About The Punchbowl Inn
Families after a base for exploring Blenheim Palace, and travellers keen to be within easy reach of Oxford, will find The Punchbowl Inn a straightforward fit. This is a modest ten-room hotel on Oxford Street in the centre of Woodstock, with free on-site parking, making it a practical choice for those arriving by car rather than a grand destination in itself.
Rooms are en-suite, with family rooms available and drinks provided in the room, and breakfast is served each morning. The inn has its own restaurant and bar, plus a garden for quieter moments, and kids' meals are catered for. Free WiFi and luggage storage round out the practical amenities, while free parking on site is a bonus for those touring the wider area by car.
Woodstock itself offers pubs, restaurants and eateries within walking distance, and the surrounding countryside suits cyclists and walkers, with golf and fishing also nearby. It's a fair base for a night or two rather than a long stay, ideal for those splitting their time between the town, Blenheim Palace and a day trip into Oxford.
