“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

We only had one night at Prospect House and wish we ciould have stayed longer. Thank you so much, Caroline, and such a pity (for us!) that Nick was away.

Room Tip: We didn't stay in one of the garden rooms as they were already booked - but we'd try to choo...

I am in Banbury on a short work contract I have stayed at Prospect House since first week of July and I am still here because the place is nice they have a lovely garden and the breakfast is to die for, I have only missed it once. Rooms are clean and tidy. It is close to town and the train station. I have a bike which I live here on the weekend, they dont mind. I would recommend it to anyone coming to Banbury.

“Excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

My elderly mother and I stayed here, whilst my brother was in Horton Hospital and Caroline could not have been kinder.
She charged our phones, arranged for us to eat our take away in her beautiful gardens, lovely room and really great breakfast.
Big thank you Caroline for giving us such a comfortable stay during a really traumatic time for us.
We plan to return with a nicer reason to visit!

“Prospect House will be my first choice every time from now on!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

I stayed at Prospect House for one night (30/7/11) as I was visiting friends in Banbury. It was my first stay at this lovely guest house and it was a very pleasant experience. I visit this particular group of friends every few months and have stayed in quite a few B&Bs and hotels in Banbury before.....I will now always try Prospect House as my first choice of accommodation!

I was welcomed by the very friendly lady who owns Prospect House, she showed me to a lovely, clean and very comfortable double bedroom that had a spotlessly clean en-suite shower and loo (hand basin was in bedroom itself, but was equally clean). There was complimentary bottled water, tea and coffee making facilities (& biscuits) and also a large selection of bathroom bits and bobs such as soap, shower gel, shower cap, tissues etc etc....everything I could have needed basically. A note on door said that iron and hair dryer were available if needed.

Breakfast was delicious and there was a very large and varied selection to choose from, including cereals, fruit, cheeses, juices, and a long list of cooked choices. I had the full English and the quality was very good indeed.

The position of Prospect House was perfect for my stay, it took me only 5 minutes or so to walk down the hill to the town centre to meet my friends and a shared taxi ride back at the end of the night was only a couple of pounds as it was not very far from the town.

There is nothing negative I can say about this guest house, and I look forward very much to staying there again in a few months, I am very pleased to have found such a nice (and very reasonably priced!) place to stay on my regular visits to Banbury!
