8/10 Very good

Excellent value and sweet, friendly staff. Rooms fairly basic but comfy - it's a shame they don't reflect the history and aesthetics of the building more, but I imagine that would bump up the price considerably.

Reasonable price and well located. Room was very tired and the carpet on the stairs to the accommodation had a lot of duct tape covering the gaps. Breakfast is fine.

4/10 Fair

The rooms are incredibly bad at sound proofing, I could hear the guy next door to us having a conversation on the phone and also his every movement including going to the bathroom. Room felt kind of clean but the bathroom felt filthy, felt like couldn’t even take a shower.
joanna, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Stayed one night in a room where the toilet was not clean, paint peeling of walls and radiators, sticky tape holding carpets together on main stairs. Restaurant had no guests in it at all and waited 5 mins and no staff came to even say hello so left. Run down hotel with staff that seem to reflect the run down nature of the venue. Breakfast was poor with cheep sausages and egg that had gone hard as it had sat to long.
Ray, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A perfect location for exploring Banbury. A clean, quiet room with a comfortable bed.
Claire, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely old rambling hotel, we stayed for one night passing through Banbury. Our room was recently refurbished and very clean and pleasant. Free parking on site
john, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful stay

Our room was beautiful, spacious and very clean. We had a separate 'T.V' room with a sofa bed for extra guests so learnt of room for 4 adults. If I had to be picky there was only one packet if normal Nescafé coffee. For whatever reason the restaurant closed at 7 pm despite the web site saying 9 pm. Breakfast was really nice - sausages were fabulous.
Shirley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average at best

Badly stained carpets, poorly made beds. Check out at11am, but get used to housekeeping knocking on your door from 8.45 to clean the room !!! Just what you need, as soon as they get you in, They want you out !!!!!
