Unexpected room upgrade
Nice breakfast
Breakfast room dated
Hotel in general ready for a refurbishment
Palazzo storico
Non sufficientemente valorizzato e ristrutturato.
Poca qualità di asciugamani e prodotti doccia . Non disponibilità di pantofole
Comfortable room apart from the noisy occupants above. Helpful staff
Noise in room from occupants above - TV in the middle of the night and continual tramping about on floor boards
It was in a good location for Blenheim Palace a 5 mins walk and in the centre of Woodstock. Great for visiting the Cotswolds Comfortable and good size bedroom. Excellent Restaurant and good food. Book as it was popular even on a Monday.
Unfortunately the Street Market was in Town and the Hotel wasn’t easily accessible. So if going in October check dates of the Fair before booking.
The room was spacious, comfortable and had all we needed. There was plenty of car parking space and the location was great.
Food was a bit slow in arriving. The staff seemed a little unsure about things at time. The breakfast was Ok but not exceptional.
Room
Dinner was poor
Not much
There was a street fair that we were not told about. It was noisy and parking was difficult. The staff did not speak or understand English very well. We had dinner with a friend but when we asked for the dessert menu the kitchen had closed.
There was a general air of neglect about the place.
Liked having a sitting room
Staff very helpful
People were lovely in the library and the museum
Near to Blenheim
We had nice weather
Very nice restaurant but would have liked more choice on the menu
Someone to help us upstairs with our cases
Able to have proper milk although the little fridge was handy
Unfortunate that we had the funfair over the 2 days we stayed so missed out on the beauty of Woodstock

Staff. Poor quality food. Obviously running it very cheap labour and quality food
Beautiful Hotel, and staff could not have been more helpful, offering to make us a sandwich because we needed to leave before breakfast. Outstanding service.
First world problem, but no draught ale in the bar, with so many great local breweries this was disappointing. We went to the pub instead of staying in the lovely hotel bar.
Gorgeous setting and lovely size room. Friendly reception staff
The breakfast was a bit plain and limited choice
