Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The room was stunning and cozy, complete with complimentary brandy and sherry that added a touch of luxury. The service was fantastic, and the location near charming villages and local attractions was perfect. However, the dining experience had its ups and downs.
The hotel was a lovely stay, with charming rooms only a short drive from Blenheim Palace. The location is great for exploring the area, but some noise from the road could be a minor inconvenience. The dining was delightful, especially the evening meal, setting up well for the day.
The hotel has a charming location in the village of Wootton, near Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. The rooms are stylishly furnished and cozy, although they need proper cleaning. The dining options are excellent with local produce cooked to perfection, but be mindful of the flies in the restaurant. Overall, a beautiful place to stay with some areas for improvement.
