The room was spacious and newly updated, bathroom was beautiful. Location was perfect, right in town and a 10-15 minute walk to Blenheim Palace. Had supper at The Chef Imperial, best Chinese food I’ve ever had!

Little Gem
A little Gem of an Inn, and the winner is it is very dog friendly. The room was big for 2 adults and 2 older children and a dog. Lovely decor and a great location. Service was great, we also eat an evening meal at the pub which was great after a day of exploring.

Lovely old in with lots of character. A good location with on site parking which is rare in that area. Lovely large room, well decorated and a large comfy bed with good pillows. There was also a sofa and wooden chest as a coffee table, very bright and pleasant. The only suggestion I could make would be a swivel bracket on the TV so your can watch it in bed. The bathroom was lovely, nice and large with good fittings and an enormous shower with toiletries provided. A very good breakfast was provided, well worth £12.50 per person, which has to be booked on check in. I had the full English with "proper pork sausages" and plenty of toast to go with it all cooked by a lady with a beautiful voice singing whilst cooking in the kitchen. A continental breakfast was also available with fruit juices served by a very nice young man. There were little tables and chairs in the front where you could sit and people watch. All together a lovely pleasant place to stay and highly recommended. The inly improvement to be made was that there was only one person working the bar checking in guests and answering random questions so you were constantly disturbed whilst trying to check in but not a major issue. Overall, a lovely place to stay and very convenient for the shops, museum and Blenheim Palace.

Three old school friends stayed in the big room at the front which was perfect for all of us to be together. The room was beautifully decorated with a spacious walk-in shower. The room had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the location was convenient for everything. Staff were all friendly.

Lovely old village pub.
The Punch Bowl is a lovely old village pub, full of individual character and charm. Really welcoming and friendly staff, nice old bar, great food. It's right in the middle of Woodstock village, and just over the road from Marlborough Palace and grounds.
