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.

The room was nicely decorated but there was a bad smell of stagnant water coming from the shower drain. This must have been like it for some time so disappointing that the room would be rented before solving the issue! It was immediately noticeable. The door to our room and other rooms near by were all dented and chipped making a poor first impression which was a shame and the bedding was inadequate for February in the UK so we were cold.

The room was nice, except the fact it was two single beds put together, very uncomfortable couple of nights, staff were nice enough, chicken kebabs where a bit undercooked towards the top of the skewer and the squid was over cooked and chewy, the hotel is dog friendly and has a lovely open fire and great walks near by

Room 4 was fine, but extraction from kitchen made it sound like flying in a jumbo jet, did switch off about 10pm so not the end of the world, and they offer ear plugs if needed.

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

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!!
