Beds were comfortable and there was little noise from outside the building. Cooked breakfast (paid for separately) was good, but not exceptional, and poor value at £10 each.

Banbury itself is not the greatest spot (I used to live around the area for many years myself before moving away) however, there are so many other places to visit it doesn't matter. Banbury is excellent for grocery shopping with all tastes catered for and a range of supermarkets from Lidl up to Waitrose. Enjoy !

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.
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.
We very much enjoyed our one night stay at the Stag's Head. The location is lovely. The outside areas are greatly enhanced by lots of lovely planted pots. It has a Mediterranean feel. I had chicken Souvlaki and my husband Lamb Moussaka. Both were delicious. We also enjoyed our continental breakfast in the attractive dining area. The staff were excellent, the owner taking the trouble to chat to all guests. If you want a quiet break in a rural spot complete with a historical church at the top of the road this is it!!
Our hosts, Mike and Barbara were exceptional. We were able to check in early which gave us a head start for the day. The room was very well appointed, clean and well stocked. We had a room facing the road and had no issues with noise. You just need to be attentive as you approach the hotel as the road to the entrance looks more like an alleyway so can be missed. Location was great, 2 lovely pubs within walking distance of the hotel. We were close enough to Banbury and Oxford for day trips too. Highly recommended.
The hosts were extremly helpful and friendly. We were booked for tuesday night which is the night off for the restaurant; we were informed of this beforehand so went to Banbury to a restaurant. Therefore we can't comment on the restaurant facilities, but if the breakfast was an indicator then we missed a treat! we both felt that the accomodation was above and beyond our expectations. Thouroughly recommend and would definitely go there again if we visit the area again.
I booked a single room expecting it to be tiny but it wasn’t. The room had windows you could open-such a rare thing these days! For the money I paid, this stay exceeded my expectations. A clean, comfy room in a friendly hotel in the heart of a busy town - what a rare find! I didn’t have breakfast but the bar, and dining areas looked inviting. Car parking was great. The best thing was the friendliness of all staff I met. A smile makes all the difference.
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 !
Lovely property set within a small village, very quiet at night, parked car on road opposite property, safe and secure nice residential area, 10 mins into centre of Banbury 15 mins to M40. Plenty of restaurants around of all types. Breakfast was just perfect, freshly cooked and great selection, cereal, full cooked breakfast, cafetiere of freshly ground coffee, nice selection of toast,.
The location of this hotel from the main centre is excellent. The gentleman who I guess is the proprietor was very friendly. I liked the fact the our room was in the car park area as opposed to the main hotel. Also, if you're using the hotel as accommodation for going to a special event, there is an iron and ironing board which some hotels and B&B's lack.
Good location for us - we wanted to be close to Banbury, but outside the centre with easy parking. This met the requirement perfectly. Although we didn't eat in the hotel, the restaurant and bar area looked pleasant.
Easy to find and a very handy location for a night out in Banbury. Cheerful welcome and the the host allocated me a room with an extra long bed. Very fast wi-fi, which made me realise how poor other places are
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.
