NOT 4 STAR Don't let...

Liked: The staff were nice and the room was clean but old.
Disliked: Don't let the photos fool you, this is a motel next to a petrol station and a very busy main road. It was £220 a night, the room was small, the furnishings were very old and worn, and our bathroom window opened right onto a beer garden. It was blisteringly hot and the window had restricted opening of about 2 inches. We didn't sleep due to the noise and the lack of ventilation. As soon as we arrived and saw the room we asked to check out but they informed us that we couldn't do that unless we were happy to forfeit the whole £420 booking. I would never stay here again. A huge disappointment.

Welcoming, accommodating and comfortable. Everything...

Liked: Good communication prior to visit. Warm welcome in inviting reception bar area. We arrived early but our room was ready for us. Dinner menu had good choices and a reasonable wine menu. Prompt service of drinks and food and bill. Breakfast was superb. Excellent choices of hot and cold and bottomless coffee! ALL the staff were friendly and helpful. Room was immaculate. Lovely big white fluffy towels far superior to other more expensive hotels!! Plenty of parking next to rooms. Lovely gardens and outside seated areas for dinner and drinks.
Disliked: Everything was more than satisfactory. I would not hesitate to recommend the Duke of Marlborough. I will certainly be staying here again if available when I next visit the area.

Very good and would definitely...

Liked: Lovely old pub, plenty of outdoor seating, good large car park. great location for Woodstock/Blenheim/Oxford/Chipping Norton.Convenient and regular bus service right on doorstep.Very helpful,friendly and cheerful staff.Good pub grub nothing fancy but very acceptable.Good breakfast.Room/bathroom was spotlessly clean.Good value for money, I’ve stayed in far more expensive places that haven’t been as good!
Disliked: The room was extremely hot and stuffy due to the very hot weather and no air conditioning. However there was a fan which helped to some extent.Also the bathroom although spotlessly clean could really do with a makeover… the decor and panelling has definitely seen better days but that’s me being really critical.
