10/10 Excellent

The family suite was a great option for us and is great for families. Bathroom (with a shower) in the middle with two bedrooms either side. One as a twin and one as a double. Everything was clean. Comms were clear re parking (getting the pass from reception) and we parked up easily. Check-in was simple and lady was very friendly. Staff in the morning were very welcoming at breakfast were very attentive and the breakfast was great. Walking distance to Blenheim palace so really convenient. Woodstock also lots of options to eat also had a lovely meal at the punch bowl.

Fab stay, great food, wonderful staff.
Michael, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Way too noisy unfortunately. I was unlucky to get a room at the front which is on the main road and so traffic noise was awful. Thank goodness for noise cancellation iPods. Apart from that the room was spacious and clean with excellent amenities
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had an amazing stay: the family who runs the business is very friendly, hardworking, always willing to please the customers. The pub is cosy, the food served very nice and heart warming. Our family room was comfortable and nicely decorated. We definitely recommend!!

Third stay but first time in a downstairs room, a little bit more road noise, will try to book an upstairs room next time. Overall, very happy with the place, has always been very clean and friendly.

Little Gem

A little Gem of an Inn, and the winner is it is very dog friendly. The room was big for 2 adults and 2 older children and a dog. Lovely decor and a great location. Service was great, we also eat an evening meal at the pub which was great after a day of exploring.
