A beautiful building just near Banbury Cross with a large carpark. It was only a short walk to the old town and through the shopping centre to the canal We enjoyed a modern well appointed large room with sofa and Smart TV in the main building. It was unfortunate that because we were in a corner there wasn't a view of the beautiful gardens. The dining room was contemporary and did have that view. The menu had something for everyone and the food was delicious and incredibly well priced. Portions were large and service great. A good buffet breakfast was available for a small extra on booking. Overall an excellent value overnight stay.

8/10 Very good

Room was clean and well laid out - was good value for a suite and second room was well separated from bedroom for separation between parents and child. Bed was fairly comfy and on a hot day they did everything they could to cool the room down - windows opened and fan provided. Windows opened to rear of hotel so was nice and quiet. Dining room was nicely done out, breakfast was fine though only egg option on buffet was fried and not much selection in cereals or pastries. The teenage waiter looking at his phone most of the time also wasn't a great look. Hotel was conveniently located and parking at back seemed secure, although entrance and spaces were a bit narrow. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here again, but if I needed to stay in the area I wouldn't avoid it.

I feel the hotel would benefit from a strict housekeeper. You get the feeling it run on a shoe string .I understand the building is very old ,but the carpets are dirty.The chairs had stains .( Not sure what it was. )Skirting boards were dirty. Shower and toilet badly stained. The breakfast was fine . Plenty to eat. Young staff in the dining room very good.
