We have been here a few times now but this weekend being our first actual stay. We had our evening meal which was totally amazing. A really lovely pub to use, very friendly and helpful staff. The pub is very busy so we recommend booking to avoid the fine food served, breakfast was just amazing. The room was lovely and clean, warm and stylish, we had a good night’s sleep. Definitely one to come back for.

Just perfect.

Very friendly staff made our experience ( me, son and two doggies) near perfect. Great real ales ( Sharps Doom-bar was most welcome). We asked about the lunch
menu at which point a most wonderfully pleasant guy called Callum described the excellent specials in particular the pies, offered our dogs water and could not have been more helpful. He is a huge credit to this pub/restaurant and made us feel welcome as individuals. The two steak pies were superb, general banter fab and we left with every intention of returning. Well done Callum!

Great experience - thanks Callum!

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Roast beef cooked to perfection. Staff very welcoming and attentive. Atmosphere friendly and cosy. Worth booking a table for Sunday lunch in advance. Totally recommend. We will return.

Fantastic Sunday lunch

Boxing Day.
This place wasn’t showing up on TripAdvisor at all when we started looking anxious for somewhere to eat. Lots of things didn’t register when we checked in at the Kings Arms across the road. Sleepless nights elsewhere, excited grandkids and a miserable drive from Yorkshire meant we just hit the sack for a nap. We woke to find the pub downstairs was closed! No staff on site either. Oh! How are we going to eat?! 

I had visions of us snatching chocolate buttons from the hands of small children, desperate with hunger, as every place we called on the tripadvisor list was closed or fully booked (hmm, really?). As it was, we only walked a few meters up the road and spied an open pub through the mist. 

The guy managing the bar at the Woodstock was a surly looking guy, perhaps preferred to putting his feet up. In any way, he poured us two decent pints and after so noticed people eating Inasked if they were still serving food, yes, hurray! 

We had two roast beef dinners and some wine. Food cooked to perfection, cabbage not over cooked and the beef melt in the mouth. A couple from Norfolk sat next to us and we chatted amiable for the rest of the evening, the bar closed about 9.30 and so we tried the Feathers Hotel for a night cap, but they refused us entry. 

I’m not sure why the Woodstock Arms didn’t show on Tripadvisor but it was great to see a business in the hospitality business actually open.

At last, a place to eat!

We stopped here after looking around for somewhere to eat. The gorgeous young lady was brilliant and very welcoming. The food was ok and the rest of the family had a great meal.
I ordered a pie with mashed potatoes and mixed greens.
The only thing I would charge is thicker gravy and served it on my he side.

Very welcoming staff member.

Disappointed. The rooms were expensive for what they were. In two days my wife and I banged our heads on the ceiling at least half a dozen times each, and we are neither over 5ft 8. Access to the room was up a very narrow and winding stair case. You could call it quaint if you wanted, but I could not recommend it to anyone over 6 foot, or anyone with mobility issues, or a large suitcase. With it being an old building noise travelled between floors. 
Breakfast does not start until 9 o'clock, so hard luck if you want to get off early, although there is a nice sandwich shop round the corner.
Parking is an issue, there is parking spaces outside the pub, if you are lucky, but there are parking meters - we almost got caught out - between 8am and 6pm, so despite breakfast at 9, you have to be outside before 8 to buy a ticket - no return in 4 hours. The only good news is parking is very reasonable -  £1 for 2 hours.
Breakfast was very good and service from the young lady was efficient, friendly and prompt.
I would not say I would not stay here again, but I certainly would look at B&B options first

Disappointed for the price paid

We stayed at this hotel during Nocturne Live. Having booked the hotel more than a year in advance I was a little surprised to be allocated the very small attic room which is up some tricky stairs and it was so incredibly hot. We were there in a heatwave, granted, but the small window hadn’t even been left open and being right at the top of the building with the heat rising, it was unbearable. There was a small air con unit which was switched on as we entered the room but it had its work cut out and I think it probably wasn’t man enough for the job in those conditions. I wasn’t even able to get ready properly as it was just so hot on there and we needed to get out. When we left the hotel and walked into the 31 degree heat outside we cooled down and stopped sweating so I dread to think what the temperature was in the room. The room itself was small and the shower was a bit grubby. The tap on the bathroom sink was also not properly attached. 

Be aware that the hotel doesn’t have its own parking and from what I saw most of the bays around town were restricted to three hours. We were lucky to find some street parking slightly out of the centre. It was particularly busy when we were there due to Nocturne being held at Blenheim. 

As for the positives, the building is lovely and the bar/restaurant area was nice. The bed was comfy, food was nice and the staff were really pleasant.

Nice, but not without its problems.

We had room 5 which should never be used for B&B. It was up some very precarious stairs in what look like a converted loft. The ceiling sloped right down to hip height so most of the time you are bent over! 
On a good note, the bed was comfy and the room was clean apart from the window ( see photos) I know it’s an old building but some sort of repair could be done. It made the room damp. 
The fridge was on a wooden crate, yes really! The ensuite tiny but functional but decay around shower cubicle. 
When I complained I was told we only paid the low price (£100) well we wouldn’t have paid £50 for that room. The chair was wasted as if you sat on it you had to bend double.
Dinner was average. Staff were polite and friendly especially our waitress from Wisconsin. Breakfast was fine but no offer of juice or water, or cereal etc. The cooked breakfast was plenty though but no offer of tea refill. If you decide to stay here request NOT
to have room 5.

ROOM IN THE ATTIC

A friend and I decided to stop at the Woodstock Arms in Woodstock for a lite bite to eat at lunchtime.
We ordered some drinks and found a seat, we were then given the menus. 
We noticed from the menu that only main meals were being served and there were no light bite meals. My friend asked did they serve any kind of sandwiches and was told no.
We ordered our choices. We had waited about 20 minutes before my friend was told that they didn't have any cod for the fish and chips so they would use the seabass instead at the same price.
Besides ourselves there was only another couple in the pub. I felt the wait for our food, when it eventually did come was way too long.
I ordered the seasonal vegetable rissotto, unfortunately what I received was a pea rissotto. If there were any other vegetables included I could not find them.
The pub and the staff was lovely, but unfortunately the food and length of time let the pub down.
I have since checked the Woodstock Arms website, and they definitely show a sandwich menu!! 
Such a shame but it was a very disappointing visit

Lunchtime at the Woodstock Arms - Woodstock

My wife and I visited Blenheim yesterday and called into Woodstock on the way back through. Being a Monday, most of the kitchens locally appeared to be closed except for The Woodstock Arms. Looked nice from the outside and had a quaint courtyard. Although the staff seemed accommodating, the food was terrible and over priced. My wife ordered 1 x Risotto that was described on the menu as having asparagus, lemon & pea shoots. When it arrived, the asparagus had been substituted for green beans, there was no sign of a lemon having ever seen the risotto and having sampled a taste myself, i could best describe this is bland stodge with the appearance of gruel and for that it cost £16.50 plus service charge. I confess that my halluomi and mushroom burger was ok but there was only around 15 chips accompanying my dish. Again, for £16.50 plus service charge, the portion was unreasonably insufficient.

I would honestly suggest to visitors, save your money, go to the local deli in the high st, and buy your lunch from there.

Sorry Woodstock Arms but we will not return.
