The breakfast at the Marlborough Arms is sensational.
The Duke of Marlborough is a quaint building just outside Woodstock and Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. It offers free parking and hearty, locally-sourced food.

A beautiful country town with quaint shops and a good selection of restaurants. We visited the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum for family reasons and found it very interesting with pleasant and friendly staff. The cafe within the grounds of the Museum is excellent.
We ate at the Punchbowl Inn both evenings and enjoyed our meals there very much. The staff were very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend - not cheap but worth the money.
We also visited Blenheim, not the Palace but the park and gardens, just glorious!

A pleasant market town with pretty buildings, a range of shops including antiques. art and interior designs, as well as a butchers, a co-op and several pubs, restaurants and cafes. There were also 2 small museums.
Blenheim Palace was only a 10 minute walk from Woodstock. We spent 2 days visiting the Palace and its grounds, and felt we could have spent longer.
There was a frequent bus service into Oxford. Buses ran every half hour from about 5.30am to 11.30pm, cost £2, and the journey took about 40 minutes. We spent 2 days visiting Oxford and felt we could have spent longer.
The only downside about Woodstock was car parking, which was restricted to pay and display between 8.00am and 6.00pm every day.
There was a free car park near the fire station which allowed upto 12 hours stay in any 24 hour period.
For longer stays, 24 hour car parking permits could be purchased from the Council for £10 per day.

Beautiful small town.
Beautiful small town. Plentiful accommodation and restaurants, most of which were dog friendly. Ideal for visiting beautiful Blenheim Palace and nearby Oxford. We ate at Punchbowl pub , good friendly service, very dog friendly, food and drink good. Would not stay at Macdonald Bear next time but probably at one of the many pubs that had rooms.

Woodstock is a delightful historic village full of character and charm.
Everything is in walking distance and lots of parking in the main square., especially at the end near the church
Lots of independent shops, so perfect for browsing
A large choice of excellent places for breakfast, coffee, lunch or dinner
We love Blenheim Buttery and also The King's Arms
The walk around the lake at Blenheim Palace, Winston Churchill's childhood home is absolutely stunning, whatever the weather

Just a quiet ‘market’ town, mostly individual shops where all the staff working in them were genuinely interested in serving you and making conversation as to why you were visiting and where you’d come from.

Our trip was fundamentally to view the lights and the house at Blenheim Palace; the theme was Sleeping Beauty.
We arrived at about 3pm. Just right as dusk was setting in. We toured the house which was utterly incredible - How a person or company could put together such a phenomental piece of design, unchanging in its beauty, throughout the rooms that had been decorated to continue the theme - I do not know. To continue outside and see the light display was nothing short of sensational - it lit up the whole of the 1.5 miles of the walking tour and the evening sky. An unforgettable experience. The next day we shopped through the village enjoying its ancient buildings and some of the shops filled with objects d`art , clothes, furniture and lighting. An experience that cannot be better but can be changed...........in summer.
From the moment we arrived the staff were fantastic. The hotel has a magical elegant historical charm there is nothing negative to say on any part . Perfect location for Blenheim palace . Carpark excellent as we arrived early and parked up then walked to the palace . The breakfast was one of the best , for choice freshness and nutrition, something for everyone. Freshly cooked by lovely friendly happy staff ( rare these days ) . I would now never stay anywhere but the Marlborough arms when visiting this area .
Perfectly situated for Woodstock and although we didn’t use it there was a regular bus service into Oxford. Woodstock is convenient for visiting local Cotswold towns and villages. We self catered and there is a small Coop and several small local shops which cater for specific needs. However if you need a doctor don’t bother the local surgery they aren’t interested and refer you to somewhere else, quite a way away.
Yvonne and her staff were wonderful...friendly, helpful and very accommodating. The BB is right off of the square in Woodstock with lots to do...shops, pubs, etc. Blenheim Palace is a short walk away with lovely views. Parking was easy; however, this may be an issue during high tourist season. We would definitely stay again and plan to!
I have stayed there for my short gateway from London and to visit Blenheim Palace. Woodstock is a magical place . The hotel was very good, the staff welcoming supportive and warm. Room just as I like it - magnificent. Enjoyed 100% my stay my room and my visit. Would recommend and will come back for sure . Thank you once again
Location, location, location! Lovely to have been able to stay so centrally. House was comfortable and just right for a short stay in Woodstock with Blenheim park virtually on the doorstep (if you know where the town gate is!) and plenty of shops to poke around and superb restaurants and pubs.
Very clean apartment and very well located. The hosts Olivia and George were so lovely, we had a little issue and needed to contact them and they came out immediately.
Very nicely presented and a very good base for exploring Woodstock, only minutes from Diddly Squat and Oxford central.
Actually outside of Woodstock a bit, but good parking and if you have a car it is very good for visiting Oxford, Woodstock/Blenheim Palace and/or spending a day in the Costwolds. Very good breakfast made to order. Small but clean room. Will return this June!
The bedroom was excellent. albeit with a rolling floor, due to the age of the property.
Check-out was 10.00a.m., but our hotel parking permit ran out at 12.00 noon, giving us time to explore Woodstock before moving on.
Location was perfect, bang in the center of Woodstock and enough free parking in front of the hotel. Dinner was very nice. We were only disappointed that the cider was finished and wasn't refilled during our 2 day-stay.
The location was perfect - we love the village of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace which is in walking distance. The hotel was warm, cosy, clean with good facilities, quality bathroom products and the food was great value
Well decorated and stylish room with sitting area. The most comfortable bed and pillows! Great walking in shower too. In heart of lovely Woodstock right next door to Blenheim palace! Breakfast was delicious too
Our first visit to Woodstock, what a beautiful place, this hotel felt very charming, historic, and bang in the centre of places we wanted to visit. Good sized bedroom looking onto a quiet courtyard.
Nice location hotel is a little run down had problem with heating in room so had too upgraded to a suite stain on carpet and the curtain would not close
