We went to visit family as I was born in Banbury but have lived in Banbury for the last 20 + years, so many memories and lovely people. Leamington spa is only a 5 mins train ride away where there's good nightlife and a good shopping area
Most small English towns are s**tholes full of Little Englander racist bellends, who voted to leave the EU because they're too thick to understand when people are pulling the wool over their eyes. Banbury has its fair share of those but is just about big enough for its redeeming features - lots of excellent pubs, restaurants and other venues, a hint of multi-culturalism, the canal, the proximity of the Cotswolds and its decent transport connections - to outweigh the chance of some illiterate meatheads spoiling your stay. Just, to quote Justin Sullivan, "Choose solid ground to make your stands and stay off the streets at closing time".
The acommodation in Banbury is poor in my opinion. Basic is perfectly acceptable, it doesn't have to be luxe, (nice if it is though) but has to be super clean, with good quality beds and fresh mattress cover each time. Fed up of staying in places where the bedding smells of other people or the duvets and pillows aren't regularly washed and it feels like there are creatures moving around inside of the textiles. Towels too more often than not infused with the aroma of other guests. Old soft beds which dip in the middle seem very common. Carpets ingrained with dirt, or rooms smelling of damp. When traveling for work, the importance of all this is vital when professional decisions can have such lasting effects. Night lights would be helpful to have in over lit bathrooms. Allowing guests to not be blasted by ghastly eco lighting during the night.
“Large, characterful bedroom in old part of hotel with beams, fireplace, period pictures, comfy settee and armchair. Adequate tea/coffee supplies. Large and modern bathroom with bathrobes and wide selection of bathroom consumables.”
“Close to the centre of Banbury. Parking out the front.”
“Fantastic Hotel, Food was amazing, very clean and staff very friendly/helpful.”
“Very friendly and helpful staff who were willing to put themselves out to assist. Nice garden at the rear for good weather. About a 10-15 minute walk from the railway station via the town centre. Plenty of places to eat locally with a Thai right opposite.”
“Clean and pleasant in all areas. Staff were very helpful with early arrival. Room recently refurbished, nice size and comfortable.”
