The Three Pigeons Inn is a historic inn at 3 Southam Road in Banbury, set in a 17th-century thatched coaching inn. The building keeps period character inside, including exposed wooden beams, exposed brickwork, and low ceilings, so the stay has more of a traditional pub-with-rooms feel than a standard chain hotel layout.

The bedrooms are en-suite, giving each room its own private bathroom. Room details confirmed for this specific property include individually furnished rooms with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, and tea and coffee-making facilities. One room adds a writing desk, and another includes a sofa.

The stay works well for a short Banbury stop because breakfast is served at the property, and parking is available. The Three Pigeons Inn also has a restaurant and bar in the building, plus a garden terrace and courtyard area for sitting outdoors.

The pub side is a real part of the stay here. The bar serves real ales, traditional ciders, wine, and spirits, and the property also runs street food and events. The inn is dog friendly, which is useful if that is part of the trip.

The main limit is built into the age and style of the property: the 17th-century coaching inn has low ceilings. Travelers who prefer a modern hotel layout with uniform rooms should note that this is a character inn with historic features rather than a purpose-built contemporary hotel.
