Very nice hotel in a great lication.
Pros:

Very nice hotel in a great location. Rooms are a little on the small size but clean and very good bathrooms. Staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly Nav. Had dinner one night and it was very good.

Cons:

Rooms are a little small. Bed is almost wall to wall.

Lovely proper pub with great rooms in the heart of Woodstock.
Pros:

The Room was lovely, well put together, everything you would want from a proper pub with rooms. Location of the pub was also perfect to walk into town etc.

Dinner was a little bit expensive but no complaints on the quality of food. That is also true for the breakfast.

Cons:

The only thing didn't like was the uncertainty around the room getting cleaned and turned over, we left for the day and thought that the towels would be changed and bed made etc, it wasn't. I wasnt sure if that was due to the timing of us leaving, however i did then notice a small door label on the back of the door stating if you want "room to change" or do not disturb. It was fine but not very clear that we were suppose to put that out.

Kinga Arms had a wonderful, authentic vibe. I'd recommend for anyone wanting a pub stay experience
Pros:

The whole experience was wonderful from check-in to check-out. The staff we interacted with, Nav and Jade, were friendly, attentive, helpful. Our room, the Oliver room, was delightful and we loved being able to come down to the bar for a drink and lunch or dinner.

Cons:

I can't think of anything that could have been better. The room had everything we needed and it was wonderful little sanctuary on a rainy day.

Expensive stay for what it was.
Pros:

breakfast was great and served by an enthusiastic team.

Cons:

efficient check in - but no warmth in the greeting. pub area dark and uninviting. leaves in the entrance which were still there the folllowing day. Hairs on the shower wall, so probably not cleaned from previous occupant. Cobwebs inbetween the secondary double glazing - again been there a while! Expensive stay for what it was.

Excellent value for money and incredibly comfortable stay
Pros:

Having stayed in a superior room we decided to upgrade on this occasion to a suite for a treat and it was even more wonderful. Bed and furnishings really comfortable, great to have a nespresso machine in the room, massive bath (and bubble bath provided!) and fans to keep us cool in the heatwave. Toiletries in the bathroom smell amazing and breakfast was as incredible as we remembered - such a treat and even better given its included! Staff really friendly and discount on food and drinks in the war a welcome addition. Parking was easy enough on a nearby street and not overly expensive.

Cons:

Only tiny disappointment was our suite didn’t really have a view - I think we backed onto the kitchens or staff area. Would have preferred to be on the street side as looks nice but certainly didn’t spoil our stay but worth asking for a suite with a nicer outlook if you remember!
