We booked the 'Duke' for a visit to Oxfordshire. After a long trip from Pembrokeshire we arrived to a warm welcome. We had our first evening meal at the pub and were very pleased with the food and the service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast was just the right proportions, the sausage one of the... More

From the time we first arrived nothing was too much trouble for the extremely hard-working staff. They really are a selling point of this establishment- the room was fine although we learnt it was next in line for refurbishment- that said, the beds were very comfortable and we heard no traffic noise during our 2 night stay despite being on...

We stayed 1 night at The Duke of Marlborough which is a quaint country pub with motel type rooms attached as we were visiting Blenheim Palace and wanted somewhere close by to stay. Our room was warm, clean and a good size with a double (very comfy) and single bed but it could do with a coat of paint. That... More

The Duke of Marlborough rooms are excellent value for money. The restaurant serves excellent home cooked food. The steaks are superb. I recommend you visit this inn, even for a meal when you are passing. You will not be disappointed.

You couldn't fault the staff, thy were great and the food is excellent. But the rooms are like a motel with a double storey building whose bedroom doors open directly to the outside. The upper floor has an external staircase to it. I felt very vulnerable knowing that there was only a standard room door between me and the car... More

just returned from a delightful 3 night break at this lovely, cosy inn. The hotel is about a five minute drive to the charming, quaint village of Woodstock. Oxford was about a fifteen minute drive away. We had a family room which had a double & a single bed with a large bathroom. The room was very clean with ample... More

I spent one week at this charming inn for business in November. The location was about one mile from the beautiful village of Woodstock. It was quiet, and it had free parking. The host, Derek, and his staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu was varied and the food excellent. The best part for me was the Full English breakfast,... More
