The August trip
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful we couldn't fault them , we asked questions and they were very helpful to us , we wanted more Coffee for the room and within five minutes it was with us , so overall the stay was very good.

Cons:

The only problem is that there is no carpark, so we had to park on the street outside we were very lucky that we got very close,that was the only problem.

Nice rooms, great breakfast choice, they need to use a hoover on the reception area and stairways
Pros:

Things in general were fine. The choice of breakfasts very good, but the stair carpets were filthy and required hoovering- It was quite unnerving going up to our room as the filth on the carpets made me doubt the standard of the room.

Cons:

Dirty carpets and paint on walls that needed touching up where it had been bashed in both the bedrooms and breakfast room.

Great spot but a little noisy.
Pros:

Good location in the centre of Woodstock, walkable distance from Blenheim Palace. Comfortable bed, the bathroom was a little small but the room itself was lovely. The breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

It’s on a busy road so the room was noisy. The cleanliness of the room was not up to standard.

Great location and really good food
Pros:

Good food. Both evening meal and breakfast. Particularly lovely breakfast room. Great location in the centre of the town and easily walkable to Blenheim Palace. We knew that there was no parking on site, which is the same for most accommodation in the town but clear explanation from the hotel about where to park.

Cons:

All good

Pros:

Staff very friendly and tried their best to make us welcome.

Cons:

Hotel generally tired and in need of work doing to make it acceptable.
Sockets not screwed in properly, leaking shower to highlight a couple of issues.
It was also pretty dirty and unkempt .
Our room had no air-conditioning on some of the hottest days of the year. It was unbearable.
It may well have been an oversight on our part booking the room but still, it was dangerously hot, with a small fan our only respite.
We didn't sleep.
