Spacious rooms in a beautiful old pub. The food was 10/10 and the staff were very friendly.

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.

Charming hotel located in a small village of thatched cottages. We only stayed one night as a stop-over on our way to see other parts of the UK. I did not research the area to see what was near by for those who may want to stay more nights. Loved the decor and had a lovely outside garden area to relax, and enjoy drinks or meal. Food was very good, reasonably priced and friendly service. Dinner service was a bit slow however.

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)
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 location was excellent, it was peaceful with pleasant views of the Peoples Park and a bowling green (apartment block right next to these). The shops and restaurants of Banbury were only a couple of minutes stroll away, through the Park. A petrol station just round the corner. Places of interest and other towns/cities not far away. The apartment was new and modern, good kitchen area. Our host was easy to contact and anxious that our needs/issues were addressed & took note of these.
The location with lots of parking behind the hotel is perfect for walking to explore Banbury. Our high ceiling bedroom with large beams was very nice. The bathroom was very good with a good shower. The breakfast was very good with continental and full English on offer. We were shown a secret panel in a room that had a staircase which let upstairs-as this is a listed building the inside cannot be changed. The building is like stepping back in time.
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,.
Sian was an exceptional host! She went above and beyond our expectations. She made us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. She was welcoming and extremely helpful in helping us get to where we wanted to go visit. The room was very neat and clean. Breakfast was delicious!! We felt right at home! We would definitely stay at Avonlea again, if we're in the area again!!
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.
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.
Very clean, nicely decorated, very comfortable. The neighborhood appeared safe and for the most part, quiet. Beautiful park with an aviary and rose garden nearby. Can walk to grocery stores and more shops. Even walked to Castle Quay. Very charming area.
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!
Breakfast was very nice. Waitresses very friendly. Restaurant dining area very clean and comfortable. Good location for hotel. Lovely village. Beds very comfy Good price. Check out was easy and friendly
