The Blenheim Buttery

The room condition was appalling ! Breakfast was good,

Very friendly, family run place to stay. Our room (5) was larger than expected, clean with a comfortable bed, nice enough bathroom and an adequate TV. We were staying to attend an evening event at Blenheim Palace and it's well located and easily walkable. Nice enough cooked breakfast included in the reasonable rate. Couple of annoyances - there was a room above with very squeaky floorboards and the occupant was walking around constantly up until midnight and again from 7.00am. Massive noise from outside in the street at 6.00am which I assume was the council collecting rubbish (obviously that isn't the BB's fault). The parking is a bit of a nightmare, we had to lurk for over half an hour for a nearby on-street spot to become available and it was impossible to pay beyond 8.00am the following morning which meant me having to get up and dressed to go buy a new ticket at 7.45 am. The parking machines did advise that payment was possible through a parking app but they also tell you to stick a printed ticket on your dashboard, I'm not sure how you do that with an app so not wishing to take a chance I paid at the machine. Regardless of the noise and parking annoyances would happily return.

This is a great place to stay in lovely Woodstock. The room was cosy but toasty warm and very quiet. The hot water in the shower was excellent. A tasty breakfast (great eggs) and the front of house team were very friendly. Thank you - a firm recommendation.
