Lovely weekend away

Stayed for a couple of nights with my other half for weekend away. Was the perfect stay for us. Comfy room with everything we needed. Staff were all very friendly. Ate dinner there friday night and food was very good. Breakfast was great too. Woodstock itself is the perfect size for a relaxed weekend. Lots of nice cafes, restaurants and walks. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Satisfied Customers

Hotel entrance & reception could do with looking smarter, but sraircase & landings were better. The rooms were well equipped & clean, the beds comfortable, good supplies of tea, coffee, real milk in pods, biscuits ets. The shower room was small but well equipped and clean. All the staff, reception, waitress, cleaner were friendly polite and happy to help. Location in the centre of Woodstock so some traffic passing through at night. Blenheim Palace very close by. My son & I had a positive experience at the Kings Arms. It was very good value for money.

A gem in Oxfordshire!

An exceptional stay from start to finish. The whole team were so welcoming and friendly. I got a free upgrade on a Sunday night, so my room was lovely - really spacious, beauitfully decorated, comfy bed, great shower and every amenity you could need - coffee machine, kettle, DAB radio, good TV, iron and hairdryer and beautiful Bramley (cruelty free) toiletries, and some Cotswolds shortbread for a sweet snack! The fan in room was welcome as it's an older, character building with no air-con. There's a bit of noise from outside, but nothing that stopped me getting a good night's sleep and the secondary glazing helped. I had dinner and breakfast downstairs, a fantastic beef roast, and a veggie cooked breakfast with fresh fruit and delicious pastries. Great selection of drinks as you'd expect from a pub hotel, including a good selection of no-alcohol options. A two minute walk to Blenheim Palace as well, which was my main reason for staying. I would absolutely stay again for a relaxing and well-fed break!

Fantastic breakfast

Room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. Only issue was it was a double bed not a king bed as Hotels.com put on their advert. Best to check direct with the pub before booking if this is important to you.
