10/10 Excellent
"Last minute booking, stayed for 3 nights and was not disappointed. Place of character and charm. Check-in staff member was extremely helpful and considerate with view of allocating a room that met the physical disabilities and needs associated of the person accompanying me. Room was large, clean and functional. Stayed during heat wave and a fan was supplied without having to request one. Staff greeted us in the mornings on arrival for breakfast and were accommodating. Handy for all amenities as situated centrally in Banbury Plenty of choice with breakfast. Hotel situated in beautiful grounds, very picturesque. Plenty of car parking which was a necessity when choosing a venue for us. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again"
