Banbury has a good shopping retail park called Gateway which is a drive away and on a bus route.
Town centre has lots of cafes, a few decent pubs and cocktail bars. Not sure about restaurants in the town but travel a few miles out of town , you’ll find some good pubs/ restaurants.
Lock29 in the shopping precinct is vibrant and a good choice of foods on offer by different vendors. Behind the precinct is the Banbury canal with a few food outlets, cinema and pub.

Came back for a family visit. I was born here. The town has grown, and along with it, the traffic, which is very heavy, but I suppose that comes with growth..
So many beautiful places to visit all within an easy drive of Banbury make it a n ideal location to stay.
We found great places for evening meals, light afternoon snacks, in fact so many we were amazed.

We were using Banbury as a base to visit relatives and did not explore Banbury in depth, so cannot give an authoritative view. It is actually a good base to visit places and is well positioned off the M40. (we moved on to a planned trip to Straford upon Avon after the 3 nights stay)

I liked Broughton Castle - very historic, just a short taxi ride outside town. I also enjoyed the museum and seeing the narrow boats tied up on the canal. I had a reasonably good meal of fish and chips at the Old Reine Deer Inn. Not much else to do in Banbury though.

Staff was great and very helpful. Rooms were very clean and tidy, room service every day. Great full english breakfast plus fruit, cereal, toast with tea and coffee. Only complaint I have is very low water pressure on garden view rooms.

I know Banbury very well and have always found it a charming Cotswolds town full of interesting buildings, pubs, good dining choices and so on. it is compact and so easy to get around and it is a good centre for exploring neighbouring counties, Wks, etc
Breakfast is the weak point. Booked hoping for options of a breakfast menu and hot fresh coffee and instead got shrink-qrapped croissant & muffins and coffee bag with a kettle that barely reached the power socket. What's more, there were staff mopping the floors in the morning but, despite there being a nice coffee machine on the bar, they would not/could not make guests coffee. Such a cute property that couldn't rustle up a quality breakfast was a major disappointment.
Excellent location and excellent staff. This place is a little gem and ideal location for Banbury Town centre only a 10 minute stroll away and 5 t the nearest pub. Sian ( the owner ) was fantastic from the minute we booked to the the minute we left with great Comms throughout. This lady cannot do enough for you so pleased don not hesitate to ask and she will help if she can. Tea , coffee in the room and even some homemade flap jacks !!
The hotel was a very short walk into Banbury - no taxis needed . Banbury is also near lots of other lovely Cotswold villages . The B and B was lovely with everything you needed for a break . Sian , the owner , was very helpful indeed beforehand and very hospitable whilst there . She was really pleasant and always had time for a chat . Nothing was too much trouble . The breakfast was also excellent and set us up well for the airshow !
Amazing breakfasts cooked by the wonderful hosts got me off to a fantastic start each morning. Free parking was a great addition for us. The hosts were very welcoming. I had to do remote work the day we checked out and they extended my check out as late as they could so I could work from my room but then generously let me l stay in their dining area to do work all day, no extra cost.
Visited for a one night stay with my elderly father as we needed to be in the area. Staff very helpful to us. Late arrival and early start so we were not able to sample the breakfast but the room was clean and comfortable. The bad wasn't as comfortable as my own but ok for a short stay. Overall very pleased and good value for money for the area.
We were cycling around some areas of Oxfordshire for the long bank holiday weekend and needed a place to stay. This was great, everything clean, staff was super nice, they had a space to securely store our bikes and the food was amazing. We were not expecting this much from a pub accommodation, it was a pleasant surprise :)
Location excellent and the staff where really friendly, but the rooms are dated and tired and the back of the hotel isn’t in keeping with the rest of it. It’s a wonderful old building and to say it’s the oldest building in Banbury they could make a more in keeping job on the back building.
great location - 10 minute walk to town. Lovely friendly hosts - gave excellent tip on where to eat. Lovely comfy bed and bright spacious room with nice ensuite. Beautiful gardens - if in Banbury area again will definitely use this B & B again. Great also if visiting Oxford.
Bed was comfy, big pillows, nice temperature room and we were in a quiet room away from the slamming door to our annexe of hotel rooms downstairs.
Large bathroom, clean towels. Food at breakfast was nice and they were able to give me some gluten free toast and soya milk.
Lovely welcome, comfy and clean room and clean functional bathroom. Ample off-street parking away from the road. 5 min walk to town. Great breakfast options including takeaway. Will stay again when working in the area. Thanks!
Very good Full English breakfast. Hotel well placed for the activities that brought me to Banbury. Staff very helpful - e.g carrying bag up to my room. Bed comfortable and I had two very good (for me) ngihts' sleep.
The building was vintage in style and it had lots of lovely features. The staff were great and very helpful throughout our stay.
A must visit when in the area!
Quiet area, private parking, very friendly and helpful owners, great views and good facilities. Well worth a trip to Hook Norton Brewery for breakfast too.
