When we arrived the wi-fi was not working, so we called the front desk as listed in their voluminous room instructions. The instructions mostly dealt with possible weakness of the signal which was not a problem, once it was started. The problem, however, was that the wi-fi signal remained "encrypted" for my entire 4 day stay, in spite of my... more

The Motel sits about 1/4 mile from the Woodstock Green, and is right on the river. So it's a great location. We had a riverview room on the first floor, which had a shared deck out the back door. The room itself was spacious (it was a handicapped room, so that may account for it's size) and furnished with dark... more

This was already our second stay at the Shire Motel and what we have to say is, it met our experience again with 100% ( maybe a little bit more). Basicly we planned to stay 3 nights, but upon arrival we asked whether we could stay one more night. Although the Motel was nearly booked up because of the weekend... more

I had a great stay at the Shire Riverview for their Wassail week-end. The rooms were really nice and the view out the back was gorgeous. I also found the staff to be very friendly. I would definitely go back -Woodstock is also a gorgeous town. more

Just returned from a very restful stay at the Shire Riverview in Woodstock over Thanksgiving weekend. My experience was excellent. I used TripAdvisor to locate the Shire and decided to stay there despite previous mixed ratings from other travelers. I am glad I chose to stay. Everything was great. We were treated very warmly by the staff during the entire... more

Shire Motel, Charged Twice for Room Sept 26, 2007 EAB, NJ The hotel charged my credit card twice for our one night stay and refused initially to give me a credit. They did call two hours later and said they'd found the mistake. This was after I'd spent a frustrating hour on the phone between the motel and my credit... more

The "charged twice" error was recognized the next day and corrected. The correction was already underway with the CC Company when this guest called us. The computerized swiping is not always perfect! We were very apoligitic and sorry for the inconvience of our guest.

Three teachers went for 1 night for a last minute before school fling. It was so-so, (one of the less expensive motels.) The Home Made bananna bread was great @ brkfast, & brkfast was fine. The room was only fair--Old & needing renovation soon...however, it was CLEAN! All in all, I would pay a little more, & be happier....some staff... more

Unfortunately, we only had one night's stay in Woodstock but were very happy with our accommodation at the Shire Riverview Motel. The rates were comparatively reasonable, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean and spacious and quiet. We booked directly on-line and the responses by email were helpful and prompt. We would stay there again. more

This is our fourth year of returning to the Shire as part of our week's vacation in Vermont. We have stayed anywhere from 2 to 4 nights on each trip. We keep returning to this wonderful place because of many things. It is a beautiful motel with lovely and comfortable rooms with unbelievable views of the rolling hills and the... more

We first learned about the Shire Motel from a travel book back in 1998. We had such a wonerful experience that we've been returning for about three times a year, every year since. We have never been dissapointed. In addition to the owners, who are warm, friendly, and helpful people, every single person on the staff we have encountered over... more
