Spacious and cosy accommodation in the heart of town and close to the Blenheim Palace
Pros:

Very nice room and a historical look, spacious with beautiful coffee and tea facilities as well as complimentary water. We enjoyed sitting at the fireplace downstairs at the reception. Staff was helpful and friendly. Great location directly in the centre of town and walking distance from the palace.

Wonderful
Pros:

Fantastic location for Bleinham Palace. Free on site parking. Room very clean. Beds very comfortable. Staff polite and friendly. Breakfast absolutely delicious, pastries so fresh.
Loved the welcoming fireplace. Would definitely stay again. If I had to find fault the only thing we all said was that the heat woke us in the night but I’m sure we could have opened a window or possibly turned radiator down.

Cons:

Loved it all.

A peaceful and beautiful stay in lovely Woodstock - the hotel was full of character and charm, as was our room (with goo
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at the Marlborough Arms and in Woodstock and would love to stay again! It was well kept, full of character, clean, quiet and comfy. The staff were so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond. The breakfast was delicious and we were able to order drinks from the bar after we got back from dinner in the town. A really lovely and peaceful stay! We had everything we needed in our room including a nice coffee machine and kettle. The bathroom was well equipped with nice toiletries and a good shower, too.

Cons:

Nothing!
