Picturesque Woodstock is home to one of England’s oldest and prettiest hotels. Built as a coaching inn in the 13th century, the Bear has played host to royalty, film stars and politicians.
The Bear is a favourite haunt for romantic couples, especially since it became a hideaway for Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor at the height of their love affair.
With its ivy façade, oak beams, open fireplaces and stone walls, it exudes warmth and cosiness, perfect if you want to escape from it all and treat yourself to some good old-fashioned hospitality.
Extensively refurbished throughout, the hotel now boasts a state of the art Conference Suite named The Old Glove Factory.
The hotel is proud of it's award winning 2 AA Rosette Restaurant offering Modern British Cuisine and friendly professional service.
Ask at reception for a VIP invitation to Bicester Outlet Shopping Village, containing vouchers with discounts of up to 60% off brands including Timerland, Paul Smith, FCUK and Villeroy & Boch.

Generally a very pleasant stay. There was the odd bit of tidying needed - a slightly broken hot tap in the bathroom, the odd bit of plaster missing, but these were tiny complaints about what was a lovely, peaceful and spacious room (19) and attentive staff. Only possible complaint would be that there was only a CD player in the bedroom, not a DVD player, which meant if you wanted to watch DVDs you needed to stay in the living room - not all that conducive to lazy Sunday mornings!

All the cosiness of a pub hotel with the quality of the Macdonald chain. The staff were very friendly and the only down point on the room was it was a converted cottage so you could hear the people above walking around.

Our room (43) was simply small, and the bathroom was frankly minute. The room rate of £184 therefore 'reflected the demand for rooms on a Saturday night,' we were told. This is not really 'value for money' in absolute terms, since after we had taken tea and snacks on arrival, and later a reasonable dinner with one and a half bottles of inexpensive wine, the bill for one night reached £348!!
