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!

Ubicación perfecta y estancia muy agradable
Pros:

Hotel muy agradable, con un personal muy eficiente, atento y educado. La habitación era cómoda, espaciosa y exactamente como aparece en las fotos. La ubicación es perfecta, a solo dos minutos andando del Palacio de Blenheim, y Woodstock es un pueblo precioso y con muchísimo encanto. Además, el hotel cuenta con un restaurante-pub muy acogedor y agradable. Sin duda, una muy buena opción para alojarse en la zona.

Cons:

Nada

EXCELLANT PLACE TO STAY IN THE PERFECT LOCATION
Pros:

THE ROOM WAS LARGE AND WELL FURNISHED AND HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED,THE KINGS ARMS IS IN THE PERFECT POSITION FOR VISIT TO BLENHEIM PALACE AS ITS EASILY WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND THERES LOTS OF PUBS AND RESTUARANTS NEARBY BREAKFAST WAS PERFECT AND COOKED TO ORDER. THE STAFF WERE GREAT

Cons:

ONLY ONE THING WE STAYED IN THE ROOM CALLED JAMES,THE BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE BUT THE WOODEN LEGS PROTRUDED PAST THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS AND BOTH MY WIFE AND MYSELF PAINFULLY KNOCKED OUR FEET AND SHINS ON THEM SEVERAL TIMES WHEN WALKING AROUND THE EDGE OF THE BED.

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.
