Easington Guest House

We had a room on the ground floor, Room 16, overlooking the side garden with the cars parked beyond that. Positives: it's a "period" house with character and a sitting room with couches; the room was clean and had all the expected basic amenities. Negatives: the double bed was the smallest double we had ever encountered. Noting the small room size, we felt that this - in other lodgings - would be a single room. Aside from this, we could hear other occupants and TVs at various times.

I stayed at Easington House for one night and I was very pleased with my choice. The service was great, the room was lovely and cozy and I very much enjoyed breakfast. No complaints whatsoever. Should I need accomodation in Banbury again, then I know who to contact.

Return visit, beautiful old farmhouse within a short walk from the town centre. We stayed in a twin room at the back of the building, lovely and quiet. Very clean, we were provided with towels, toiletries and tea facilities. Didn't have breakfast but it smelt delicious. We will return when in the area for business.

DANGER TO HEALTH Do not expect to sleep in this property until the person in the room above decides to go to bed, the floor creaking is unbelievable. We were lucky to get 4 hours sleep. At 12.30am I had to go and knock their door and explain we were unable to sleep due to their constant running around they did not stop immediately and started again very early. A cursory 'sorry' regarding the upstairs tenant did not really cut it from the owner next morning. While I appreciate it was beyond their control the room rented to us was for sleeping in and was obviously not fit for purpose. While it is no longer a legal requirement to PAT test electrical items we noted the kettle and TV had not been done 1) at all and 2) since 2021, however, IT IS a legal requirement to clean and descale a shower head at least quarterly. We felt unable to use the shower due to the state of its head as it can lead to Legionnaires' disease. A bath? not a good option since on lifting the rubber bathmat various and multiple patches of mould were visible. The light switches in the bedroom and paintwork on the inside of the bathroom door were filthy. The breakfast (which we did not have) sounded very mean for the price, the broadband is apparently VERY iffy due to the width of the stone walls and the write up in the room reads like Faulty Towers. The location is excellent but the accommodation is over priced for its quality. Having run rental accommodation ourselves for many years we speak from experience.

Perfect getaway, from a short walk into the town centre and easy driving into the Cotswolds. Was greeted warmly by the receptionist and given the details i needed for my stay. The Housekeeping staff came into my room daily and made my bed and topped up supplies ie tea, coffee etc. I enjoyed breakfast for a couple of the mornings of my stay, the Full English is a must, good quality bacon & sausages. Give it a try if staying in Banbury.

This was a lovely period guesthouse and place to stay if you’re ever in Banbury. It’s close to town centre and has all you’ll need, whilst visiting. Debby, the host, is very accommodating and welcoming. Hopefully, if I’m that way again… I’ll stay with you next time I visit.. Thank you
