Christine Jul 13, 2025 11:37:19 PM
Summary: Lovely quirky old hotel, in a great location for Blenheim Palace. (Side gate to the estate is 100m down the road!)
Fiona Jul 13, 2025 03:37:59 AM
Summary: The Park suite we had was very comfortable with enough space for us as we had large luggages. It was also convenient to walk around the lovely Woodstock town and also so convenient to walk to Blenheim Palace which is a huge plus. Will definitely stay again if we go to Woodstock or Oxford.
ChanBua Jul 10, 2025 08:52:09 PM
Summary: Clean, comfortable and quiet. Very Poor signal for the TV.
Jul 8, 2025 03:04:18 PM
Summary: The Bar always has a problem every time we go there. When he's filling the dishwasher he isn't serving. And the queue builds up. Each order take ages to complete. There aren't enough staff to deal with the queues. They need a buzzer to call in staff to help just for 20 mins or so.
Kully Singh Jul 3, 2025 01:48:47 AM
Summary: Room was clean n spacious, staff were welcoming and friendly, food and drinks were delicious, good car parking space
Jun 30, 2025 02:05:23 AM
Summary: Furniture in Bedroom Lounge in need of updating. Bathroom in need of decorating. Barman was a credit to the organisation.
Alexander Jun 29, 2025 12:22:46 AM
Summary: The room was great, no complaints there. The hotel in it self is beautiful. The man checking us in seem a bit uninterested though and they can’t make coffee for breakfast. It really tasted bad. Might have expected a little more with the price.
Robert Jun 28, 2025 03:12:18 AM
Summary: I had a different room to the one shown online and not in the actual hotel building, the room was at the back of the hotel with cars parked up to the front door and a car engine was running at 4.45am for 15 minutes before leaving,unable to get back to sleep.
Alan Jun 27, 2025 10:07:15 PM
Summary: This splendidly located landmark hotel claims but fails to be 'Luxury', as it is too faded - but was still good value for a midweek break. Breakfast is now without supplements (they have listened !) - but they had no smoked salmon, two mornings in a row, which is an indictment.
Andrew Jun 20, 2025 06:54:37 PM
Summary: Really disappointing stay at the Bear in Woodstock. A friend and I booked a modest double room and paid £282 for B+B. Appreciate that Nocturne festival was on but it was extortionate for what it was. Breakfast was very disappointing to the point I didn’t eat it (in fairness they did refund me). I went to a nice coffee shop a few doors away for a decent cup of coffee. When we complained - the staff were apologetic and seemed unsurprised. I usually wax lyrical about hotels I stay in - it was really rubbish last night.
