I had a great stay at the Shire Riverview for their Wassail week-end. The rooms were really nice and the view out the back was gorgeous. I also found the staff to be very friendly. I would definitely go back -Woodstock is also a gorgeous town. more

Just returned from a very restful stay at the Shire Riverview in Woodstock over Thanksgiving weekend. My experience was excellent. I used TripAdvisor to locate the Shire and decided to stay there despite previous mixed ratings from other travelers. I am glad I chose to stay. Everything was great. We were treated very warmly by the staff during the entire... more

Shire Motel, Charged Twice for Room Sept 26, 2007 EAB, NJ The hotel charged my credit card twice for our one night stay and refused initially to give me a credit. They did call two hours later and said they'd found the mistake. This was after I'd spent a frustrating hour on the phone between the motel and my credit... more

Three teachers went for 1 night for a last minute before school fling. It was so-so, (one of the less expensive motels.) The Home Made bananna bread was great @ brkfast, & brkfast was fine. The room was only fair--Old & needing renovation soon...however, it was CLEAN! All in all, I would pay a little more, & be happier....some staff... more

Unfortunately, we only had one night's stay in Woodstock but were very happy with our accommodation at the Shire Riverview Motel. The rates were comparatively reasonable, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean and spacious and quiet. We booked directly on-line and the responses by email were helpful and prompt. We would stay there again. more

We keep returning to this wonderful place because of many things. It is a beautiful motel with lovely and comfortable rooms with unbelievable views of the rolling hills and the... more

We first learned about the Shire Motel from a travel book back in 1998. We had such a wonerful experience that we've been returning for about three times a year, every year since. We have never been dissapointed. In addition to the owners, who are warm, friendly, and helpful people, every single person on the staff we have encountered over... more

While the motel is okay and the town of Woodstock is lovely, I agree with the other reviewers about the rude staff and management. A call to the front desk to ask why the the air conditioning was not working properly was handled abruptly and with no concern for my discomfort. Although the motel is advertised as non-smoking, guests on... more

The two rooms we occupied were clean, and nicely decorated. One room of our rooms had a very pretty view of the river. Contrary to the experiences in other reviews of this property, the staff was very nice. We thought the rate was reasonable. If we're ever in the area again - and we plan to be - we would... more
