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.

Superb

Liked: The setting along the river with patio or balcony is great, especially with the firepits. Plus, a market and lots of shops and restaurants are right near by and walkable.

Great for a quick stop...

Liked: A neat, clean, tidy hotel with an efficient staff and check-in and check-out. Woodstock is a very nice town to stay in!
Disliked: Small things ... the image on the ad must be of the back of the hotel. The front is more of an on-street Motel look, albeit clean and safe feeling. My corner room was on the main street side, and traffic was audible. The curtains were sufficient for the "fishbowl" room of windows to get privacy. It's on me, but I didn't discover that I didn't have a shower curtain until the morning ... the bath was fine.

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.
