The family were very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay as easy as possible. The owner even took us to a wedding to ensure that we arrived on time
Our room was huge and had everything that we needed for a short stay.

Breakfast was adequate, didn't have much space in the room to comfortably eat it. Staff friendly and helpful, restaurant meals very good.

Banbury is a nice little stop over and we were lucky to book such lovely accommodation. The bed was snug and comfortable and the room bright and fresh. Breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed our one night stay. Thanks Sian!

Banbury is an expanding commuter town, that was once a small market town.
Unfortunately the market is no where near as large as it once was. The town centre is busy and has all the amenities you could wish for . Two pubs worth a visit are The Reindeer and The White Horse.
Regretfully there is very little here of historical interest due to inept planning in the 60s and 70s, there are however some wonderful places to visit close by

Banbury is a fabulous place to visit, and stay. Plenty of things to do, ideally situated to explore the 5 counties. Town centre is good, but its the nightlife that excels, plenty of great pubs serving real ales, and plenty of mulit-cultural cusine, but you can still slum it with American fat food too if you so desire.

I was not visiting Banbury, the hotel is in Deddington 6 miles south of Banbury. I/we were staying for family reasons, but you would probably stay at the hotel for its location in relation to the Cotswold in general.

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.
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.
The hosts were extremly helpful and friendly. We were booked for tuesday night which is the night off for the restaurant; we were informed of this beforehand so went to Banbury to a restaurant. Therefore we can't comment on the restaurant facilities, but if the breakfast was an indicator then we missed a treat! we both felt that the accomodation was above and beyond our expectations. Thouroughly recommend and would definitely go there again if we visit the area again.
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.
The room was large and very clean although the sloping ceiling and very low door proves a challenge for someone who is 6ft. The bathroom was very clean and the breakfast was excellent and served promptly and with a smile. Parking was easy and we were met by friendly staff. I must say it was nice to see a hotel still adhering to Covid rules. So many have dispensed with them to their detriment.
Lovely property set within a small village, very quiet at night, parked car on road opposite property, safe and secure nice residential area, 10 mins into centre of Banbury 15 mins to M40. Plenty of restaurants around of all types. Breakfast was just perfect, freshly cooked and great selection, cereal, full cooked breakfast, cafetiere of freshly ground coffee, nice selection of toast,.
The hotel room was lovely; nice, modern and clean, with good facilities. The hotel also looked the part from outside too, and was situated not too far from the centre of Banbury, meaning we were at walking distance from the town, which was nice. Helen was an excellent host too, very friendly and welcoming. For what we got, the value for money was great as well.
First of all, the staff are exceptional! Friendly, efficient, and always smiling. My favourite place to stay when I am in Banbury. The location is perfect and you have the option to eat at the Cromwell Hotel, or walk across the street to a plethora of pubs and restaurants.
Lovely welcome, comfy and clean room and clean functional bathroom. Ample off-street parking away from the road. 5 min walk to town. Great breakfast options including takeaway. Will stay again when working in the area. Thanks!
Banbury itself very nice nothing good about the hotel. Very loud music late into the night couldn't sleep in bedroom ended up sleeping on pull out sofa bed in lounge.
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
