We stayed with friends for two nights. We ate dinner at The Hotel the first night. This review has to take into account how good the price was that we paid. The room was old like, the core building, but it was not noisy as some have written. The loo shuddered as it refilled. But the bed was comfortable and it was warm. There are lots of positives to balance the old room. Breakfast was very good in terms of choices and very good value. The parking is plentiful and secure. The staff were hardworking and helpful. Deddington is itself nice and it’s a good place to explore from. Overall a 4* very good score because it was half the price of the last hotel we used in remote West Wales to meet with the same friends. I do not know what those scoring it lower paid but the price we paid was very competitive for what we received.

On Sunday, 23rd June I had organised a luncheon to celebrate my husband's and sister's 80th birthday celebrations on the same day. There was 13 of us and they all thoroughly enjoyed their choice of menu. They loved the venue, so smart, light and airy in the conservatory dining room. The staff were exceptional, very polite, very, very helpful and especially the Waitress and Barman . For this occasion I had also booked the Ten Pin Bowling Alley for 2 hours in the afternoon and to my delight all the oldies were up to having a go and there was such fun and laughter and competition against the two sides. It was such a wonderful day and it will be treasured for ever. I must also mention Emma on the front desk who has been a real star helping me organise for this special event. I thoroughly recommend The Heyford Hotel.

I fell in love with this house, it was outstanding both inside and outside. The original features and history of this house, just made you want to explore more. If only walls could talk. The room we stayed in was lovely and I loved the window shutters. The bed was a good size for me, but for hubby it was too short. The owner said he was getting a new bed in the future, so for taller people that will help.. The garden went on and on and was beautiful. A delicious breakfast was served each morning, with tasteful fresh ingredients. I would recommend staying here, better than any chain hotel.

DANGER TO HEALTH Do not expect to sleep in this property until the person in the room above decides to go to bed, the floor creaking is unbelievable. We were lucky to get 4 hours sleep. At 12.30am I had to go and knock their door and explain we were unable to sleep due to their constant running around they did not stop immediately and started again very early. A cursory 'sorry' regarding the upstairs tenant did not really cut it from the owner next morning. While I appreciate it was beyond their control the room rented to us was for sleeping in and was obviously not fit for purpose. While it is no longer a legal requirement to PAT test electrical items we noted the kettle and TV had not been done 1) at all and 2) since 2021, however, IT IS a legal requirement to clean and descale a shower head at least quarterly. We felt unable to use the shower due to the state of its head as it can lead to Legionnaires' disease. A bath? not a good option since on lifting the rubber bathmat various and multiple patches of mould were visible. The light switches in the bedroom and paintwork on the inside of the bathroom door were filthy. The breakfast (which we did not have) sounded very mean for the price, the broadband is apparently VERY iffy due to the width of the stone walls and the write up in the room reads like Faulty Towers. The location is excellent but the accommodation is over priced for its quality. Having run rental accommodation ourselves for many years we speak from experience.

Super beautiful back garden, unexpectedly good looking, breakfast is a classic English full meal, fried egg tarts, ham, sausage, bread crumbs, coffee, parking is free and convenient, there is a gas station and convenience store opposite, we are here Go to the Bicester Village, drive for 20 minutes, recommend it again!
