I've stayed twice at this guest house and felt comfortable on both occasions. The buidling has a lot of character, the open fire at the reception area was impressive - unless you don't like woodsmoke! - and the staff were very friendly without being intrusive. The full Englsih breakfast was spot on. The first time I stayed the only room available was a double, whch was a nice size. The second occasion was a stay in a single room. Its ground floor location was good regarding carrying bags but there was less space in the room. On both occasions there was a good shower in the en-suite bathroom and the beds were comfortable. Freeview television is provided, but no radio/alarm. The lounge is small and cosy; it was useful when it was necessary to prepare work with a business colleague staying at the same place. WiFi is provided free for guests. The licensed restaurant provided a limited range of evening meals and alcoholic drinks but the quality was more than acceptable. There are some cheaper eating places a short walk away into the centre of Banbury. Eating your own food in the bedroom is not encouraged. Would I stay again if in the area? Despite some less expensive accommodation not far away, more than likely.

Stayed for one night at Easington House booked via Booking.com. Warm reception and speedy check in process as paperwork and receipt already sorted before we arrived. Arrival time is 4pm but would have loved to have arrived earlier for no extra charge but this is usual check in times for B+Bs. Saying that this lovely looking house was more like a small hotel as it provides evening meals and a wine and beer selection. Parking area at back of house small but adequate. Our double ensuite room was on the small size but very comfortable and for one night it was excellent value for money. As other reviews have mentioned some of the carpets and furnishings have been well used and loved and I'm sure there are plans to renew the corridor carpets when able. Comfortable bed (pillows slightly flat) and lovely toiletries. Although we had requested a table for an evening meal at time of booking our hostess wasn't aware of this but quickly accepted that we had and made us welcome. Small dining room but a great Xmas tree does take up some room. Food was home cooked and very enjoyable, we loved it. Apple pie straight from the oven and pastry so crisp and light. All our fellow guests seemed to enjoy it just as much and there was a lovely friendly atmosphere evident during our stay probably because the staff were so friendly and genuine. Just one slight negative was the older cooking smells aroma which were fairly strong. This would easily be rectified by a more powerful extractor fan in the kitchens. Hopefully this comment will be taken as constructive as we really do rate this accommodation and food and service very highly. Looking forward to returning again in the future. So much more pleasant than expensive fancy hotels with sulky staff!! Thank you.

I visited this guest house whilst visiting a friend in the area. The room was a lot smaller than expected, and so was the bathroom, shower was a little complicated to use. Room was at very top, on 2nd floor and it was noisy at night cus of main road traffic.
Very clean, although not much on hospitality tray! Half a bottle of water was left!
One pack of biscuits. Had afternoon tea in restaurant, which was good quality.nice open fire by front door when you get into reception.
Parking very squashed at the back, and the hotel wasn't full.
Very good breakfast with variety of food.

We spent a Saturday night here, on a weekend away in Oxfordshire.

We stayed in one of two rooms on the top floor - it was a cosy room with an en suite bathroom (with a bath and shower head, but no shower). The wooden beams gave it a real country feel.

We arrived at 7pm and Debbie, the manager, was more than willing to accomodate us in the resturant. It was nice home-cooked food.

As for breakfast, we were offered cereal, juices, yoghurts and fresh fruit, followed by a full English breakfast. They also offered various cooked breakfasts, eg smoked salmon and eggs.

Our only (minor) complaints were that the walk from the station was a little awkward (it is up a steep hill, however it was only a short walk from the town centre, and this wouldn't be an issue anyway if you were driving), and the room had no automatic shower.

The hotel was very homely, and Debbie the manager was very friendly.

Overall it was well worth the money we paid to stay there.
