Location excellent to visit Blenheim Palace. It's approximately a 10 minute car drive away. There is also bus stop opposite into Woodstock. We also visited Bampton. A village in which some of the series Downton Abbey was filmed and Burford, another Cottswold Village. Both approx 30 minutes drive away. The rooms are in an annexe which may not suit everyone but, other than a noisy radiator, was peaceful. Plenty of car parking. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Check in was excellent. We were allowed an early checkin so we were able to have coffee before heading off to the Palace. The venue is a restaurant, but didn't have a meal this time. Would definitely stay again.

The food was really nice, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The starter that we shared was a good size and tasty and our evening meals (I had the venison pie and my wife had the salmon), were genuinely tasty, it was nice to have a meal out where the taste experience wasn’t generic. The staff were very attentive and pleasant, even when busy , we never felt like we had to “look around” to find someone. The room was nice and very quiet and clean.

I guess my only niggles, one of which is a subjective one is that the bed was a bit soft for us, but like I say, it’s subjective. The other is that the coffee was rather luke warm at breakfast. So yeah, not exactly deal-breakers!

The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed family time sitting and visiting a long time each morning over breakfast because the setting, food, and service were all so nice. The bus stop right outside the hotel Was an added bonus for us which we were not expecting. My parents were able to take the bus into Oxford to meet my daughter and me for dinner, allowing us to go in several hours ahead of them to enjoy the city while they rested.

My room did not have a hair dryer. All of the positive elements of staying at the Duke of Marlborough more than make up for this one thing though.

Excellent location for Blenheim, Woodstock and good parking facilities. Room clean and breakfast great. Lovely bar and resturant. Staff friendly helpful. I have stayed in lots of hotels in Woodstock over the past 4 years. Including the Bear that people rave about. I have to say the Duke of Marlborough is far better equipped and rooms are so much better in cleanliness and modern which is missing is so many of the other hotels. I would 100% recommend this hotel and I have already booked it again. 5 stars.

Nothing all good

Stunning property, welcoming staff, lovely food and beautiful room.

The bed was two single beds put together. One side of the bed was extremely comfortable but the other was very squeaky (bed springs made noise whenever you moved) and it seems there was a hard strip down the middle of the bed (holding the beds together) this one of us didn’t sleep too well and also, there was a stain on one of the bath towels; not noticed until actually using it! A very hot room, even though we switched to heating off in both rooms.

The staff is excellent, location perfect, room clean, comfortable, and quiet. Good night, sleep. Pub area very welcoming.

The basic duchess breakfast was good but unfortunately on both days was only served luke warm. Also, we felt that charging £2 pounds for each additional item, even 1 extra slice of toast, was excessive Also, the percolated coffee was just warm and very strong.

Myself and my wife travelled there for a family friends funeral. The wake was held at the Duke and we decided to book a room as it was perfect. Everything about the Duke was perfect. The room was spotless, the staff were extremely freindly and accomodating. We had to go early so dod not have time for breakfast so the manager offered us anything from the breakfast menu as a takeout as we had already paod for it. What a perfect experience and we will be staying there again when we next travel to see our family.

Nothing could be better.

Everything about the hotel was wonderful, staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again. The food was wonderful and priced very well. Highly recommended a stay.

There was nothing to dislike

Location good Room very clean, comfy bed, heating on when we arrived making room very cosy.

We had evening meal. Was t happy with the bill. We had £25 towards our roast which on the menu was £21. We had one very small piece of Turkey, two small potatoes and veg, they were very busy at lunchtime so I’m guessing there wasn’t much left, so was little disappointed. The way the bill was presented wasn’t good. They put the whole amount on bill asked for 12 1/2 %tip then took our £25off each off which is totally wrong as that would have been giving £16.00 tip on £33. We would have willing left a tip but it did annoy us a little. Maybe a rethink would be good.

Very clean and comfortable room. Very dog friendly. We stayed for three nights and slept very well. Breakfast is very good, though some fresh fruit would be appreciated. We ate dinner in the pub all three nights. Food was good pub grub but a bit heavy for us .. some lighter, fresher options would be great! Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

More varied lighter choice for dinner (more veggies!!!).. everything was quite heavy and rich (though delicious). Fresh fruits for breakfast please. Fridge in room would be a bonus.
