Loved having the pub below. The site was perfect for our Blenheim Palace excursion. All the staff were top notch; considerate, efficient, and pro-active.

I suppose the further south you get the more the price of a pint goes up, but that's not specific to the Star Inn.

The mushrooms and the fact that the room hadn't been serviced when when we returned at about 4 pm in the afternoon and had to ask for towels and milk for a cup of tea . Also that everything had chips with it. I also had to ask about the special requests that I had mentioned on the comments form such as no skin on sausages and tomatoes for my Husband and I did mention on the comments form that both my Husband and I can't have chocolate but all the desserts were with chocolate but I didn't mention this at the hotel because we didn't fancy any desserts.
The breakfast was nice apart from the mushrooms on the Thursday morning but on Friday morning we had a Bacon and Egg baguette and that was nice.

Before reading the constructive criticism that will follow, please note that the pub is run by lovely people and I think the issues are the result of the challenges of coming out of lockdown because I know the pub has had strong reviews before. I hope the feedback will be useful because these are small things that can easily be changed. -Bathroom had a damp smell. Only drawback of room. -After a full bar the previous night, cleaning was happening during breakfast. This should have been done before people came to breakfast in current circumstances so it was clean to eat there in the morning -Breakfast offering was very limited. I ordered boiled eggs (not on the menu). After at least 20 minutes with only one other table they arrived overcooked and there were no egg cups. They were served rolling around on the plate. - Having no toast was a huge surprise and disappointment. There were baguettes, but this is somehow too heavy for me for breakfast. I think it is the first time ever I have not been able to have toast for breakfast.
Friendly staff, great location right in the centre of Woodstock only a few minutes walk from Blenheim Palace. Room was pleasant and clean, with a really good shower.

There was nothing we didn’t like. If I were to be critical I’d say the evening meal menu was limited. BUT, what we had was well cooked, well presented and good value.
Location was perfect, staff very friendly. The enclosed garden was so ideal. We loved to access routes to our room.

Hard one to judge as only just out of lockdown. Although breakfast was good, dinner menu really needs improvement and even though we can appreciate it’s difficult times, pub down the road had a much better menu with fresh food and good choices. For this reason we didn’t eat at the Star. Bedroom was clean but the radiator and table and chair could have done with a proper wash.
Good location. Good bathroom and room a nice size. Although only a double bed, it was very comfortable and was surprised how quiet it was. Full of character.

The only drawback was the very windy, steep staircase but we had been warned about that before booking and one of the staff carried our cases up on arrival so no problems about having to carry heavy luggage.
Very friendly small inn, superbly situated in the centre of Woodstock. Helpful staff who were always cheerful. A good choice of breakfasts and, having eaten in the bar on the first evening, found the food served there good value for money. There was also an excellent choice of real ale beers.
