Excellent stay at an historic coaching inn
Fantastic stay at this prestigious coaching house hotel. Everything about the stay was fantastic. Room exceptional, friendly staff and good food. As it's an old property parking can be an issue with limited space, however, as in middle of Woodstock, plenty of parking around at a reasonable price

Stayed for one night to visit Blenheim Palace. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. It’s s perfect location with parking. It is an old building, it does creak, but didn’t hear any other guests even though it was busy. Could do with a spruce up, but would stay again!

What I didn't like was being charged £24 for two poached eggs on toast as when I ordered for three guests I asked if this would be the price of the full English (£24) and was told NO A very expensive breakfast Indeed
