My nights stay at Avonlea Guest House

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.

How can this place be described an Exceptional, have none of the previous guests stayed anywhere else. Our room 3 could not have been any smaller with the tiniest en suite. Breakfast was fine and room was clean but exceptional never.

Sian was so kind and welcoming, she did everything she could to make us comfortable, adding a fan to the room and providing cold water on a very warm night. Lovely breakfast, a really clean and comfortable home.

A lovely host and stay

Booked at short notice as we needed somewhere to stay in Banbury whilst we helped our daughter move. Sian was very helpful as we were unsure when we would be able to check in and offered us extra arrangements if we arrived later in the day. A warm welcome, a lovely room and breakfast was superb. Sian also gave us some pieces of her lovely flapjack to take with us when we returned to Leamington Spa to continue unpacking for the house etc. We are spoilt by living in a quiet cul-de-sac and I forgot my earplugs (and it was a warm night so we needed a window open) so I would just say there is some traffic noise through the night so do consider taking earplugs if you are a very light sleeper but we would not hesitate to stay again.

Excellent in Every Way

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!

Wonderful Guest House minutes from town

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.

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)

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
