Woodstock manor was the perfect place for our families from the USA,Spain and the UK. The accommodation was excellent and the house well equipped for all 18 of us! The Americans couldn’t believe that they stayed in a house that was older than their country!!

Amazing House, in a perfect location and perfect for our family Christmas
We stayed here over Christmas with our family and the house was perfect for a few days in the country. Blenheim Palace on your doorstep and walks into the village it was ideal. The fireplace, large dining room and huge rooms - the house was presented perfectly and would happily stay here again.
I would like say how wonderful the house was and perfect we the weekend we had planned.
It’s a lovely property and would highly recommend to others
Thank you for a fabulous stay

We had very high expectations but the property surpassed them! A breathtaking spot that is fully kitted out for comfort. Fantastic service with clear and timely info.
A well kept, clean property with a real warmth. Room Sizes are large with every room decorated in its own style. The fireplace in the main living room is so cosy! Great location for either walking to the local shops or driving around for site seeing purposes.

Thank you for your lovely review and we would love to welcome you back soon.
Central heating instructions would be useful. We had quite a few large wasps appearing from somewhere on the top floor. The gate at the bottom of the garden cannot be used as the sunken wall is blocking it. Apart from these small issues we had a wonderful stay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you had a wonderful stay overall. We would like to note that detailed instructions for operating the central heating are clearly provided in the digital welcome pack sent to all guests prior to arrival. We will, however, review this to ensure the information remains as clear and easy to locate as possible. We will also look into the issue you mentioned with the wasps and inspect the garden gate, as it is normally fully operational. We appreciate your comments and thank you again for choosing to stay with us.

Wow this house was amazing! We came here for a hen weekend and everyone was so impressed by the house and the stunning garden. Bedrooms were all beautiful, huge amount of space. Lovely living room- 18 of us were able to watch the coronation in the main room by bringing a few chairs in from the dining room, we had a wonderful weekend! Would definitely stay again, in fact, I’ll be looking for a reason to stay again!
The house is very lovely. Comfortable and very clean. The management team is helpful. It is across the street form Blenheim so the access to the gardens is amazing. Only one question is why don’t they have a clothes dryer in a house that large. We would love to go back.

Dear Michelle,
Thank you for your review of Woodstock Manor. It's great to hear you enjoyed your stay at the property and it's location to Blenheim Palace. Thank you for your feedback about having a clothes dryer - there is a Pulleymaid in the outhouse for drying clothes should this be needed. We may consider tumble dryers if this is something in demand.
Many thanks,
Catherine - Worton Park Holiday Lets
The property was spacious and the rooms were very well soundproofed. Slightly tight to seat 18 but we managed! Generally well equipped but another TV would be great.

A lovely house within walking distance of the lovely village of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. We enjoyed our annual Christmas get together of a large group of 12 girl friends. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of bathroom facilities. A large kitchen and magnificent round table in the dining room. We were a little disappointed there were no Christmas decorations up as it was the first weekend of December, but we managed to find them!
The property was fantastic, so close to Blenheim Palace and right on the edge of Woodstock, an easy walk into town. The house itself was beautiful and all rooms were large with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. The only downside was that the pool was located a ten minute drive away, which I only realised once reading the small print. The photos imply it is with the house. Also while I realise the doors were most likely all fire doors, so we required to be closed, a few door stops would have been helpful. Apart from that, no complaints and we would definitely stay again!

Great location, few mins walk to local pub and 10 minutes Shirt stroll into town where shops and more pubs, restaurants are. The house was very spacious and perfect for our group of 1&.
Thanks for taking a look at our properties. Worton Park based in Oxfordshire has been running holiday lets since 2012. We currently have six beautiful properties located across three sites sleeping from 2 to 22 people. Each house has its own character and are presented to a high standard. Our holiday homes are perfect for group gatherings, celebrations, or as a comfortable base from which to explore Oxfordshire and The Cotswolds.
Why they chose this property
Woodstock Manor is a very special house. This house is noted as the birthplace of Edward 'The Black Prince' son of King Edward III of England, and it has retained lots of it's original character. Children and adults alike will enjoy exploring across the three-floor maze with views of Blenheim Palace. We love it and we're confident you will too.
