Hotel is old/creaky floorboards but lovely, clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. My friend had an issue with her bathroom which had a very musty/sewerage issue smell but she reported in the morning and was reassured it would be dealt with. Delicious breakfast, lot of options, comfortable and clean room, very happy thank you

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Reception staff to busy talking to another member of staff while we waited. Stair carpet thread bear stuck down with gaffer tape, big hole around the key hole, stains on the carpet in the room, enough dust on the window frame to grow potatoes in as well as the skirting boards,the radiator in the room had paint flakeing off. Avoid room 81. The hotel looks very impressive from the outside but the inside a total let down

Toni

Very grand from the outside and in the entrance, however lots of very tired decor and furnishings, including lots of debris under the bed and stains on the carpet. The receptionist was not very talkative and we didn't entirely feel welcomed until we met the cleaner and bar staff who were lovely. Nice to have free parking on site, but access was a bit tight. Breakfast had a good selection but was quite greasy and had been left under the hot lamps a bit too long. Also would have preferred freshly made tea and coffee.

Great option for a stay
We chose this venue as it was an affordable option for a quick stop - we were so impressed! The rooms were spacious and quiet and beautifully appointed, there was a lovely woman on reception who suggested a great restaurant for dinner across the road, and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. All in all a great stay

We booked stayed in a junior suite in the main house, communication with reception was brilliant, they organised everything to have a great stay. The room was spotless, comfortable and surprisingly quiet as it was facing to the main road. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We also had food there and it was excellent. Definitely will go back if we plan to go to Banbury again.
