Highly recommended

I had a night's stop over at Banbury and chose Ashlea Guest House based on the positive reviews. I was not disappointed. I had a warm welcome from Julie and a quick check-in. Julie gave me a map of the locale and pointed out places to eat. My room was clean and had everything I needed - a super-comfortable kingsize bed, ensuite bathroom with plenty of hot water via an electric shower, big fluffy towels and some nice touches such as magnifying makeup mirror, cotton wool pads and buds. The room was lovely and quiet and I got a great night's sleep.

Julie and Ayman are great hosts. You do feel like you're a guest in their home. We had several fun conversations with them, and a couple of times found myself feeling like I was talking to an extended family member (Ayman and his strong feelings about diesel and electric cars comes to mind, as well as Julie and her careful breakfast service). Overall it was the personal experience we were hoping for as visiting Americans.

Only other thoughts are: there is no tennis court on site. That might be a mistakenly advertised amenity. And there are no other comfortable places to sit while on site, in case you find yourself on the property. These are minor things, of course, and if you're just using the place for sleep and breakfast, not a bother at all.

Recommend the place.

Wouldn’t recommend

It was good just to sleep and nothing else. The room overlooks to a very busy crossroad and there’s always car lights directly to your room regardless of the blocking curtains. The door lock didn’t seem safe and not too sure about where to check in/out as there wasn’t a desk or place to report to. Wouldn’t use again but not terrible.

Good location, very nice to the centre. Very good breakfast (so many ways to eat fresh eggs :) ) and very nice rooms. I'm generally really happy with my time in this property.

A couple of details:
* The toilets need a couple of flushes sometimes, it would benefit from more powerful ones
* insufficient amount of shampoo / body wash per person >>>
We were two people and staying for two nights. I found only one little container of body wash and shampoo for both of us for the two nights. I wasn't really happy with even having one per day, but I shut up. I was really disappointed to find out that the next day there weren't new shampoo/s waiting for us and I had to go down and ask. I was told that it was usually enough with one for two people for two nights... I was puzzled. Am I the only one who showers? Anyway, the lady gave me the required shampoo without further discussion.

Regardless of this episode, my stay was great, the breakfast really good and the location too.

Okay for the money paid, 5 minute walk into town.

Nice B&B which was close to the town centre, 5 minute walk. We were staying in the annex rooms which were a little small, bathroom smelt damp and obviously had a damp problem due to the chrome work accessories gone rusty. Good breakfast although the pastries weren't fresh but sealed packed ones, I'm guessing for ease. The owners were friendly and would recommend staying there to family and friends, maybe the house rooms are a larger size than the annex ones.

I had a stop-over at Banbury. I booked to stay with the Ashlea Guest House as there was a very comfortable room on offer at a good price. That day, I arrived late due to my travelling plans and had to leave early the next day to continue on to my final destination. I would have missed breakfast (served between 8-9 am and included in the room price) otherwise, however I was pleasantly surprised by the owners' kind gesture to leave some fruit, biscuits and a drink in my room the night before. I would say that is an excellent way to treat your guests and I am very thankful to them for it.

Not really a 4*

I stayed in the annex, the remote control was dirty, the window ledge was also dirty and due to the window being left open it also had a dead fly on it. I could hear every movement from everyone in the hotel, every creeky footstep and door slam at 1am when they got in and 6am when they got up which left me tired for the rest of the day. The beds were nice and comfy but the room was very small. In the night sometimes the light for outside wouldnt come on so youre struggling to open the front door in the dark and as a lone women that was scary.

I only saw the man on arrival and he was nice, the lady was also nice but it seemed very fake and like she was feed up. I probably wouldn't stay here again it is on the top of the hill and much too far out of the way from the rest of the main hotels (5 minute walk from the main shops up hill isn't the greastest) where my colleagues were staying. It shouldn't really be a 4 star.
