Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, and the host was very friendly
The shower was temperamental
Avonlea is located a short walk from the centre of Banbury. Sian was a lovely host.
Convenient for Banbury town centre and for visiting Oxford. Good off road parking. Comfortable room and an excellent breakfast.
Brilliant B&B, lovely breakfast, convenient location - many thanks

the check in was easy and adaptable as we were arriving later than planned. The host was lovely.
breakfast wasn't available at the advertised time and i had to leave for work without any
Excellent as usual. I have stayed here three times now and it's all been to the same high standard
Nothing.
We had the room on the ground floor at the front which could be noisy but fine when the window was closed. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a 10 minute walk into town for dinner. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Sian is an excellent host. Highly recommend.
Free parking, friendly host , good breakfast comfortable room.all facilities good.. easy to walk into town centre
Everything was fine
Room was small but clean. We had 2 large suitcases. Location was great and breakfast was lovely. Sharn was very welcoming. A great place to stay as we were transiting through to Heathrow.

Very helpful and welcoming host. Location excellent for Banbury town centre. Excellent breakfast. Good parking.
Vey noisy in room on front of house, but fine if windows closed. Shower tray not non-slip, so shower mat would be welcomed.
Super clean room, comfy beds and accommodating owner. We felt very welcome and will return again.
Location just a short walk to Banbury central. Comfortable beds. We had 2 singles Great parking The breakfast as good as you can get.
We were superbly looked after by our host who demonstrated many thoughtful touches to help us, bedraggled cyclists after a long day in the hot sun. Also the breakfast room was beautiful and the breakfast itself delicious. A perfect guest house.
The road was a little noisy but we were expecting that.
Sian, the owner, was lovely and very friendly. The room was comfortable and the breakfast excellent. Would definitely book again if in area.

All was well! Excellent for a visit of the area.
Favolosa! Siamo stati due notti e la camera è super accogliente con tutto il necessario! Parcheggio davanti alla struttura La proprietaria gentilissima ci ha preparato una super colazione inglese freschissima!!!
Great host, lovely clean room excellent breakfast
Superb
Everything was spot on! From a swift check in, local information - I went to The Three Pigeons ' for a drink - highly recommend. Sian was so helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked and brilliant. The room - delightful and the bed was extremely comfortable - I slept like a log.

Good location and room. Nice breakfast and host very kind and helpful.
Really well presented & clean with a delicious fresh breakfast, within walking distance of the town centre. Would recommend.
The only thing that could have made it better would have been a fan in the room.
This is an exceptional B&B and Sian is such a fantastic host. The room was stylish and super-clean, the breakfast was absolutely delicious, and Sian went out of her way to accommodate our timings and make sure we had everything we needed. Can't recommend enough!
Nothing - it was superb!
Gutes englisches Frühstück.
Just a walking distance to the train station and the city centre. Sian is also an exceptional host who went extra mile to provide my son with his special request of crumpets for breakfast. That's an absolute nice touch to our stay. She also offers full English breakfast which believe me, you'll last for the day! 😄 The guesthouse is also remarkably clean. We can tell how the host Sian takes extra good care of the property.
Nothing to complain about.
Nice stay with a very good breakfast, very clean
Very clean & well presented. Friendly staff. Good location.
All good.
Excellent all round. I echo previous reviews by saying you’re a lovely, friendly and accommodating host, we had a lovely clean room with en suite and a lovely breakfast. We’ll hopefully be back again 👍
Sian was the perfect host . She couldn't do enough for me. The breakfast was fantastic. Great position for getting into town.
It was all brilliant
The host of the property was very kind and let me check in early for a wedding i had in the afternoon in the next town, the breakfast was amazing full English and perfect remedy after the night before before my journey home, there was also yogurts, fruit and cereal available. The room was spotless and also there was some homemade flapjack left in the room which i had when i arrived back in the room with a coffee The shower was very nice and again spotless, i really enjoyed my stay despite not spending much time at the property and if i ever need to stay in Banbury again i will not hesitate to return and would recommend it to anyone
There was nothing to dislike
Excellent , just a rather busy road location
A lovely little b'n'b, the owner is very kind and helpful. The room was very clean and had everything that was needed for my stay.
It was a lovely place to stay and probably one of the very best nights sleep I have had ! The room was lovely and beds were comfortable, the shower was good and it was very quiet in there. At breakfast, the lady was happy to listen to my food allergy information and come up with a safe cooked breakfast that I could eat ... now this part is worth its weight in gold !! Would definitely recommend this place and the parking is free too.
There was a bit too much air freshener in the room when we arrived but it wore off
Traditional B&B which was comfortable ,clean and close to the towns amenities. The breakfast was exceptional, lots of choice and very good quality. Great value for money !
Nothing not to like.
Location;; off road parking available. Marvellous hospitality. Siam is friendly, welcoming and a thoughtful owner.Breakfasts are amazing in a friendly dining room
Nothing to dislike
The room was just what I needed. Sian was very welcome on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. The bed was very comfortable, and the room temperature was perfect. Breakfast was amazing, cereals and full English available, with plenty of toast and coffee.
friendly ,helpful host. Lovely breakfast and homemade flapjack was a nice touch. Location good for exploring Oxford, Bicester and the Cotswolds. Thank you Sian.
Vriendelijk ontvangst door de gastvrouw. Alles was heel netjes en schoon. Eigen parkeerplaats.
Zou het niet weten?
The location of Avonlea a few minutes from Banbury town centre and it's many eateries is a big plus. Having an off road car park is a big bonus and when parking gets a bit tight ,our host Sian becomes a parking attendant. Sian herself could not be faulted for her professionalism and friendliness, our room was excellent as was breakfast the next day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Avonlea when visiting Banbury.
Lovely room with really comfy beds. Very clean B&B. Didn't have the full breakfast, but other guests breakfast looked lovely. The landlady Sian was very friendly and helpful.
Very clean room and bathroom, delicious breakfast.. Very close to town center, where we found a really good Italian restaurant.
A bit noisy in the morning, as it is on a main road (comfortably to sleep with closed windows, but not with them open)
The room was lovely. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was spotless.
Very little to complain about. If you are a light sleeper you might prefer a room at the rear as there is some road noise.
Compact room but had everything we needed including home made flapjack!
The road was noisy when window open
Best B&B in Banbury, clean, handy for town centre and Sian the landlady is lovely.
There is nothing to fault. I stay here every time I am in Banbury.
Brilliant breakfast and plenty... lovely welcoming host.
Knus guest House, vriendelijke medewerkers.

Breakfast was really superb. Cleanliness was very good, room was okay; a touch tight but en suite spacious.
Single bed along with the double bed taking space up.
Very nice room and nice modern bathroom. Everything was spotless.
Very clean, welcomed warmly and food was superb. Not the largest bedroom but clean tidy and well laid out. Will go back
As stated it isn't the largest room but that was expected. Great value in an area where you expect to pay quite a bit more and compared to two other stays in Banbury it wins hands down
We stayed two nights while visiting family. We wanted a clean, comfy, friendly b&b which is exactly what we got. The breakfast was delicious too.

Very helpful, welcoming, and nothing too much trouble. Great location and good breakfast

Everything about Avonlea Guest House exceeded expectations. The owner was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the stay feel personal from the moment I arrived. The facilities were spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need. The breakfast each morning was outstanding—fresh, generous, and clearly prepared with care. The atmosphere throughout the house was warm and inviting, making it truly feel like a home away from home
Honestly, I couldn’t fault anything. Every detail was taken care of, and the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable.
Very welcoming. Sian couldn't do enough for me. I felt at ease throughout my stay.
Nothing. It was fab.
Parking available and close to town. The host very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was very good and cooked to perfection and cooked to order.
The double room was on the small side so if we stay again will try for an upstairs room
Everything, bed was comfy, room was clean, breakfast was great, host was so welcoming and helpful
We loved everything apart from the busy road, which can't be changed and is in no way an issue with the host or the guest house. The ensuite was a little small, again that's a personal thing.
Très bonne adresse confortable et très bien située en plein centre avec un parking sur place. Très bonnes prestations : excellent petit déjeuner - accueil très prévenant. Merci pour le séjour
Good parking, easy access to room. Quiet
Nice room and great breakfast!
Our room was clean, comfortable and we had a very good breakfast. The owner Sian was helpful with her local knowledge of where to eat out, The Guest house is situated in a quiet area but a short walk to the town centre which is perfect. When in the area we would definitely use again.
Lovely place to stay. Sian is a lovely host, ensuring the room is clean, comfortable and cosy. The bathroom is immaculate. Her breakfast is tailored to your choice and beautifully presented. It really is a lovely place to stay.

Clean, warm rooms, comfortable beds, brilliant hot and powerful shower. Walking distance to town with plenty of recommendations from Sian our host and a delicious made to order breakfast in the morning.
Sian was a lovely host who looked after us so well. Extremely comfortable and well designed rooms. Exceptional breakfast and services. Thank you Sian! We can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Oxfordshire.

T here wqs notgibg to not like
Amazing Breakfast, quality ingredients, well cooked. Really comfortable bed and duvet. Room warm, bathroom comfortable. Off street parking a real bonus, easy to find. Friendly host. Will definitely stay again when next in the area.
The room wasn't very big for a double, limited room at table for working, but still manageable. Plenty of space to work in the breakfast room if required.
The breakfast was delicious, and the service so friendly. I loved the homemade flapjack on arrival too.
Lovely welcoming friendly guest house with a fantastic breakfast. Close to all the restaurants and shops in Banbury. Would definitely stay again if revisiting Banbury. Banbury is a really lovely town with lots of interesting old pubs.
