Nothing, a ruined very, very long day. Sadly I was not able to get in to the Guest house, the phone number given did not work, no one answered the door.

Such a quaint little place to stay. Quite a few extras in the wagon too that the owner has really thought about, like milk and yoghurt in the fridge. A hairdryer, dvd’s etc. Amazing views all around. In the evenings you can hear the hoot of the owls which is so relaxing.

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)

I liked Broughton Castle - very historic, just a short taxi ride outside town. I also enjoyed the museum and seeing the narrow boats tied up on the canal. I had a reasonably good meal of fish and chips at the Old Reine Deer Inn. Not much else to do in Banbury though.

Staff was great and very helpful. Rooms were very clean and tidy, room service every day. Great full english breakfast plus fruit, cereal, toast with tea and coffee. Only complaint I have is very low water pressure on garden view rooms.

I know Banbury very well and have always found it a charming Cotswolds town full of interesting buildings, pubs, good dining choices and so on. it is compact and so easy to get around and it is a good centre for exploring neighbouring counties, Wks, etc
Our hosts, Mike and Barbara were exceptional. We were able to check in early which gave us a head start for the day. The room was very well appointed, clean and well stocked. We had a room facing the road and had no issues with noise. You just need to be attentive as you approach the hotel as the road to the entrance looks more like an alleyway so can be missed. Location was great, 2 lovely pubs within walking distance of the hotel. We were close enough to Banbury and Oxford for day trips too. Highly recommended.
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.
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.
Sian was an exceptional host! She went above and beyond our expectations. She made us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. She was welcoming and extremely helpful in helping us get to where we wanted to go visit. The room was very neat and clean. Breakfast was delicious!! We felt right at home! We would definitely stay at Avonlea again, if we're in the area again!!
Visited for a one night stay with my elderly father as we needed to be in the area. Staff very helpful to us. Late arrival and early start so we were not able to sample the breakfast but the room was clean and comfortable. The bad wasn't as comfortable as my own but ok for a short stay. Overall very pleased and good value for money for the area.
This Inn is away from the crowds and although post code is Banbury the pub itself is a few miles out of town in a hamlet. The owners were very welcoming, the room was small but quite delightful, with lovely homely touches. Shower room was small but sufficient. The food was a delight and this place was a welcomed find.
The whole lot. Bedroom very clean and bathroom very clean...
Breakfast was lovely, plenty choice.
Area was very good ..not far from town centre.

Host was fantastic, very poilte, friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast was very nice. Waitresses very friendly. Restaurant dining area very clean and comfortable. Good location for hotel. Lovely village. Beds very comfy Good price. Check out was easy and friendly
Really nice staff, help yourself beverages, croissants, fruit etc and fresh cooked breakfast on request. Free car parking at the rear of the hotel is a huge bonus. Cross the road into centre Banbury
The breakfast was good, I liked the fact that it was freshly cooked and tailored to my requirements. Everything else was pretty much as I hoped for. It was nice to stay in a hotel with character.
Convenient location for work. The food was excellent. The hot water for the bath and shower was hot as it should be, not like the nanny state Premier Inn who pre set the max temperature for you.
Good location for Banbury and surrounding area.
Clean, light and airy rooms comfortable bed, en-suite with shower. Great breakfast. Friendly hosts who are knowledgeable about the area.
Mum and I stayed here and it was perfect for us. Great location within Banbury and the surrounding areas. Made very welcome
Will definitely be staying there again
