A lovely weekend in a perfect little village, the great weather was an added bonus!
The bed was very comfortable, there was lots of hot water, good size towels and a warm bathroom.

Last time we stayed we were in the old part of the pub- this time we were in an extension at the back which wasn’t so nice.
Upon arrival we felt like we were intruding- lots of regulars at the bar who weren’t very welcoming. The young man with the Arsenal tattoo on his leg was pleasant enough but could have been friendlier.
We ate in the restaurant the first night- the four of us agreed that the food was beautifully presented but took a long time to arrive and wasn’t hot which was a shame.
The next morning breakfast again took a long time to come but was hot and delicious and we all enjoyed it and the variation on the menu was great!
Disappointed with our room this time- it needs a little TLC; grouting in the bathroom, chipped and scuffed paintwork and sadly no biscuits on the hospitality tray and the kettle took ages to boil.
All that being said we enjoyed our stay and the ladies serving breakfast were very friendly and made us feel welcome.

From arriving there were problems the room had one small wardrobe in the corner with one small door at the top and one large door at the bottom unfortunately the large door was held on by just one hinge so we had to leave it open at all times otherwise it would have fallen off as well as this the toilet seat was hanging on by a wing and a prayer on the second morning at breakfast the so called chef arrived at 8.00 instead of 7.00 which meant that some guests had to miss breakfast the third morning we were waiting an age for breakfast for some reason every one seemed to be very unhappy all in all a disaster

The lady that booked us in claimed she could"nt do anything about our reluctance to stay in a room overlooking the main road. However, the road noise wasnt actually that bad. The staff at breakfast by contrast were very cheerful and extremely helpful. The breakfast was great and in fairness the room was really comfy. Overal it was actually very good.

We ate in the nearby Indian Restaurant. Astonishingly good food in a relaxed environment.
We were very well looked after by all of the friendly, welcoming team. Very comfortable and spacious room.

Positives: Stayed for 3 nights and ate in the restaurant each evening and enjoyed excellent food each time. as well as breakfast each morning. Staff were very friendly and were very willing to help with any questions.
Negatives: Condition of bedroom was very poor with a broken roman blind in the bathroom and very old net curtains which should have been replaced long ago as they were very dirty and had holes in them. A side table showed severe wear and tear with a lot of scuffs and chips. A small single wardrobe was in the bedroom with an ironing board inside which took up half the space. This room did not look like the ones on the hotel's website. A shortage of staff on one evening led to poor service but this did not affect our enjoyment of the food.
Other Comments
Overall, we enjoyed our stay but felt let down by the bedroom condition. A relatively small amount of money could be spent on updating the room with new curtains, table and perhaps a larger wardrobe. The discounted price we paid through Travelzoo probably reflected the true value of the stay. The full price if booked directly with the Deddington Arms would not be regarded as value for money. The pictures of a typical standard room shown on the website did not represent the room we were given.

I would start with my wife and i had a lovely weekend at this hotel.
The Deddington Arms might be more of a traditional pub-with-rooms than a polished hotel, but what it lacks in modern 'wow factor,' it more than makes up for in incredible food.
Based on our room it is more 3* than the listed 4*.
The rooms are simple and functional; our particular room featured a very powerful shower over the bath. While the décor isn't the 'smartest' we’ve seen, it was perfectly adequate for a base to explore the beautiful village of Deddington and the nearby Cotswolds., Those with restricted mobility might want to check for walk-in shower options.
The village of Deddington is beautiful but there isn't much to do in Deddington itself.
Bizarrely the village isn't that big but the Deddington arms is in competition with two other pubs all 50 yards from each other. We had a drink in the other two and they were lovely pubs and both seemed busier than the DA.
The DA has a lovely refurbished restaurant but the Bar has more of a sports bar feel to it with 2 large TV's, its not the country bar you might expect from a Cotswolds pub and on the nights we stayed it had sports fans rather than couples.
The part of our stay that I think the DA excelled in was food. The restaurant is the smartest room in the building and the food was exceptional, we ate here both nights and we've stayed in much smarter establishments where the food is nowhere as good.,it has all the pub favourites on the menu to choose from, my wife is a vegetarian and she had no issue with choice either.
This continued at breakfast the next morning, to give this some context, we stay at quite a few hotels and this really was one of the best breakfasts we have eaten. The Chef is obviously very talented.
In summary, it wont be the smartest place you stay at but the location is excellent and the food exemplary.

We heve been visiting the Deddington Arms for over 25 years off and on. It is convenient for friends we want to see locally and Deddington
village is very friendly, has lovely shops and a nice atmosphere.
The hotel has has many changes over the years
but the welcome is always warm and the food
and drink very palatable.
If I have one suggestion now instead of the tea on the breakfast buffet being in a table top
dispenser tea bags and hot water would be better to avoid it cooling off since it was prepared.
