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
Sian is a great host, on hand of you need her yet she doesn't intrude on your space.
Avonleigh is well located for all that you need to visit in Banbury. A small guest house with parking, very well maintained rooms, homemade flapjacks on the welcome tray. Breakfast is what ever you so desire and cooked to perfection. Sian also allows you to keep any specialist dietary foods in the breakfast room fridge. This is the second time that i have stayed here whilst visiting family in the area and it won't be the last! Great value for money.
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.
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 !
Room was as expected, clean and pleasant. The wine menu is amazing! So many great bottles to try. I tried to get a bottle ordered to my room for when me and my partner arrived back from the wedding however, they did not put the bottle in my room, yet added the bottle to my bill so I had to explain what happened and they were very helpful and took it off the bill. The location is stunning, very cute.
The room was large and very clean although the sloping ceiling and very low door proves a challenge for someone who is 6ft. The bathroom was very clean and the breakfast was excellent and served promptly and with a smile. Parking was easy and we were met by friendly staff. I must say it was nice to see a hotel still adhering to Covid rules. So many have dispensed with them to their detriment.
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.
Michelle was a delight - very friendly, warm, and helpful. Could not ask for a better experience. Her home is charming and our room warm and comfortable.
Breakfast was perfect.
We will certainly stay with Michelle and Paul again when next we're in Banbury!
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 breakfast was good, I liked the fact that it was freshly cooked and tailored to my requirements. Everything else was pretty much as I hoped for. It was nice to stay in a hotel with character.
Lovely to find this little place in a quiet village. The landlord could not have been more welcoming. I will gladly return next time I am in that area.
