The Kings Arm was in such a good location in Woodstock within walking distance of all the shops and beautiful Blenheim Palace. It is nice to stay in such a historic pub and hotel, but as with many aged facilities there are some trade offs. The bed was very comfortable, but the room could get incredibly hot. The room is also quite tight for 2 travelers. The small shower needed servicing as the metal soap, shampoo holder was totally hanging off one side and also had poor drainage, once leaking on the floor. Unfortunately on one of the days we were there we also woke up to no running water and there still was no water when we returned near bedtime. I did request some sort of compensation for inconvenience but none was offered. Also there is a bad odor in the upstairs corridor from years of frying fish downstairs or something and allergens were quite pronounced here.Parking is on the street and you must pay for it. We were directed to a “free “ car park but ended up getting a parking ticket there because it was changed to pay parking some months ago and is poorly signed as such. However, the breakfasts were very good, offering both continental and cooked to order options and are eaten in a lovely atrium. The staff was super friendly and accommodating to our needs. Despite the hiccups stated we very much enjoyed our stay.
