Marlborough Arms Hotel  

Tucked into the historic streets of Woodstock, this 15th-century coaching inn operates as a charming bed & breakfast. It’s minutes from Blenheim Palace and the Oxfordshire Museum and a short drive to the University of Oxford — a pet-friendly, family-friendly base with free on-site parking.

Elegantly finished in a classic style with contemporary touches, the inn offers 15 individually themed en-suite bedrooms that range in size and mood — from the light-filled Cobalt Room to the dramatic Sepia Room. Rooms feature premium bedding, espresso makers, flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and a mix of baths and walk-in showers. Expect a cosy lobby with a fireplace and a terrace that overlooks the town’s historic streets.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available for guests, and free self-parking is located behind the property. Pets are welcome and there’s a children’s playroom for families. The front desk can help with tours and tickets; laundry, dry-cleaning and safe-deposit services are available. Note the reception isn’t open 24 hours and some services may carry a fee.

Event-ready with conference and meeting rooms, a banquet hall and wedding services, plus express check-out and multilingual staff. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps meetings connected.

There’s an on-site restaurant and a bar/lounge for drinks. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served on weekdays from 7:30–9:30 AM and on weekends from 8:00–10:00 AM.
