High score for Woodstock

Dating back to 1637, this coaching inn is located on the ancient Worcester to London road (B4027), on the edge of picturesque Wootton village, just 2 miles from Woodstock.

Ideally located for touring the Cotswolds, the inn is also well positioned for visits to Oxford and Blenheim Palace. Retaining much of the character of the original building, the inn features a beamed ceiling and 2 large stone fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove for a cozy ambiance.

8 tastefully decorated rooms offer en suite amenities and plenty of space.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.

Killingworth Castle has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Aug 2, 2005
