The Spotlight on The Shire Woodstock

Charming Riverside Retreat in the Heart of Woodstock

The Shire Woodstock blends traditional New England charm with a serene riverside location, just a short stroll from downtown Woodstock. Overlooking the peaceful Ottauquechee River, this classic inn-style hotel offers a cozy, laid-back atmosphere with vintage touches and easy access to the area's top attractions and local music spots.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate The Shire Woodstock for its quiet, post-show atmosphere and central location. With local music venues and seasonal festivals nearby, it's a great base for catching a show and then unwinding by the river. Plus, onsite free parking makes it easy to drive in for a night and head out the next day. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out give you some flexibility around show times.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a low-key, scenic stay
- Solo travelers coming to see a bucket-list artist or festival
- Couples enjoying a romantic concert weekend
- Fans seeking peace and quiet after a night of music
- Budget-conscious music fans who want value and charm

Food and Drink Options

While The Shire Woodstock doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you're just a short walk from downtown eateries offering late-night bites and morning-after breakfasts. The rooms include a mini fridge for snacks, and the staff is happy to recommend local favorites for post-show meals.

Nightlife Options

The hotel is close to Woodstock’s cozy bars and pubs, many of which host local live music and serve craft beers and cocktails. Expect a more relaxed, small-town vibe—perfect if you're in the mood for something chill after the concert.

What People Say

Guests love the scenic river views, charming decor, and friendly staff. Many highlight the quiet rooms and central location, ideal for enjoying Woodstock without the hassle. Pet owners also give bonus points for the pet-friendly rooms (with advance notice).

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that the decor is more classic than modern, and a few rooms could use minor updates. There’s no elevator, so pack light if you're on an upper floor. But for most, the charm and location outweigh the quirks.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Woodstock and want a peaceful, picturesque place to crash after the show, The Shire Woodstock is a smart, scenic choice.

Wonderful Vermont inn

Liked: Beautiful very large room with clean tidy colonial furniture and comfortable king bed and modern bathroom. Wonderful setting on a beautiful river with outdoor and patio furniture to relax and enjoy the lovely scene. Quick and easy checkin and checkout. Great location a few steps to beautiful and quaint classic Vermont village of Woodstock. No ce grocery right across the street. This is the best inn we’ve stayed at and the price is reasonable.

Perfect location for a getaway.

Liked: Location was phenomenal - right next to a river, market across the street and local shopping within walking distance. Grounds were beautiful and outdoor chairs and fire pit were available. Room didn’t have a coffee station but we brought our own.
Disliked: Wish the windows would open so we could enjoy the beautiful breeze and the gurgling river. The window near the door needs a room darkening shade. The hallway light was bright (for safety reasons I’m sure) and so our room was semi-dark.
