pleasant stay with room for improvement

The breakfast room offered a bright atmosphere with a lovely view of the back garden. The continental breakfast selection was diverse and satisfying, enhancing the start of my day.

Charming historic building with lovely gardens

I truly enjoyed the stay in this charmingly decorated historic building. The lush gardens at the back were a delightful surprise, perfect for relaxation after a long day. the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, particularly the condition of the shower and bathroom. the atmosphere and surrounding area make it worth a visit.

Request a room in the newer wing for a more spacious layout and a lovely garden view.

The charming decor created a cozy atmosphere, yet the bathroom design was impractical.

Had a lovely stay for one night. The spacious bathroom was a pleasant surprise and the comfortable bed made for a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was also excellent, with plenty of choices!

The buffet breakfast was delicious and I loved relaxing by the fire in the lounge after a long day. There’s also a lovely garden area where you can unwind, which really added to the experience. My room could hear the street noise a bit, but it didn’t ruin my stay at all. 😊

I truly enjoyed the charming decor at Whately Hall Hotel. The elegant peacock wallpaper and rich dark green walls create a cozy atmosphere, while the accessible layout makes it easy for seniors like me to navigate comfortably around the common areas.

Better lift access for upper floors would help seniors.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The breakfast was one of the highlights, with plenty of delicious options available, and the stunning garden view while we ate was a treat for the whole family. The staff were accommodating and friendly, making us feel at home.

My kids wished there were more activities for teens in the evening to keep them engaged. It would be great to see game rooms or some entertainment options specially catered for younger guests.

It was just an ideal choice for a quick weekend visit in Banbury with good value. The room had a beautiful view of the gardens that made my stay more enjoyable. Make sure to check your room's amenities before settling in.

My recent stay at Whately Hall was pleasant overall. The room was spacious and comfortable, featuring a lovely view. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a substantial selection, including fresh fruits and traditional English options. The location is excellent, with easy access to local restaurants and cafes, making it convenient for business meetings.

Parking can be tricky for larger vehicles due to the narrow entrance.

i had a lovely stay at whately hall. the location was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. i was pleasantly surprised to check in early, which made my trip much easier. the room was quiet, even after a function, allowing for a peaceful night's sleep.

do recommend

We had a spacious room with a lovely garden view. The location was super convenient for exploring local attractions.

felt very well taken care of, no complaints whatsoever

Can't recommend highly enough for a brief pit stop

Comfortable room, helpful staff, the location made it easy to explore nearby attractions and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of the bar and lounge area.

Everything was spot on.

Solo traveler looking for comfort

The room was a good size and painted in some depressing shades of grey but the bed was like sleeping on clouds and I can’t forget the breakfast buffet with lots of great choices including pastries and full English options

It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable since it had its highlights

Oh, the grub at Whately Hall was a real treat! The breakfast spread was top-notch, with a choice of pastries and a cracking full English that set me up for the day. Plus, there’s a fab restaurant just across the road that the lovely reception lady pointed us to, and it didn’t disappoint!

A heads up—some areas of the hotel are still in need of a bit of sprucing.
