Good location, historic venue, but the Marlborough Arms rooms are tired and need a revamp
Pros:

Marlborough Arms in the village of Woodstock is one venue to stay for Blenheim Palace. Its a historic building right on the main high street. The original room booked was large, bright with a good bathroom but was at the front of the the hotel and the main road noise to us was an issue. There is also a bus stop also outside the hotel. We were offered and chose to downgrade our room to accept a smaller, but still comfortable room in the rear of the hotel. If you want a quiet night, stay at the back of the Marlborough Arms. The rooms were clean if a little tired looking, very 1980's

Cons:

The rooms are tired and in need of a revamp. The rooms look like ex house clearance has been used to furnish the space.
