The room

Stayed in April 2024

The Marlborough Arms was in the perfect central location. It was a beautiful hotel with an amazing feel and one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in. The rooms were so spacious and extremely comfortable and clean. The staff were so polite and so helpful. Lastly the breakfast was delicious. I’ve never left a review on a hotel before but this hotel was definitely worthy of this review and I would definitely recommend and would book this hotel again. Many thanks Steve

Whilst I loved the huge bathroom and its layout, I did feel that it was too big and could benefit from a places to sit other than the loo seat or step.

The room was fabulous. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Such a treat.

Nothing, no complaints at all

Staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The building had character and history. Walking distance to Blenheim Palace and a £2 bus ride to Oxford from the hotel. We would and probably will stay there again.

Couldn’t always get on site parking & local free car park only allowed up to 12hr stay.

All staff very helpful & friendly. Breakfast (full English) one of the best we’ve had, good portions, very tasty & not fatty. Bed very comfy

It’s a shame it didn’t have a restaurant. Although lots of good eateries in town

Very cosy and quirky. Central to town. Great staff. And delicious breakfast.

The night we stayed it poured with rain and water was dripping through the ceiling close to the bed. Made it very difficult to sleep.

Great vibe, friendly staff, nice breakfast.

Delicious breakfast. The most comfortable bed ever! Friendly, helpful staff.

It’s not cheap and our standard room was not exciting (could add a few touches to decor). Shower needs a mat for safety. We received some spam trying to get our bank and ID details in message via booking.com but probably not the MA’s fault.

Proper old coaching inn. We loved lounging around in the downstairs room with comfy chairs, warm fire and good coffee. Also the tipsy floor in our room was quite fun. We were by the road but the sound insulation worked well (not if you open the window!). The breakfast is excellent and the staff lovely. Woodstock is very attractive (good pubs and restaurants- Marlborough Arms doesn’t do food or draft beer) and Blenheim a stone’s throw. Easy to get the bus into centre of Oxford.

Dinner option without going out would have been nice. But would also have changed character of place. Paid more than I would normally. But Woodstock is (justifiably) a very popular place.

Initially disappointed that Marlborough Arms did not have own restuarant for dinner. But it is very well situated in compact town for a range of eating options. And it has a well stocked, comfortable and quiet bar to use before or after dinner. Lovely wood burner to cosy up in front of.

Very welcoming, room was great, left a bottle of prosecco in the room for my partners birthday. Nice cosy fire with great ambience.

The only issue we had was the bus stop right outside our window but it wasn’t really a problem.

Location, decor, parking, individuality, staff, service, breakfast, log fire

Parking was limited and there is a newly planted tree at the end of the car park taking up a space.

The room was large warm and comfortable. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The shower was powerful and easy to use. breakfast was very tasty and cooked to order. The continental had plenty of choice including pastries, fresh fruit and cheese and hams.
