Hotels near Cottisford Pond, Cherwell

Stayed here for 1 night (fri-sat) on the 23rd Feb. Reception staff were helpful with car park check in, and the booking in process was very easy, knowledgeable and quick. Key information was given regarding health and safety (fire exits etc) The reception area was clean and tidy as was the the rest of the communal areas on the way to the room. Upon arrive to the room, the room was warm, welcoming and inviting. Plenty of clean towels, the bedding was clean and fresh and the bathroom had been cleaned to a very high standard. I had requested something prior to arrival to be put in the room which the hotel staff had no problem in doing. A massive shout out to 2 very helpful members of staff in the housekeeping department that I believe helped with the request. I believe their names were ”steph” and ”charlene”. It's very clear the hotel is well looked after by staff and cleaned to a very high standard by the housekeeping staff. The reception is open 24 hours a day so you can go and come as you please. Check out was by 12 which is plenty of time to wake, shower etc before leaving. And whilst thinking about the shower......that is a very good shower system in the rooms. Hot, powerful and amazing water pressure!!! Always a win when visiting hotels. A very pleasant stay and would definitely stay here again in the future. Staff brilliant, rooms brilliant, location brilliant and very quiet considering that the M40 is so close and the services are next door. 10 stars all around!!!!

we ( family of three) stayed at the Lion end of April for the bank holiday weekend , and we enjoyed every minute of it. the room was clean and cosy , staff were great , and the food was really good. we specially enjoyed dinner. I must confess , I had my doubts booking the place , as I have never stayed in pubs who have accommodation. but reading the reviews , I came to conclusion that this place is really more towards higher spec and boutique rooms. I am so glad we stayed there and definitely recommend it if you are planning to stay in the area. we will definitely book this place again.

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.

The room is pretty good, the bathroom is big, and the facilities are complete, but it is a bit noisy on the side of the road, and there is nothing nearby at night, so there is no big problem if you just stay overnight. The breakfast is rich, but the room we paid only has one breakfast, and the other is a bit expensive for 15 pounds. The service is okay, a bit away from the center of Oxford. A lot of people come here for dinner at night.

The room was established in 1496, but it is very close to Blenheim Palace, a small hotel suitable for family travel, breakfast is very good.

Hotel staff polite and courteous. Rooms clean and spacious, lovely fresh smell as we went into room. Location perfect, nice walk to Oxford City Centre or plenty of opportunity to take a bus from nearby stop. Breakfast delicious with plenty of variety to cater for everyone. Meals in restaurant absolutely delicious. I would thoroughly recommend a stay in this hotel. This was our second stay

The hotel is located in a convenient location where we can easily commute around the city centre and the Bicester village. Sadia was really nice and helpful. She greeted us with a warm welcome. Rooms were quite small but they are clean and tidy. Overall, it was a great time staying at the hotel.
