A lovely find in a convenient location. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do more to accommodate us and our dog. The room was clean and tidy and had everything you need for a short stay. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed the stay. Thank you 😊

Room was very clean and nice, we stayed in the 2 bedroom suite but there are no doors for the 2 different rooms, walls are soo thin that you can hear everything happening on the hallway outside the room and the constant slamming of the door that connects from the restaurant to the rooms was extremely loud, woke us up constantly in the early morning so bring ear plugs. Location is great.

The room was nice, except the fact it was two single beds put together, very uncomfortable couple of nights, staff were nice enough, chicken kebabs where a bit undercooked towards the top of the skewer and the squid was over cooked and chewy, the hotel is dog friendly and has a lovely open fire and great walks near by

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 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.
