Disappointed. The rooms were expensive for what they were. In two days my wife and I banged our heads on the ceiling at least half a dozen times each, and we are neither over 5ft 8. Access to the room was up a very narrow and winding stair case. You could call it quaint if you wanted, but I could not recommend it to anyone over 6 foot, or anyone with mobility issues, or a large suitcase. With it being an old building noise travelled between floors. 
Breakfast does not start until 9 o'clock, so hard luck if you want to get off early, although there is a nice sandwich shop round the corner.
Parking is an issue, there is parking spaces outside the pub, if you are lucky, but there are parking meters - we almost got caught out - between 8am and 6pm, so despite breakfast at 9, you have to be outside before 8 to buy a ticket - no return in 4 hours. The only good news is parking is very reasonable -  £1 for 2 hours.
Breakfast was very good and service from the young lady was efficient, friendly and prompt.
I would not say I would not stay here again, but I certainly would look at B&B options first

Disappointed for the price paid

We have been here a few times now but this weekend being our first actual stay. We had our evening meal which was totally amazing. A really lovely pub to use, very friendly and helpful staff. The pub is very busy so we recommend booking to avoid the fine food served, breakfast was just amazing. The room was lovely and clean, warm and stylish, we had a good night’s sleep. Definitely one to come back for.

Just perfect.

We had room 5 which should never be used for B&B. It was up some very precarious stairs in what look like a converted loft. The ceiling sloped right down to hip height so most of the time you are bent over! 
On a good note, the bed was comfy and the room was clean apart from the window ( see photos) I know it’s an old building but some sort of repair could be done. It made the room damp. 
The fridge was on a wooden crate, yes really! The ensuite tiny but functional but decay around shower cubicle. 
When I complained I was told we only paid the low price (£100) well we wouldn’t have paid £50 for that room. The chair was wasted as if you sat on it you had to bend double.
Dinner was average. Staff were polite and friendly especially our waitress from Wisconsin. Breakfast was fine but no offer of juice or water, or cereal etc. The cooked breakfast was plenty though but no offer of tea refill. If you decide to stay here request NOT
to have room 5.

ROOM IN THE ATTIC

In the past had some great visits to this pub. Went on a Friday night and could not believe that it was almost deserted and that they had no real ales on. Food experience was poor. The homemade steak and ale pie was a processed pie whose home was many miles from Woodstock and the salads served were almost uneatable. In this age of rising prices the effort shown here to attract customers again was non existent. My advice is save your money

Sad the decline

Deeply unfriendly bar staff and landlord/manager, no bar snacks, overtly rude in every interaction. Won't be coming here again any time soon. After leaving, walked across road to King's Arms and found really friendly warm welcome there. 

Rude and unfriendly 

We visited for lunch yesterday, but boy do we wish we had chosen somewhere else. 
The steak & ale “pie of the day” at £16.50 consisted of a pale, soggy, microwaved Pukka Pie style thing, with a sloppy beige filling the texture of baby food, and not a piece of steak to be found. 
Accompanying this delight were a tiny handful of chips and some cold, undercooked kale. 
Along with this delightful cold greenery, my partner had a small ball of packet mash and two sausages (he did say these tasted ok) , also overpriced. 
They had the nerve to add a 12.5% service charge for these culinary delights. Do your self a favour, eat elsewhere. 

Dreadful overpriced food. Eat elsewhere!

A very disappointing visit to a pub we have been several times before. A real shame to see standards have slipped so badly. We ordered a pie and a burger. These dishes were ‘pub grub’ at best, something you would expect to pay about £6 for not £16.50 and £17 respectively. These are ‘gourmet pub’ prices. The meals finally arrived taking over 40 minutes. The pie was extremely average with little meat in it and the burger was burnt and had to be sent back. The new one, when it arrived, was very cheap meat and tasteless and topped with undercooked bacon and congealing cheese in a bland white bun. Again, fine I suppose for ‘pub grub’ but not for £17. Hopefully, this pub can return to its previously high standards as it is a very nice pub in an ideal location or, I guess, custom will drop quite rapidly.

Very disappointing.

Very friendly staff made our experience ( me, son and two doggies) near perfect. Great real ales ( Sharps Doom-bar was most welcome). We asked about the lunch
menu at which point a most wonderfully pleasant guy called Callum described the excellent specials in particular the pies, offered our dogs water and could not have been more helpful. He is a huge credit to this pub/restaurant and made us feel welcome as individuals. The two steak pies were superb, general banter fab and we left with every intention of returning. Well done Callum!

Great experience - thanks Callum!

Very disappointed indeed. After making the reservation on the 22nd Nov, i called to confirm as was unsure where we would be seated. The lady said that she managed to fit us inside ( garden room outside apparently and not helpful in December!)
However, on the day, having travelled 90mins we were stuck in traffic and were running 5mins late,so i called only to be informed  by the 'supervisor' that there was no reservation and they didn't have space.
 Not great when I have to sort a 4 year old and two 75+ out. 

Should have read the tripadvisor reviews beforehand. So i have learnt my lesson. Just dont trust reservations online or via a phone call. 

As for the food. Who knows, we went without. 



Don't trust your reservation- but thanks for the reminder email the day before (!)

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Roast beef cooked to perfection. Staff very welcoming and attentive. Atmosphere friendly and cosy. Worth booking a table for Sunday lunch in advance. Totally recommend. We will return.
