Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean, neatly decorated rooms with most amenities one would expect, though slightly overpriced at £215 per night. The service was friendly and helpful, with occasional issues. The location is great for accessing Blenheim Palace and local attractions but may have parking challenges at busy times. The dining experience was good with a decent selection. However, prices were a bit high. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in value for money.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious, nicely decorated, quiet, and clean, with complimentary White Company toiletries. The food served during dinner was delicious and reasonably priced, perfect for a pre-dinner drinks party with friends. However, our room location at the top of the first landing in the annexe was given away before we arrived, which was a bit inconvenient.
The hotel is positioned conveniently in Woodstock, great for visiting Blenheim Palace, with comfortable rooms and helpful service. The dining experience, while good, could be improved slightly. The location offers free parking but lacks private parking spaces.
