With a family member in the Horton Hospital whately hotel was in a great location to be close by, a 2-minute drive. The hotel has its own free car park through the entryway passage toward the rear of the hotel. I must say I was glad we were in our small car. I pulled in the wing mirrors.. We found access from the parking lot to the garden and into the main building to the front desk. Check-in was straightforward, and we were in the cosy twin room (room 50 overlooking the garden) within a few minutes. After doing a quick check of the room amenities happy to find everything working and clean. The bathroom was great, feat a big overhead shower and a hot bathroom radiator, along with big fluffy bath towels. There was a massive range of TV channels great for relaxing in bed. The ladies at dinner were lovely, a small but nice menu to choose from. The breakfast buffet was okay. Work is ongoing at the hotel, and there were workmen in and around the building during the days. We’re back in a week so really hoping for a similar good experience! :)

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

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.

Just an overnight stay. We were upgraded to a suite which was very nice at the front of the property. Everything was very good except there was no hot water to shower. We were going out for the evening, but the shower problem was recetifed for the morning shower. We didnt eat there and had to leave early.

Very disappointed with this hotel. They clised both the restaurant and bar on the Saturday evening as they had a charity ball. We were not notified of this so had to find somewhere else to eat. After complaining they did serve us a drink in the reception area. Brwakfast in the morning was very disappointing. I have a food allergy and the attitude towards this was extremely disappointing being told im sure its ok. After questioning i did eventually get a slice of gf bread but was told thats all they had. The tea and coffee was in large thermos flasks and the tea in particular was awful. The quality of the items provided was poor. The overall impression was this was an unloved property that was just doing the bare minimum necessary. We definitely would not return. The staff though were very polite

Great option for a stay
We chose this venue as it was an affordable option for a quick stop - we were so impressed! The rooms were spacious and quiet and beautifully appointed, there was a lovely woman on reception who suggested a great restaurant for dinner across the road, and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. All in all a great stay

Situated in the heart of the town, the canal-side property is conveniently located near Banbury Cross, Castle Quay shopping center, and local transportation hubs. The receptionist provided exceptional customer service, offering valuable information and assistance.
