Guests find the location convenient for Banbury’s centre, restaurants and transport, with off street parking and easy access from the M40. Rooms are comfortable and quiet for many, though several note that some are on the small side, and one review mentioned a damp smell. Overall, expect a homely, well run stay in a convenient Banbury base.

I loved my stay for 3 nights! Sian is a perfect host, and my single room upstairs overlooking the back garden was very quiet, had a very comfortable bed, a chair, and plenty of spaces, surfaces, and hooks to put things in or on. I could sit in the breakfast room any time of the day if I wanted a table space for working on a laptop, and I was welcome to store items in the fridge. Delicious cooked breakfast of any version of a Traditional English you prefer, plus cereal, yoghurt, fruit, juices. Easy walking to excellent restaurants, pubs, Waitrose, the Town Centre, Lock 29 and Castle Quay, coach or rail stations. This lovely English guest house is a treasure!

Extremely charming hostess made our stay very enjoyable. It’s a small B&B (5 rooms), with average size rooms, but immaculately clean, very comfortable (ie nice size and firm bed, lovely temperature maintained during quite chilly weather etc). The cooked breakfast was delicious and there was ample off street free parking. The town centre is a 5 minute walk away. There were plenty of very good restaurants within walking distance. Lots of nice places to visit in the vicinity. Would recommend the place to anyone wanting to stay in a quiet area of Banbury.

A very warm and friendly welcome again, everything was perfect, lovely clean and well decorated/finished room, very comfortable bed and great shower. The breakfast was excellent and keeps you going all day. The location is great as just a short walk into town Centre so no need to move the car which can be parked off road out front. A great place to stay and would thoroughly recommend for any visit

Positives : Downstairs double not much room but Bed was comfy and bedding lovely. Easy parking Hostess was very helpful with her personal touches. Negatives - Room smelled unpleasantly of damp. Would have liked the choice of tinned tomatoes rather than little round fried for breakfast(personal choice)

Everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast delicious and you can have pretty much what you want. I would definitely stay here again

The Avonlea guest house is easy to find and ideally placed for the town being only 5 minutes walk away. The Host was welcoming, and I found the guest house to be clean and homely and comfortable. Even down to the home made flapjacks left in the room, which I thought was a nice touch. The breakfast was excellent. I would stay here again.

There was a good choice for breakfast, nicely presented, very homely, and attention to detail.

It’s a small B&B (5 rooms), with average size rooms, but immaculately clean, very comfortable (ie nice size and firm bed, lovely temperature maintained during quite chilly weather etc). The cooked breakfast was delicious and there was ample off street free parking. The town centre is a 5 minute walk away. There were plenty of very good restaurants within walking distance. Lots of nice places to visit in the vicinity. Would recommend the place to anyone wanting to stay in a quiet area of Banbury.

Sian welcomed us to a wonderful overnight experience with full English breakfast. Just a short walk to the Thai Orchid restaurant for a superb evening meal. 5-10 mins walk to Banbury Cross of nursery rhyme fame.

Lovely welcome, nice room and quiet setting, albeit on a main road. Very close to good restaurants and pubs. A thoroughly nice experience.

Wonderfully welcoming and friendly host, small but comfortable room, spotlessly clean with a modern bathroom. Great breakfast, even catered for Gluten Free. Easy walking distance to town with free parking, would always stay here and happy to thoroughly recommend.

Great place to stay just off the M40 . Very comfortable, lovely welcome, near plenty eating places and a fantastic breakfast this morning. The homemade flapjacks were gorgeous. Would definitely recommend.

Spotlessly clean in a great location within an easy walk of the centre of Banbury. Got a lovely reception on arrival, excellent breakfast and lots of nice little touches e.g. home made flapjack in the room.

I loved my stay for 3 nights! Sian is a perfect host, and my single room upstairs overlooking the back garden was very quiet, had a very comfortable bed, a chair, and plenty of spaces, surfaces, and hooks to put things in or on. I could sit in the breakfast room any time of the day if I wanted a table space for working on a laptop, and I was welcome to store items in the fridge. Delicious cooked breakfast of any version of a Traditional English you prefer, plus cereal, yoghurt, fruit, juices. Easy walking to excellent restaurants, pubs, Waitrose, the Town Centre, Lock 29 and Castle Quay, coach or rail stations. This lovely English guest house is a treasure!

This is a lovely guest house and Sian is the perfect host. Her cooked breakfast is fantastic, and there are lots of other alternatives if that's not for you. Rooms are very comfortable and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Would most definitely recommend.

My stay at Avonlea was very welcoming, room was comfortable. Sian was very helpful with information about the area, even though I stayed only one night, I did manage to have a Quick Look around the town, which was a few minutes away, so very convenient. There was a good choice for breakfast, nicely presented, very homely, and attention to detail.

I stayed for 3 nights. Sian the host is really lovely. She even gave me some hair conditioner as mine ran out. The flapjack on arrival was also a welcome treat after my very long journey. Everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast delicious and you can have pretty much what you want. I would definitely stay here again

This was a lovely place to stay. The room was beautifully decorated as was the en-suite which was modern and stylish. There was no road noise and black out curtains ensured the room was dark. The proprietor was friendly as well as incredibly helpful. Breakfast was excellent with many options available. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
