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.
Lovely bar area with cosy atmosphere. Helpful staff. Good sized and attractively decorated restaurant with great food - in the evening the dinner menu was excellent and a very good breakfast too. The bedrooms were perfectly adequate but a little tired in decor and lighting. Very nice to be able to walk from our room to the restaurant/bar. The location of the pub was really good, enabling us to walk out of the front door and into the market square. Also being just off the Oxford Banbury A road, meant it was easy getting about.
We stayed at Virginia House en route to London from the Lake District. Unfortunately, our stay was too short! This B&B was one of the best all-around accommodations of our three-week trip to England and Scotland. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the location perfect for our needs, and the breakfast fresh and varied. We had brioche French toast, which was not offered at any other B&B. Mike and Barbara are warm & friendly hosts. If we are able to return on another vacation, Virginia House will be on top of our list!
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.
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.
Ayman and Julie could not have been more friendly or helpful. They made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The Guest House was in a very good position, both for Cherwell Hospital and walking into Banbury centre. The room and facilities were very clean and comfortable. There was a good breakfast choice, and the cooked food was amazing. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
The hotel room was lovely; nice, modern and clean, with good facilities. The hotel also looked the part from outside too, and was situated not too far from the centre of Banbury, meaning we were at walking distance from the town, which was nice. Helen was an excellent host too, very friendly and welcoming. For what we got, the value for money was great as well.
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.
Amazing hospitality and very welcoming family-run owners. Thank you all! Easy large free parking on site and less than 5 minutes drive to Banbury city centre and M40. The room is beautifully newly designed, and the bed is super comfortable. Breakfast is tasty too, with a large proportion and 5-star service! I will definitely book again!
Hotel quirky which was great. However it is outdated in many areas. Public loos poor. Needs new carpets throughout. YOUNG STAFF VERY GOOD. Older staff not so good. Lovely situation. I liked the mix of quirky with some lovely modern furniture. Just needs updating. Lovely garden. Well looked after. Room 52 with ghost…. Brilliant
Charming, convenient, quiet location to break our journey on the way to the south coast. The added bonus was good ale in the pub and an excellent sharing platter of Greek deliciousness. Getting some fresh air with a walk through the village was also very pleasant. The Stags Head beats the chain hotels by miles.
Location was good with convenient car park, free wi-fi and friendly staff. Bedroom was spacious with lovely garden view. Although bath was on the narrow side, the shower was lovely and easy to operate. Also food was tasty, even though menu was limited. Menu could have
Conveniently located mordern updated hotel within 10 mns walk of Banbury, very pleasant and friendly hosts, room was very clean and modern with great facilities, although the hotel is on a bust main road we slept very well in a comfy bed. will definitely return
Excellent location in the North of the Cotswolds - one of the best villages in the area. Good proximity to Banbury, Oxford, Warwick and Stratford. Lot of character to the cottage and area. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen.
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 nice, clean room with a comfortable bed. The breakfast was delicious. The service was great. We loved the location. It was close to the quaint little town of Banbury and Banbury Cross. Highly recommend!
Location for visiting The Cotswolds very good. Easy walk, if wanted, to Banbury town centre. Excellent, safe parking.
Very large comfortable beds. Lovely breakfast. Great hosts.
Mum and I stayed here and it was perfect for us. Great location within Banbury and the surrounding areas. Made very welcome
Will definitely be staying there again
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.
