Bear Hotel

The Bear Hotel is a Grade II* listed building in Woodstock with stone walls, medieval oak beams, and stone fireplaces arranged around a central courtyard. The property has 54 rooms, several event spaces, and a restaurant serving British cuisine.

The inn started as a coaching stop in the 13th century, serving travelers on the route between London and northwest England. Over the centuries, the building expanded and changed while keeping its role as a place where people stayed.

The place maintains traditional English hospitality with afternoon tea service and dishes made from local Oxfordshire ingredients.

The property sits within easy walking distance of Blenheim Palace and is centrally located in Woodstock town, making the area accessible on foot. It helps to plan ahead since it attracts both leisure visitors and groups for events.

Each room features different architectural elements from various centuries, showing how the building changed from the 1200s onward. This mix makes every space tell its own story about the building's past.
