We had an extremely good rate for our stay at this pub, it is well positioned, the bedding was spotless, the towels were plentiful and clean and there was plenty of hot water. Unfortunately during our stay we had to ask for the cups in our room and at breakfast to be exchanged because they were dirty, the sink in... More

I had a lovely stay with my family. We were visiting Banbury for a Christening and had a lovely overnight stay in at the Unicorn. Its quaint and quirky and the service was great. The village is pretty and pleasant and it is somewhere we would go back too.

I booked a room for my parents at the Unicorn as we were staying in the Deddington Arms down the road for a wedding and they had kindly volunteered to do some baby sitting. My booking confirmation said the room would be available at 2 but when my mum tried to check in it was not ready so she returned... More

Being a local I know that The Unicorn Inn has had its fair share of temporary managers/staff over the last few years but at last the permanent Landlord/Lady and bar staff are in place at what a difference. My family and I ate there yesterday, we had the fish and chips, red thai curry, nachos and beef etc and it... More

At the last minute I decided to stay in Deddington to catch up with a friend whilst enroute for Yorkshire. What a find, great value, and this is a a real village pub, not a bland gastro chain pub. The room was large and even had two double beds (RM 1) and the staff and locals could not have been... More

Have considered staying here before however not for £80 a night so when a 2-night B&B ‘deal’ came up I booked it straightaway. The deal specified breakfast included however we found out the first morning that this consisted of juice, cereal and toast. On the second morning my husband asked if a cooked breakfast was available and following a sharp... More

We stayed at the Unicorn overnight. The bar area is lovely, the rooms clean and comfortable (but a bit on the small side). The breakfast was basic (toast, jam and cereals). I wouldn't make a habit of staying here but perfect as somewhere to crash (we were going to a party being held in the village). Apparently a new managers... More

I wasn't able to refer to Tripadvisor before this, my first visit for lunch. The barman was polite and welcoming but the food disappointing. My companion was supposed to have a baguette with cheese and onion marmalade; no marmalade, no acceptable alternative so, he settled for plain cheese - which came in a pannini. My soup was essentially tarted-up chopped... More

Still no full time landlord , current male rather rude, empty bar and radio one blaring in the background. I have eaten here when other staff are serving and the atmosphere and service were much better, you begin to wonder what the brewery is thinking if when they put relief managers in who seem to want the other staff to...
