Summary: .

Johan May 16, 2026 02:29:09 PM

Summary: Parking a big plus point.

Rick May 5, 2026 04:07:26 AM

Summary: Shame, cool old building but pretty poor staff, pretty poor upkeep-window fell off the hinges, terrible breakfast. Probably wouldn't return sadly as we stay in Woodstock often.

Martin Apr 21, 2026 02:30:39 AM

Summary: Generally a decent place to stay. Check in was a bit shambolic, my pet hate is being charged £5 for parking when you are paying £200 for bed and breakfast, this should be included in the room price. Didn’t eat our evening meal in the hotel but recommend the small brazzeri opposite. Breakfast was ok. The room was clean and tidy but we had to go down to reception to ask for some milk to use the tea making facilities, which we were given in a tea pot?? Strange when there is a fridge in the room.

Ian Apr 20, 2026 07:35:22 PM

Summary: Room 23 was very noisy with the Aircon/ refrigerator machine outside. It's a great hotel, I've stayed more than a few times but avoid this room if you're a light sleeper

Elaine Mar 29, 2026 11:59:26 PM

Summary: We recently stayed at this hotel and needed a double room and a twin room. Both rooms were lovely and warm on a cold say which was very welcome. We were very happy with the stay and decided to have breakfast. It is served until 11am but when we arrived at 10am, there were very little bread/baked options and all the fruit had gone and had not been replenished. Parking is available but is at the rear of the hotel which we didn't realise until we'd parked on the road but no problem just moved our car around the back.

Gordon Mar 28, 2026 03:29:29 PM

Summary: Great location for Blenheim and comfortable bed / room

ADAM Feb 16, 2026 05:20:50 AM

Summary: Service was slow at breakfast

Nicholas Feb 15, 2026 09:30:38 PM

Summary: Room was great - quirky features primarily due to age of building. Parking fine. Check in good - Melissa very helpful. Michael helpful with baggage to room. Jose friendly in bar. Breakfast fine, service could have been smoother as could communication. Overall enjoyable stay.
