The receptionist was very helpful and friendly The room was really nice. The only drawback is we only had one towel for two people. But as soon as we told the receptionist she brought 1 some more up. There wasn’t any milk in the tea and coffee tray. and the window didn’t close properly so it let in the cold. and the curtains were quite light so they let in the light at night and morning

Feedback
Stayed one night, reception staff were friendly and helpful. Room was generally fine and bed comfortable. However window (secondary glazing inside a very old window) meant all noise from street outside was easily heard and there was quite a bit. Also temperature control on radiator almost impossible to move. I'm not really complaining, just providing hopefully helpful feedback on a couple of things that would be relatively easy to improve

We booked stayed in a junior suite in the main house, communication with reception was brilliant, they organised everything to have a great stay. The room was spotless, comfortable and surprisingly quiet as it was facing to the main road. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We also had food there and it was excellent. Definitely will go back if we plan to go to Banbury again.

Very good value for its central location, characterful building with a very pleasant garden. Breakfast m, at around £3.50 per head, was exceptional value. Downsides were that the towel-rail was on high heat with no means of controlling it, which meant that the bedroom was extremely warm and the bathroom like an oven! The heating seemed to affect the water as by morning the cold tap was dispensing piping hot water! We’d stay again, but would ask for extra bottles of water and hope that the heating situation was not as pronounced.

I understand with the recent rain some of the cleaning staff couldn’t get to work. We did have to wait for our room, but didn’t mind as the reception staff let us put our bags upstairs. Overall pretty clean as the poor staff had to work extra hard. It was appreciated.

The hotel which was historical was very clean and the staff worked hard to get the rooms ready for check in with limited staff; because the floods had made it difficult. Some of the decor needs updating but if its a listed building they may have restrictions.The bar area was beautiful the decor was lovely and looked as though it was one of the first things to have been refurbished. Location was great, we didnt eat in the restaurant other than breakfast which was a buffet style so you could have what you wanted. Car parking was good as the hotel stated; go through the arch to the back of the hotel and its free, at the front you will be charged with wardens patrolling.
