Guest reviews

What guests think

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Macdonald Bear Hotel draws travellers with its historic character and central Woodstock location near Blenheim Palace, while reviews point to uneven value due to areas that feel dated and a stay that depends on room allocation and service.

Generally a decent place to stay. Check in was a bit shambolic, my pet hate is being charged £5 for parking when you are paying £200 for bed and breakfast, this should be included in the room price. Didn’t eat our evening meal in the hotel but recommend the small brazzeri opposite. Breakfast was ok. The room was clean and tidy but we had to go down to reception to ask for some milk to use the tea making facilities, which we were given in a tea pot?? Strange when there is a fridge in the room.

Room 23 was very noisy with the Aircon/ refrigerator machine outside. It's a great hotel, I've stayed more than a few times but avoid this room if you're a light sleeper

Stayed 1 night

We recently stayed at this hotel and needed a double room and a twin room. Both rooms were lovely and warm on a cold say which was very welcome. We were very happy with the stay and decided to have breakfast. It is served until 11am but when we arrived at 10am, there were very little bread/baked options and all the fruit had gone and had not been replenished. Parking is available but is at the rear of the hotel which we didn't realise until we'd parked on the road but no problem just moved our car around the back.
