We loved the location and the room once we were in it. We didn’t like that we weren’t made aware of the building renovations and our room access was through either the builders materials or stacked up furniture.

Charming hotel. We booked a junior suite, and the room and bathroom has been renovated. I was sceptical after reading some reviews but it was a great hotel in the end. It has all the services you’d expect and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Banbury is also a good base for touring the Cotswolds. Would stay again.

Lovely old hotel with loads of character in a very pretty town excellent location rooms are old but very well maintained and appointed the gardens are beautiful. Parking plentiful BUT access is very tight for large vehicles. Really nice breakfast. I believe the hotel is currently under refurbishment one this has been completed would rate higher.
