The Macdonald Bear Hotel
 Woodstock

Nearby Attractions

The Bear Hotel in Woodstock is surrounded by beautiful Oxfordshire countryside but remains close to several towns. As a result the hotel is conveniently located for a selection of days out and in most cases a little retail therapy. Most obviously, the hotel is within walking distance of Blenheim Palace. The formidable stately home of the Marlboroughs and birthplace of Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace offers guided tours and special events illustrating the history of the estate (entrance fee applies).  Woodstock itself is a pretty, old-fashioned village with an appealing array of shops, restaurants and welcoming pubs.

Moving further afield, The Macdonald Bear Hotel is within easy driving distance of Oxford and its associated literary and scholastic heritage. In the opposite direction lies Stratford upon Avon , birthplace of William Shakespeare and charming Tudor-influenced town. Slightly further along is the equally historic town of Warwick, home of Warwick Castle. The hotel is also located roughly an hour drive from the appealing Regency town of Cheltenham and the famous horseracing ground of Cheltenham Racecourse.

Woodstock and The Bear Hotel are also located on the fringes of the Cotswolds, which aside from a being a beautiful part of the English countryside offer such family attractions as Cotswold Wildlife Park and Cogges Manor Farm Museum.
