About
The Woodstock Arms is a bistro pub at 6 to 8 Market Street, Woodstock, in the middle of the town. Its website shows badges for two AA Rosettes and three AA stars, both for 2025.
It opens every day from 9am for breakfast and coffee, with lunch from noon and dinner from 5pm. The kitchen serves all day until 9pm, and the bar stays open late. Dogs and children are welcome, and tables can be booked online.
Upstairs are five rooms, each decorated differently, four with king or super-king beds and one with a large double, from £90 a night. Its Booking.com listing gives check-in from 4pm to 10pm and check-out by 10am, and takes pets on request at no extra charge.
It is a few minutes' walk to the gate of Blenheim Palace and to The Oxfordshire Museum, which makes it a useful stop for coffee before a visit or an early dinner after one. Its website already lists its festive opening times for Christmas 2026.
