We booked at the Punchbowl Inn with some trepidation after reading the reviews but were very pleasantly surprised. The room was very clean and spacious and the breakfast was tasty and generous. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The beds were a little "creaky" but comfortable. This is not a Top of the Range Hotel but nowhere... More

This "Inn" does not belong in Woodstock, it is shabby and attracts the wrong crowd. The whole place is run down, badly managed and unhygenic. I had to move rooms after the first night and went from a reasonable room to a very horrible basement room. There are fixtures missing or damaged that have not been replaced and in my... More

Recently stayed at the Punch Bowl Inn and on arrival there was a problem despite us booking in December the previous year for a stay in July and several phone conversations and a letter from our organiser.

The bus stop for Oxford was just a few yards down the road from the pub and took just 30 mins. The pub had a friendly atmosphere and ideal for a nice relaxing... More

The facilities were fine for pub accomodation. The family room is over the bar but we couldn't hear any noise from there. The front window was a single... More

The room was clean but basic. It is well situated for a night or two but wouldnt want to stay longer. We were woken during the night by very noisy plumbing in adjacent room. Pointed it out to the manager so perhaps it has been fixed?

This is a pub for locals with sky sports, snooker table etc. The web site hinted a nice dining area with varied menu, in reality there were a few tables in the main bar, no sight of a menu or promotion of any food. After the pub closed, noise from the outside seating area went on until well after midnight... More
