The house

A house with a long story

Hornton ironstone, old beams and a fire in reception. A short history, as far as we know it.

  1. 12th century

    Close-up of the ironstone inglenook in reception, under an old oak beam

    An old site

    The site of Easington House is believed to date back to the 12th century.

  2. Over the centuries

    Close-up of the black cast-iron Victorian fireplace in the lounge

    A bishop, a reverend and a Washington

    Previous owners, we understand, include the Bishop of Lincoln, the Reverend Risley Cotton and George Washington's nephew. Sulgrave Manor, the Washington family's ancestral home, is only a few miles away.

  3. The house

    Close-up of the orange-brown Hornton ironstone wall and a leaded window

    Built of Hornton ironstone

    The house is built of the local orange-brown ironstone, with beams, panelling, flagstone and tiled floors, and old fireplaces in reception and the sitting rooms.

  4. Today

    Blue front door with a Reception plaque, framed by hydrangeas and climbing plants, with stone steps and an urn

    Twelve individual en-suite bedrooms

    Today it's a family-run guesthouse: twelve individual en-suite bedrooms, breakfast if you want it, a pretty garden to sit in, and the whole house to take over when you bring a crowd.

What our guests say

I spend a lot of my life in hotels mainly like Travelodge and whilst they are sufficient they have no character at all. This makes a lovely refreshing change.
Wayne, contracts manager, staying for work
A huge roaring fire in the reception; the room was exceptional, and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was just awesome!
David · via our booking system
We stayed for 2 nights in a very comfortable and clean room. The building is very old and has a lot of character which we loved. The gardens are very pretty and it is only a short walk into Banbury. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There was a great choice of food for breakfast, which was delicious and was served quickly.
