The Experience

Light floods in through tall windows, sofas are comfortable, colours bright, a chandelier twinkles and cherubs watch over you – bland this is not. There’s plenty of space for six to be seated and dine comfortably, and there’s a TV down here plus books and a gas stove to keep you cosy. Bedrooms are spacious and characterful and two have window views over the sitting room.

The roomy kitchen means everyone can join in, or sit at the table to chatter and chop – you’ll find basics in the cupboards and a little welcome basket with a bottle of wine to greet you. A small paved garden area has high brick walls so you’ll feel private – on balmy evenings you can have a barbecue out here.

Explore the ancient church next door with its roots in the 13th century and a tower of eight bells. From here you can take a lovely circular walk through the grounds where Deddington Castle once stood.

Location

The neighbourhood

Deddington is a pretty village and has several pubs, a Co-op, Eagles, a good deli with butcher and bakery and Foodies coffee shop. The Falkland Arms for excellent food is a 13-minute drive. Quince and Clover at Great Tew is 13 minutes; The Yurt at Nicholsons is a fine dining restaurant in the middle of a plant nursery. You can catch the bus to Banbury or Oxford from the village.

Local points of interest from Janine Drzewicki & Paul Bentall

  • Wesley Place was built in 1800 as a Methodist Chapel and a Sunday School. Converted in the 1970s it has been a much loved home since then. Further renovations done last year have created what we hope you will think a lovely place to visit more than once.
  • Deddington Castle was built by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, William the Conqueror’s half brother. Originally a motte and Bailey construction it developed into a turreted stone castle , falling into disrepair during the 1300s. Locals used it as a quarry.
  • The Fish and Chips at the Red Lion Pub deservedly have the reputation of being the best in the country. They are really excellent.
  • The piano in our living room has been in my family for over a hundred years. It was given to my grandfather by my great grandmother as a wedding present.
  • Soho Farmhouse is only a short drive away. A lovely drive through country lanes towards Great Tew with Falkland Arms and the excellent Quince and Cumin cafe. Don’t miss Station Mill and great antique shop in Chipping Norton. Little Tew is just near by too.
  • The newly converted Aynhoe Park is well worth a visit. It is a beautiful stately home with a range of furnishings which are all for sale , a very good coffee shop , and apparently a very good restaurant, overlooking a deer park with white deer.
