We had a lovely one night stay here. It is a cosy period property with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We also ate dinner and it was exceptional! Our double room was nicely decorated and comfortable. It wasn't very large but perfectly adequate in size and also what you would expect from a period property. The stairs to the rooms are steep, quite narrow and winding so could be tricky if you have restricted mobility but were absolutely fine for us. The staff were welcoming and helpful and gave us a delicious complimentary breakfast despite us not having paid for it, as there was a bit of a booking confusion. Definitely recommend for a comfortable stay in Woodstock.

Other reviewers have mentioned room number 5, which is where I stayed. It’s in the attic.
The room was very clean but hot to the point of being unbearable.
There was a very inadequate portable air conditioner. With temperatures in the high 20s it’s really important to invest in good appliances and the air conditioner did nothing to lower the room temperature.
The fridge was empty, no water supplied until a member of staff came up to sort a minor problem with the shower and a bottle of water and ice was brought up when he realised how hot the room was.
The shower attachment was loose so the water sprayed out and the taps in the sink were loose.
Not a great experience overall.

I would really recommend this pub for your stay in Oxford.
The room I had was decent and the food i ate both in the evening (it has a predominant seafood menu with specials) and breakfast was excellent.
The staff were friendly and accommodating, even when they were busy.

Extremely disappointed with our stay due to excessive noise, had to phone dosn after midnight asking it to stop, not a good idea of staff holding a party whilst you have paying guests staying.
Particularly chose separate rooms so as to get a good night sleep which we certainty didn't get.

The Woodstock arms is a warm and welcoming pub. The room was cramped with al
Most no space at all to unpack a smallł case. But we managed. The bed was comfortable. Shower not great. The room could do with a paint job and the shower took a long time to get warm. Tea making facilities were good. Breakfast is fine if you’re a meat and eggs eater. There is almost nothing on the menu for those who might like cereal, yogurt, fruit. Staff
Were friendly and helpful. Altogether a happy stay in a very nice small town.

Despite a warm and polite welcome and a pleasant/compact room for a single person, the Woodstock Arms is not suitable for the business traveller. Breakfast isn't available until 9 and there are no alternatives offered, there are coat hooks but no hangars for shirts and suits etc, I had to clean the coffee cups and the teaspoon which appeared to have dried food on it. No TV remote control in the room but a second visit to ask at the bar yielded a replacement. There was considerable noise from the bar until around 1115 pm which is understandable but once again, not suitable for someone who has to get up early for work.

Birthday treat

Lovely break away for the wife's birthday, Cosy room with very comfy bed and the usual small en-suite facilities.
The staff were great, so friendly and helpful and the food was great. Woodstock is a lovely village with several nice pub`s.
The only minor complaint would be the sneaky 12.5% service chanrge added to our food and drinks bill, although that could be just that I missed it on a menu, still with a pricey menu an added charge seemed a bit much.

Lovely room, parking a nightmare

Lovely clean, comfy room. Staff very pleasant.
Parking was a bit of a nightmare- there is 3 hour on street parking right outside the pub which we eventually managed to get into. However we were staying overnight so we’re a bit worried about getting a fine but the staff advised that wardens don’t normally check (and to be fair, we were ok overnight). All parking in Woodstock is 1 or 3 hour, apart from a small 12 hour car park which we tried but couldn’t find a space. The town gets crowded on event days…..

Almost great but not quite

The pub itself is lovely, really old and quaint but the rooms are not up to standard for the price paid. Our room in the eaves was extremely tiny and the layout not well thought out. With just a little extra careful storage additions the room would have been much more comfortable. There was no room cleaning and our tea/coffee not topped up or cups washed. The TV only had 4 obscure channels. There was no hairdryer and only 2 very feeble hangers on an very low rail and the blind was broken. A mirror above the sink and a light over the mirror would have made all the difference. The bed however, was really comfy and the room beautifully quiet at ngiht once the pub was closed.The breakfast was excellent and standard of food good but it was a shame this was not included as it did make for a very expensive stay especially considering the quality of the room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and it is a shame that we came away feeling a little disatsfied as it would take very little to bring the standards up. The rooms are decorated nicely and fittings of good quality but just a little more thought and care is needed.

Perfect location central in the town & reasonable cost. Attractive Cotswolds pub which could draw in more customers with open fires and comfy chairs and sofas which are sorely lacking in Woodstock and such a missed opportunity. The pub food could have been better and a little bit of bathroom maintenance would have improved the standard of the room. Our stay was fine but a little attention to a few details would take the Woodstock Arms to another level!
