Arriving at the hotel we were impressed with the style and ambience of the decoration, furniture and fittings. The receptionist continued the feeling of welcome with her friendly and efficient service. Part of the treat was to visit the cinema next door to the hotel for a performance of 'Warhorse' which lived up to our expectations. The Hotel is very... More

We booked off line as we had a wedding to attend close by and they were full. We are so glad we stayed here instead of the place where the reception was being held further down the road. We arrived at 10:30 Saturday morning and asked if it would be possible just to leave our bags and go to the... More

Stayed here as part of a Red Letters Day offer of Dinner Bed & breakfast inclusive, Checkin was brisk & efficient. Allocated room over looking the road but after a few moments in the room (which was very nice) decided to change as the traffic was audible through the non double glazed windows. Given room 52 which apparently has a... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review of our Hotel, and I hope that you are happy that the Ghost did not appear for you?

Lunch at Whateley Hall was a very pleasant experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the fish was particularly good, full of flavour. Vegetables were fresh and properly cooked, no sogginess. More

This hotel is located in the centre of Banbury near Banbury Cross. The car park is difficult to enter as it is through a narrow archway to the left of the hotel as you look at it. Reception was excellent and efficient and there is a nice open fire in the lobby. As it is an old hotel there are... More

We stayed at the hotel for a Christmas break in 2011. Very enjoyable. The hotel staff were pro-active in making all things pleasant and, with the fellow guests, we had a good time. It is an old building and gloomy in parts but that contributed to the atmosphere. A nice touch on Christmas Eve was a young persons choir in... More
