A great place to stay

A very warm and friendly welcome again, everything was perfect, lovely clean and well decorated/finished room, very comfortable bed and great shower. The breakfast was excellent and keeps you going all day. The location is great as just a short walk into town Centre so no need to move the car which can be parked off road out front. A great place to stay and would thoroughly recommend for any visit

A lovely host and stay

Booked at short notice as we needed somewhere to stay in Banbury whilst we helped our daughter move. Sian was very helpful as we were unsure when we would be able to check in and offered us extra arrangements if we arrived later in the day. A warm welcome, a lovely room and breakfast was superb. Sian also gave us some pieces of her lovely flapjack to take with us when we returned to Leamington Spa to continue unpacking for the house etc. We are spoilt by living in a quiet cul-de-sac and I forgot my earplugs (and it was a warm night so we needed a window open) so I would just say there is some traffic noise through the night so do consider taking earplugs if you are a very light sleeper but we would not hesitate to stay again.

I stayed for 3 nights. Sian the host is really lovely. She even gave me some hair conditioner as mine ran out. The flapjack on arrival was also a welcome treat after my very long journey. Everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast delicious and you can have pretty much what you want. I would definitely stay here again

Comfortable

The Avonlea guest house is easy to find and ideally placed for the town being only 5 minutes walk away. The Host was welcoming, and I found the guest house to be clean and homely and comfortable. Even down to the home made flapjacks left in the room, which I thought was a nice touch. The breakfast was excellent. I would stay here again.
