Very clean establishment with lovely private garden which guests can use. The breakfast was very generous and a wide range of choices. Good central location in Banbury, with easy walking to rail station. I stayed in a single rom without ensuite, which was a good sized room. Only minor niggle was that the mattress probably needs replacing.

Great property close to the centre of Banbury

Lovely BnB, very private and nicely appointed in keeping with the era of the building. Michelle was very helpful and Alfie the dog added an extra touch. Pretty frontage covered in beautiful summer flowers in hanging baskets. Very convenient to the centre of Banbury.

Banbury Cross (Great) B&B

The Banbury Cross B&B puts a number of hotel chains to shame, from being greeted by the host through to the facilities and breakfast. Great place to stay, slept like a log and was fully refreshed for the drive down to Kidlington for work. Highly recommend this B&B.
