About Macdonald Bear Hotel
Woodstock is a market town in Oxfordshire best known for its proximity to Blenheim Palace, and it's on Park Street here that you'll find the Macdonald Bear Hotel, a long-established property with plenty of period character. The building's history shows in its traditional styling, giving the place a classic English coaching-inn feel rather than anything corporate.
There are 54 rooms across three floors, including family and accessible options, all with en-suite bathrooms. Guests get breakfast, room service and laundry service as standard, with packed lunches available for days out. The hotel is pet-friendly, so dogs are welcome to join. Food and drink is covered by an on-site restaurant, a bar and a snack bar, plus outdoor seating for warmer days, and there's a business area with meeting rooms for those combining work with a stay.
Beyond Blenheim Palace, the surrounding area offers fishing and horse riding, along with pubs and restaurants nearby for evenings out. On-site parking is available, though it comes at an extra charge, worth factoring into any visit.
Guests consistently praise this hotel for its friendly, helpful, and attentive staff, as well as its great breakfast with extensive choices. Convenient parking is also frequently mentioned as a positive aspect of the stay.
Some reviews mention the food can be of poor quality.
