10/10 Exceptional

Lovely and welcoming place to stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at Wateley Hall. The staff were brilliant and very welcoming. The menu sadly did not have a gluten free starter but the chef was very accommodating and made me a special one that was gluten free. The food was very good and piping hot which was lovely. The waiter was very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Many thanks to all the team that made our stay so nice. Well done and we will definitely stay here again if we’re in the area. Highly recommended.

PHILIP, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good if a need with some love and attention!
The hotel is in a lovely location and the reception area and bar are very lovely to sit in. You almost expect Miss Marple to pass on through! The hotel is perhaps a little tired looking, but it does look like they are renovating and my double room was good especially the bathroom which was clean and looked reasonably new. Wifi was good, and the hotel was warm, very warm in fact! The coridors and expecially the carpets need renewing, but they were varnishing the wood work while there (wish I saw the wet paint sign before touching the banister!) Breakfast was excellent. Good choice of food. The only thing the room was not cleaned during my stay which may be by design, but wasn't mentioned, which meant I had to reuse cups (no big a thing for 2 nights and it makes it more eco friendly!)

Great option for a stay
We chose this venue as it was an affordable option for a quick stop - we were so impressed! The rooms were spacious and quiet and beautifully appointed, there was a lovely woman on reception who suggested a great restaurant for dinner across the road, and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. All in all a great stay

Great place to stay.
Pamela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We booked stayed in a junior suite in the main house, communication with reception was brilliant, they organised everything to have a great stay. The room was spotless, comfortable and surprisingly quiet as it was facing to the main road. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We also had food there and it was excellent. Definitely will go back if we plan to go to Banbury again.

General overview
Comfortable and clean hotel. Pleasant staff who were very helpful. Nice restaurant and bar. Hotel is in a good area close to restaurants and bars within walking distance. The hotel is a little tired but this doesn’t take anything away from it it is just an observation and I would stay there again.

Could be a gem
Whilst i appreciate this hotel has been reopened a little over a year and some refurbishment is underway the guest experience still gives an overall impression of tiredness The cleanliness and attention to detail of the rooms needs to be improved … sink dirty, not enough towels for the guests in the room. Breakfast area window shelves fall of dust! Painting underway in the stairway of the hotel … health and safety an issue I would be concerned with as loose sheeting over the staircase whilst workman in progress. The gem of this hotel are the staff in the bar and restaurant who are friendly professionals so thanks to our afternoon barman and Mel and Rees. This cannot be said for all staff as feel receptionist on check was abrupt without being courteous and as other guests have commented is eager to point at check in time .

Nice hotel in the centre of Banbury
We had a lovely stay in Banbury and the hotel being right in the town centre was perfect with free parking being a big plus. There were only a few minor points that stopped it being excellent e.g. intermittent tv remote, beside lamp not working and a luke- warm shower. They certainly didn't spoil our trip but, for me, prevent an excellent rating. I'd definitely stay here again though.

Situated in the heart of the town, the canal-side property is conveniently located near Banbury Cross, Castle Quay shopping center, and local transportation hubs. The receptionist provided exceptional customer service, offering valuable information and assistance.

Rooms could benefit from some TLC but great staff
Beautiful building with a lovely reception and dining room. Great staff but the room was in alright condition with the light falling out the ceiling and wallpaper peeling off. Bed was very comfy and the bathroom was very clean. Overall, the staff and cleanliness make this an average stay.
