastes catered for and a range of supermarkets from Lidl up to Waitrose. Enjoy !

Banbury has a good shopping retail park called Gateway which is a drive away and on a bus route.
Town centre has lots of cafes, a few decent pubs and cocktail bars. Not sure about restaurants in the town but travel a few miles out of town , you’ll find some good pubs/ restaurants.
Lock29 in the shopping precinct is vibrant and a good choice of foods on offer by different vendors. Behind the precinct is the Banbury canal with a few food outlets, cinema and pub.

Came back for a family visit. I was born here. The town has grown, and along with it, the traffic, which is very heavy, but I suppose that comes with growth..
So many beautiful places to visit all within an easy drive of Banbury make it a n ideal location to stay.
We found great places for evening meals, light afternoon snacks, in fact so many we were amazed.

We were using Banbury as a base to visit relatives and did not explore Banbury in depth, so cannot give an authoritative view. It is actually a good base to visit places and is well positioned off the M40. (we moved on to a planned trip to Straford upon Avon after the 3 nights stay)
Lovely bar area with cosy atmosphere. Helpful staff. Good sized and attractively decorated restaurant with great food - in the evening the dinner menu was excellent and a very good breakfast too. The bedrooms were perfectly adequate but a little tired in decor and lighting. Very nice to be able to walk from our room to the restaurant/bar. The location of the pub was really good, enabling us to walk out of the front door and into the market square. Also being just off the Oxford Banbury A road, meant it was easy getting about.
We stayed at Virginia House en route to London from the Lake District. Unfortunately, our stay was too short! This B&B was one of the best all-around accommodations of our three-week trip to England and Scotland. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the location perfect for our needs, and the breakfast fresh and varied. We had brioche French toast, which was not offered at any other B&B. Mike and Barbara are warm & friendly hosts. If we are able to return on another vacation, Virginia House will be on top of our list!
Breakfast is the weak point. Booked hoping for options of a breakfast menu and hot fresh coffee and instead got shrink-qrapped croissant & muffins and coffee bag with a kettle that barely reached the power socket. What's more, there were staff mopping the floors in the morning but, despite there being a nice coffee machine on the bar, they would not/could not make guests coffee. Such a cute property that couldn't rustle up a quality breakfast was a major disappointment.
Easy to find, good parking area at rear of property, met by pleasant lady who explained Covid precautions whilst in the hotel.
Goid sized single room, comfortable bed & nice shower.
Slept well both nights with the odd slam of a door by other guests!
Chose not to have breakfast as I had to be at Silverstone for motogp round.
All in all, a nice place to stay, let down by the missed areas that were dusty.
Michelle, the owner, catered for our every needs. The room was very comfortable and exactly as the photo showed on the website. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and the large table catering for all guests, created lots of conversation. We would recommend staying at Banbury Cross B & B if you are in the area. It is very convenient for the town, which is just 5 minutes walk from the house.
Ayman and Julie could not have been more friendly or helpful. They made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The Guest House was in a very good position, both for Cherwell Hospital and walking into Banbury centre. The room and facilities were very clean and comfortable. There was a good breakfast choice, and the cooked food was amazing. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
Location excellent and the staff where really friendly, but the rooms are dated and tired and the back of the hotel isn’t in keeping with the rest of it. It’s a wonderful old building and to say it’s the oldest building in Banbury they could make a more in keeping job on the back building.
great location - 10 minute walk to town. Lovely friendly hosts - gave excellent tip on where to eat. Lovely comfy bed and bright spacious room with nice ensuite. Beautiful gardens - if in Banbury area again will definitely use this B & B again. Great also if visiting Oxford.
Michelle was a delight - very friendly, warm, and helpful. Could not ask for a better experience. Her home is charming and our room warm and comfortable.
Breakfast was perfect.
We will certainly stay with Michelle and Paul again when next we're in Banbury!
Breakfast was not provided. I could not access the wifi, though it was there. On price, it was on the expensive side, being only just a little more exclusive than a room in someone's house, but more affordable than the Band Bs and hotels in the area.
Very good Full English breakfast. Hotel well placed for the activities that brought me to Banbury. Staff very helpful - e.g carrying bag up to my room. Bed comfortable and I had two very good (for me) ngihts' sleep.
Good location in the centre of an attractive north Oxfordshire village. Plenty of interesting places to visit in the surrounding area. Welcoming bar and dining areas. Ample car parking. Quality bedding and towels.
Easy to find and a very handy location for a night out in Banbury. Cheerful welcome and the the host allocated me a room with an extra long bed. Very fast wi-fi, which made me realise how poor other places are
Adequate space in the room and bathroom; a good shower. Helpful, friendly staff, doing their best to sort out issues. The location, a short walk from Banbury Cross and that area of the town.
Area surrounding the hotel was nice but very small. Managed to sit outside in the sunshine with a drink. The restaurant food was lovely on first day of arrival and reasonably priced.
the hotel was nice clean and quiet - parking was fine and the hotel staff were very pleasant - very straight forward gaining access to my room and have no complaints at all
Quiet area, private parking, very friendly and helpful owners, great views and good facilities. Well worth a trip to Hook Norton Brewery for breakfast too.
