I could have stayed for months.

Wow I loved this place. the staff were so nice and good (really invested in their guests especially Laura and Evy. The location was marvellous with the entire cute village at your feet. The free breakfast was such a great bonus/ deal. My room ad some retro blue carpeting (I loved it) and large Edwardian windows overlooking the small and delightful village buildings. The bed was very comfy and the room was quiet (just above the pub surprisingly). This is not a soulless modern box hotel and I loved the little things like the rooms being named after historical figures (mine was the Richard Room). Only 2 tings I recommend to improve would be a safe (dont recall there being one) and mixing in a bed fluffy pillow to the ones that were there. I cancelled a day in London to add a 4th night. I actually contemplated what it would be like to rent the room out for a few months and do some riding (I do screenplays) as it was so peaceful not busy at all and just a convenient gorgeous town layout. Thanks for the stay.

This hotel is in a perfect location for visiting Blenheim Palace but the hotel itself is far from perfect. Everything is grubby. The stair carpet needs a deep clean, the whole time we were there was soil from a nearby plant spilt over the carpet and not hoovered / cleaned up. The Roman blind in the bedroom was broken so couldn't be opened. The en-suite is very dirty. Water marks over everything showing how little it had been wiped / cleaned. The shower was covered in mould. It's such a shame as the hotel has so much going for it - location and decor mainly but also most staff members seemed pretty good. Food was also very disappointing- we had dinner and breakfast and both were of very poor quality meat / ingredients. We were very limited with where we could eat and stay due to an event at Blenheim. I really hope things improve at this hotel as it could be great.

Satisfied Customers

Hotel entrance & reception could do with looking smarter, but sraircase & landings were better. The rooms were well equipped & clean, the beds comfortable, good supplies of tea, coffee, real milk in pods, biscuits ets. The shower room was small but well equipped and clean. All the staff, reception, waitress, cleaner were friendly polite and happy to help. Location in the centre of Woodstock so some traffic passing through at night. Blenheim Palace very close by. My son & I had a positive experience at the Kings Arms. It was very good value for money.
