Excellent choice for breakfast. Lovely staff and owners. Nothing too much trouble even when it was the saddest of days for the family and staff. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The Marlborough is a very comfortable place to spend a few days away.

I struggled with the uneven floorboards in the bedroom we were originally due to stay in, (I have balance problems) and we were in the eves of The Marlborough hotel which is an old coach house so this is to be expected. The owners and staff immediately changed the room to a modern suite to help me. This was fantastic.

Amazing room (Room 10)! Enormous comfortable bed, and lounging area. Great Bathroom. Staff were excellent and very good breakfast included in the price. On site parking was good too. It was my wife's birthday, and there was a complimentary chilled bottle of Prosecco and a card on arrival, which was a nice touch. Elena (sorry if that's spelt wrong) was a wonderful host and very helpful to us.

Very minor point, but I though the toiletries in the shower were too high. I found them difficult to use, as I have a gammy shoulder. Everything important was great though.

Proper old coaching inn. We loved lounging around in the downstairs room with comfy chairs, warm fire and good coffee. Also the tipsy floor in our room was quite fun. We were by the road but the sound insulation worked well (not if you open the window!). The breakfast is excellent and the staff lovely. Woodstock is very attractive (good pubs and restaurants- Marlborough Arms doesn’t do food or draft beer) and Blenheim a stone’s throw. Easy to get the bus into centre of Oxford.

It’s not cheap and our standard room was not exciting (could add a few touches to decor). Shower needs a mat for safety. We received some spam trying to get our bank and ID details in message via booking.com but probably not the MA’s fault.

The bedroom was on the second floor , smaller than some others offered but perfect and quiet looking out over the courtyard which suited us better as not on the main road though they seemed lovely too ! The room was was very clean , fresh and colourful in the rooms with tasteful furnishings and well appointed , a very comfy large kingsize bed , good sized bathroom with a lovely deep bath and strong shower , warm once I got the heating sorted out in the room and the fabulous fire was lit on request once the weather turned foul with torrential rain , which we much appreciated as we needed the fire downstairs for extra warmth which made all the difference to the comfortable and interesting lounge where we enjoyed playing chess in front of the log fire until the early hours on our last night . The staff in all areas were very friendly and helpful . We had an excellent breakfast range and very kind , polite and thoughtful staff . Very helpful and accommodating of our dog too . He loved his doggie treats and he lay in front of the fire after all the excitement of different places we stayed . This was our last two nights . We look forward to staying here again ! We loved it there . We had not had a break in six years so we luckily chose well . The location is close to small shops , a decent Coop , arty and other quirky shops and boutiques for browsing or shopping but not cheap ! Blenheim Palace was the highlight for us and within walking distance about ten minutes or a short drive or bus trip from the hotel . The bus is right outside ! Makes it easy to get back to Oxford or other surrounding towns or villages . Lots of lovely restaurants and pubs nearby to suit all tastes . We would recommend The Woodstock Arms for food , coziness and good service and a great menu … we stayed their comfortably too inbetween for two nights as well as The Feathers Hotel for the first two nights which was delightful and discrete and very comfortable too .

Leaving ! That we could not stay longer !

The location is very good as you are situated right in the small town of Woodstock. Marlborough Arms has a small free car park and we were very lucky and found a space to park. Blenhiem Palace is a short walk away. We recieved a very warm welcome as we arrived early. There was a wonderful Christmas tree and a roaring log fire as you entered the reception area. The whole atmosphere at The Marlborough Arms is one of warmth, relaxation and friendliness. Reading the history of the building and looking at one of the marble fire places with the carved names and dates is very interesting.

Location is perfect on main street & very central to lovely village. Easy access to Blenheim Palace (although closed when we were there for an EU summit) if you haven’t previously visited, which we had. It wasn’t too busy - maybe due to Blenheim being closed! Hotel is an old coaching inn I believe so quirky & historic building. There was parking on site.

The weather! Tyical English summer days with rain.. A little more staff presence in the hotel - reception was rarely manned.

Superb coaching inn and excellent location. Staff very helpful. Breakfast excellent and the range of home made conserves superb. Room was very clean and well furnished. Loved the collection of mirrors and pictures.

The staircase was challenging particularly with my arthritic knees. Nevertheless a staff member offered to assist with my luggage. It was a shame that the weather had been so appalling during our stay and there was a leak in the dining area.

Lovely large bright airy room, comfortable bed. Comfy lounge areas and pretty courtyards. Breakfast service was fast with the kitchen all set to go early in the morning - super for getting to Blenheim Horse Trials early. When they say dog-friendly they do mean dog-friendly - everyone was very relaxed and kind. Parking around the back was easy too. The staff were wonderful. They made everything effortless.

The room was very pleasant and comfortable. There was a very attractive en-suite, all very clean and well kept. The breakfasts were super, an excellent buffet selection and a good menu of cooked dishes. Breakfast is taken in a beautiful room at the rear of the hotel, very calm and peaceful, just a delight! The staff at the Marlborough are very friendly and engaging, also very helpful with suggestions of where to eat, directions etc.

The Marlborough Arms was in the perfect central location. It was a beautiful hotel with an amazing feel and one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in. The rooms were so spacious and extremely comfortable and clean. The staff were so polite and so helpful. Lastly the breakfast was delicious. I’ve never left a review on a hotel before but this hotel was definitely worthy of this review and I would definitely recommend and would book this hotel again. Many thanks Steve
