The Punchbowl Inn

Terrible Hotel & Restaurant Food, service, staff horrific I would not recommend Complained to the owner Tony by e mail and had a reply of ‘thanks for your comments’ Unbelievable DO NOT VISIT Terrible Hotel and Restaurant which is such a shame as location is perfect

I came here with my parents and little sister for her birthday. Waited an hour for our food. The rest of my family are vegans. My stepdad asked for a pizza with vegan cheeze, and my little sister asked for the vegan burger. After an hour, our meals turned up. The cheese on my stepdad’s pizza wasn’t vegan. My little sister’s “vegan” burger had a slab of halloumi in it. We left, and had a decent meal elsewhere, with speedy service.

Had a lovely meal at The Punchbowl. Meals were well cooked, well presented and delicious. Generous portions. The choice of meals and drinks is very good. Staff were very friendly and isn’t rush us as all, even though they were closing by the time we left. Would definitely revisit and recommend.

Delightful little hotel to stay at. I can't fault this lovely hotel or the family who own it as they were just lovely. Our room was sparkling clean, incredibly comfortable and very peaceful. The family and staff were very happy to help if needed and were extremely pleasant and sweet. The food both for dinner and breakfast was delicious and perfectly cooked and presented. We would recommend anyone looking to stay in Woodstock to stay here, we certainly will stay at The Punchbowl again.

I noticed the Punchbowl had two pages so I have copied my review, I didn’t want it to be missed. We stayed at the Punchbowl for a quick getaway after a few hard weeks at work and we loved it. The rooms were comfortable, stylish and clearly well maintained by the owners who could not have been more welcoming. We also ate in the restaurant and had a couple of drinks in the bar too, great selection of drinks and food and the food was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble throughout our whole stay and I know I am not fussy food wise so I am so grateful to all of the team. Will definitely visit again and highly recommended.

Spotlessly clean rooms in heart of Woodstock. Easy bus ride to Oxford city centre and walking distance to Blenheim Palace. Staff friendly and quick to rectify any issues raised. Food was great too. Comfortable and relaxing break within easy reach of all amenities.

Three old school friends stayed in the big room at the front which was perfect for all of us to be together. The room was beautifully decorated with a spacious walk-in shower. The room had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the location was convenient for everything. Staff were all friendly.

Room was lovely, cozy and very clean with plenty of coffee & tea. 10 o’clock check out is a bit too early 😅

The Punchbowl is our absolute favourite place to stay and to enjoy the perfect food that is always produced there. The whole experience is always perfection when we stay. The meals are always seasoned and well presented with good portion sizes. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and friendly. Customers who state there is no atmosphere must have had their eyes shut and hands on their ears not to notice, as this is totally untrue! Our room was absolutely spotless, I told the lady who cleans the rooms how very good she was, as at times we take people in the background for granted. As stated on the receipt all the tips go to staff in the kitchen, bar, waiting and housekeeping, not the bosses. This is most kind and thoughtful of the bosses as in the hospitality business this is very often not the case where tips are involved. Caroline & Les Please try for yourself it’s the only way
