A great one-night stay We arrived much earlier than check in but Melissa was so kind and took our bags for us. She was professional but friendly and she was an amazing first impression of the hotel. She told us she would ring us when our room was available and she did exactly that. When we got back at check in time, she and her colleague remembered us and were brilliant with help and advice about the hotel. Our room was in the old part of the hotel and was clean and complete with everything we needed. We booked for dinner that evening and the food and service were fabulous. We stayed at the weekend of the Blenheim Palace flower show and so breakfast was very busy, however, we had a lovely cooked breakfast delivered as it should be. Can't really think of a reason not to stay at The Bear

Dreadful service Booked for Sunday lunch at 1PM on 29th June. Arrived at 12.50 we were not able to order until about 13.20. It then took 50 minutes to get our first course. The main course came at about 2.45. We gave up waiting for the sweet course. The poor waiter kept passing on excuses. A party of about 12 arrived for afternoon tea and sandwiches at about 2pm. They were served quickly while we waited. We gave up having the sweet course and went home. This was to have been a treat paid for by a guest staying with us. I have never known such bad service in a supposedly top class restaurant.

Check local competitors for somewhere better This splendidly located landmark hotel claims but fails to be 'Luxury', as it is too faded - but was still good value for a midweek break. Breakfast is now without supplements (they have listened!) - but they had no smoked salmon, two mornings in a row, which is an indictment.

Acoustic evening with Klaara at the Bear Had a really enjoyable evening in the courtyard at the Bear in Woodstock last night. A female called Klaara entertained us with her guitar and melodies with her excellent singing voice. It was extremely well organised by Jess who also served tirelessly behind the bar along with waiting at the several tables. The discount on drinks purchased during the event was also a great idea in these austere times. Looking forward to the next live music event. Lester.

Loved my stay here Absolutely loved this cosy quant little hotel it’s full of character on checking in I was greet by the two most beautiful people, I’ve had spinal surgery so the guy accommodated for that and gave me a beautiful room in the courtyard so I didn’t have to climb any stairs and the room was beautiful it had everything you needed, they got my bags to my room and were so lovely _ all the staff were really nice Taylor at breakfast and the lovely guy checking me in and out of the restaurant the breakfast was lovely I had smoked salmon and scrambled egg with avocado one morning then a full English with a poached egg the next all cooked to perfection, i will definitely be going back to stay as my son lives in the area it’s a great price fabulous room fabulous staff and delicious breakfast! I was actually shocked reading the bad reviews as I’m well travelled and couldn’t fault this beautiful traditional hotel
