What guests think

At Marlborough Arms, reviewers highlight a friendly team, characterful historic charm, and an excellent cooked breakfast, alongside a central Woodstock location that’s ideal for Blenheim Palace and helped by handy on-site parking and easy bus links to Oxford.

Rooms are typically comfortable and sometimes spacious, with period features and quieter options at the back. A few negatives recur: some rooms are small or feel cold, street facing rooms can be noisy for light sleepers, and upper floors are reached via narrow, steep stairs that may challenge less mobile guests. Overall, expect a welcoming, character stay in a very convenient spot.

The staff at the Malborough were amazing, so polite and friendly, they couldn't do enough. Wonderful cooked breakfast and so close to all amenities. It was great to have a car park as well. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Amazing hotel, will definitely stay again. Love the fireplace and the staff were really friendly. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed our breakfast, fresh and delicious 😋. Parking was on the back of the property and it was easy to find. Many dining options which discounts for staying at the hotel.

This historic coaching inn is well maintained. A charming lounge with fireplace offering a very relaxing atmosphere. The room is small but it’s okay for one night stay. Weather was hot there is just a small electric fan in the room. Breakfast is good.

Very friendly greeting and although we were early allowed us to check in. Great to have on site parking. Quality and choice of breakfast was very good and amazing home made marmalade and jams. Marked down for eco because we hung up the towels but they were changed anyway. Nice to have bottles of filtered water in room

We chose the Marlborough Arms in Woodstock for its proximity to the palace. It’s a lovely old building with lots of ups and downs between floors. The room was clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and the breakfast sets you up for the day. Perfect stay and we really enjoyed ourselves

We were also easily able to take the bus to Oxford for a half day using the bus stop right out front. We also enjoyed having a tasty hot breakfast every morning included with our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Where do we start? Fabulous. We were very impressed with the staff. Alina was professional, polite and could not do enough to ensure our stay was what we had wanted and expected. When we arrived (during one of the hottest days this year) the fan in our room did not seem to work. We went down to report the issue at 5pm then never thought anymore as we went for dinner. Upon our return a beautiful, brand new, large fan was waiting. They had rushed out and managed to find one, which was amazing. The breakfast was more than enough, even if you had a very big appetite it would have been more than sufficient. We had fresh fruit then full English breakfast and as much tea, coffee, toast you could want. Andrea (hope we got your name right!) and all her breakfast team were friendly, attentive, courteous and ensured our particular breakfast orders were prepared as we wanted. We stayed two nights and each morning the staff asked about our previous day and if there was anything more they could do. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Although no restaurant facilities for the evening this was not an issue. In Woodstock there must be 10 restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Plus discounts were offered at various restaurants when we mentioned our stay at the hotel. WE WILL BE BACK. Next time with our friends.
