The hotel room is very worn and in need of repair and a refresh, the bathroom needed a good clean with discoloured grout and mould on the tiles, arms on sofa worn and dirty and the windows in the room have paint peeling off. The staff are friendly but are all clearly new and have little experience to ask the questions that guests have ie not being able to get a dinner reservation when you book with a dinner credit.

The breakfast was average and it didn’t bother us but took a long time and if in a rush would have needed to rush them. Better quality ingredients would improve it!

Over all - disappointing but a ‘nice’ stay all the same.

This hotel is understaffed which had an impact on our view of the reception and the restaurant. There was no-one on reception when we arrived and when they eventually came, check-in did not feel welcoming and seemed unnecessarily vague in terms of screen use and bits of paper.
Restaurant was good at meet & greet but it took a long time to take orders - staff seeming to prefer to clear tables. Everyone seemed to be waiting for food only for 3 tables to get their meals served at the same time. On one of our breakfasts the fried eggs had congealed. On our second evening it took 30 minutes to get the bill!
Our room was spacious and comfortable, although the safe did not work. We reported this to the cleaner and it was fixed by the time we got back.
The Market Menu in the restaurant offers good value on a limited range of dishes. The fish & chips served to my wife on the first day was excellent - fresh fish, white, flaking and a delicious batter. The one served to me next day was unappetising, looking like it came from a packet - oblong shaped, grey white fish and breadcrumbed?
One of my breakfasts was incorrectly served (with beans and no tomatoes). When queried, the dish of beans was directly removed without any apology and no communication of whether the missing item would be fixed - it wasn't.
I feel sorry for the staff who are working under such pressure and dealing with a lot of unhappy customers. The hotel also needs to improve their customer relationship skills. Not 4*!

What a poor stay. We went on a hot weekend and were given a room at the top of the building where the window was sealed shut and no air conditioning. It was unbearable. We finally moved on the last night, too little too late.
The breakfast was overcooked, bacon hard, however the sausage was quite tasty. The restaurant though was very untidy, tables not cleaned, floors were covered in breakfast debris.
Arrived on BH Saturday, only to find the bard had no draught beers or lagers, and it wouldn't be fixed until Tuesday.
Wouldn't stay again, but will go back to Woodstock.

I cannot recall leaving a review before however, our experience was one I do not wish to repeat.
We booked a suite. It really was not worth the money. Tired, shabby & with air conditioning that sounded like a struggling car engine.
The bed however was very comfortable but overpriced.
The receptionists on both days were lovely & very welcoming.
Breakfast was terrible, by 9.20am pastries had ran out, no water & they got our order wrong. When it was finally served the toast wasn’t toasted, it was lukewarm cheap warm bread. The scrambled eggs were like rubber. The full English breakfast was inedible. The mushroom was like the sole of an old shoe, the bacon was as hard as a shatterproof ruler. Need I go on?
It was rather interesting to overhear from the other side of the ‘restaurant’ that it was like being in Fawlty Towers and I have to agree, it was!! We expressed our concerns to the manager about the breakfast and rather than waiting another 30 mins to have a replacement (yes, it took that long to be served) we just wanted to leave. We’ve never left a hotel so early to go home.
This is a hotel that appears thrives on tourists and coach tours. For the couple that want a lovely time away we found so many more places within yards that we could not believe we opted for this hotel. Gutted.

We had an goid stay at Macdonald Bear Hotel. The staff were excellent throughout, friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Our room was a good size and the location is fantastic, especially for exploring Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. Breakfast was ok, decent options but limited buffet. The room itself was a little dated and it wasn’t the quietest stay, mainly due to some very loud air con, even though it was turned off but sounded like rushing water. Overall a pleasant experience thanks to the great service and convenient location.

Generally a decent place to stay. Check in was a bit shambolic, my pet hate is being charged £5 for parking when you are paying £200 for bed and breakfast, this should be included in the room price. Didn’t eat our evening meal in the hotel but recommend the small brazzeri opposite. Breakfast was ok. The room was clean and tidy but we had to go down to reception to ask for some milk to use the tea making facilities, which we were given in a tea pot?? Strange when there is a fridge in the room.

We recently stayed at this hotel and needed a double room and a twin room. Both rooms were lovely and warm on a cold say which was very welcome. We were very happy with the stay and decided to have breakfast. It is served until 11am but when we arrived at 10am, there were very little bread/baked options and all the fruit had gone and had not been replenished. Parking is available but is at the rear of the hotel which we didn't realise until we'd parked on the road but no problem just moved our car around the back.

Lovely old coaching inn with loads of character. Obviously very popular for that reason.
However the Bed was absolutely terrible, two singles that did their best to separate. Base sides of bed showing a lot of wear. Need serious replacement of bed. Bedding immaculate though. Lovely pillows.
Breakfast was very poor. Firstly, out of smoked salmon!
Onto Full English, the poached egg was cold and very hard boiled. Deep fried \"scone\" or flatbread, just don't bother!. Beans cold, toast on poor quality loaf and had to be asked for, not offered. Butter was borderline stale or just \"off\".

The staff were inattentive and ignored my hand waving to attract their attention. Our full English breakfast was delivered to the wrong table, taken back to the kitchen and then landed on our table. The food was of poor quality with the majority of it cold. I asked for toast and was given one side cooked. I asked for it to be replaced and the second delivery was burnt.
The hotel room was exceptional and I would definitely return however I probably would not pay for the breakfast again.

Room was very comfortable, if a little hot, but made use of the fan. I was in the area for a family Ceremony on 23rd June. Weather v hot that week. 3 points: 1. Arriving late, in need of a tea or coffee, unable to locate the supplies. Had to seek out a staff member who said it was 'in the wardrobe' . It was in a cupboard under the tv. 2. tiny milk cartons are never enough , so next day I requested some fresh milk for my tea on second morning, approx 7.00am. It did not arrive. At 8.00am a found a Staff member who showed me the request on his phone, which had not been passed on. 3. I asked whether a small bottle of water could be put into their fridge for me to collect the next day. Answer \"we don't have a fridge for that sort of thing\". I think for a Hotel with such a good reputation it was a little disappointing that Staff could not have given a little more time and attention to some small details, eg where exactly to find the kettle etc..
Otherwise all ok and a good location.
