Dining
The Duke Of Marlborough won the BEST GASTRO PUB award at the Oxinabox awards in 2024. The kitchen is led by a recently appointed executive chef who uses locally sourced ingredients for the menu. Two distinct dining areas offer different culinary experiences, with live music nights and bespoke menus available for larger group bookings.
Accommodation
Thirteen beautifully renovated en-suite hotel rooms feature unique animal habitat-themed room decor. Each room is warm and spacious, with large king-sized beds and private bathrooms with big baths and powerful showers. The rooms are located in an annexe set back from the main road, offering a quiet and peaceful setting.
Location
The hotel sits 2 miles from Woodstock and a 5-minute drive from Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Historic Oxford is a 25-minute drive away, and the Cotswolds are easily accessible by car. A bus stop right outside the hotel provides service into Woodstock and Oxford.
Family & Pets
The hotel is family-friendly and dog-friendly, with a secret garden and outdoor games area including pétanque and table tennis. Kids' meals are available, and the staff can accommodate dietary needs with generous portion sizes. Free on-site parking and efficient check-in/check-out processes make group arrivals straightforward.
Entertainment & Atmosphere
The bar features roaring log fires and both indoor and heated outdoor seating areas. Live music nights are held regularly, and the pub has a strong community feel with engaging staff. Two dining areas and a separate private function room allow for different social settings.
