A charming nice inn

This historic coaching inn is well maintained. A charming lounge with fireplace offering a very relaxing atmosphere. The room is small but it’s okay for one night stay. Weather was hot there is just a small electric fan in the room. Breakfast is good.

Blenheim palace trip

We chose the Marlborough Arms in Woodstock for its proximity to the palace. It’s a lovely old building with lots of ups and downs between floors. The room was clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and the breakfast sets you up for the day. Perfect stay and we really enjoyed ourselves
