No hot water from shower. Moved rooms on day 2 and still didn't have any hot water in shower.

Top quality restaurant, welcoming staff, good sized & well decorated rooms
Unfortunately for us, a family were staying in the room next door who had 2 very noisy kids + the parents decided to give them a bath at 6:30 am on a Sunday! The parti walls must be thin

Immaculate friendly staff spacious room stunning food great value
Nothing really, it’s beautiful. The only thing and that’s scraping the barrel is that I didn’t like the soap provided but that’s personal preference and I didn’t think the art in the room matched the decor of the place

Lovely room, great staff and a very relaxed atmosphere making for a great break food was superb and for once we were spoiled for menu choices
Breakfast coffee pots are an issue (if you know you know) and on the last night of three we had to ask to move table as we had been pushed to one in the bar it was busy due to Christmas period- but all sorted no issues

The location was beautiful and the Inn was furnished to a high standard with a quirky nod to the inns name.
The accommodation annex was well maintained and furnished to a good standard.
Our accommodation was on the first floor accessed by an external staircase which due to adverse weather conditions became icy overnight and extremely treacherous to negotiate.

Very dog friendly..pub was lovely and staff couldn’t do enough for you they were fantastic.
Although the heating was on full when we arrived but it did drop cool at night..a throw or blanket to put on the bed would have been good.

The hotel was nice . Although the location is such that you need to have your own car . The staff were very friendly and adjusting. For meals like dinner, we had to book in the advance in the morning as the kitchen would be busy . Room was really nice and big .... beautiful rooms ....
Maybe if the restaurant could have more vegan options and can not have restriction of booking a table in advance as guest dnt have another option for eating as all other restaurants are about 15mins drive in whitney.

The staff were extremely friendly throughout our stay and advised on parking in Woodstock during the very busy Blenheim Xmas Market. The room was large and comfortable and the food was really tasty. We would love to come back one day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay so have nothing to suggest for improvements.

Breakfast was good. The evening meals were fantastic on both nights - simple but well cooked. The room was comfortable - 2 chairs would be better but that’s the only criticism. The staff are lovely.

Comfortable large room with all the amenities needed. Nicely furnished and decorated. There is a large choice of Breakfast options. All perfectly cooked and presented.
We booked for Dinner on the first night and enjoyed it so much we re-booked for our second night. Exceptional quality, perfectly cooked and a varied menu to chose from.
Service was superb.

Gorgeous property, we loved the real fires and the lovely atmosphere. The staff were helpful, our room was a good size and bed comfy, lots of hot water. The food was excellent. We stayed for a weekend in November and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend the Inn.

The staff were polite and efficient, and the food was fairly priced and of a good standard
The stairs are outside, on a frosty morning they could be slippy, plus they have holes on them which means wearing high heels are very dangerous. Added to that, we had two dogs who could easily have got a paw stuck in the slats when using the stairs. We had to pick the dogs up in order to get them up and down.

The Bird in Hand is beautiful. Stayed just for one night to visit nearby Blenheim Palace - the food is exceptional, staff are some of the friendliest I've encountered, and it's well located for the sights.
The only tiny thing, and it's small, is that I'd have liked the option of a mattress topper as the bed was a bit too firm for me. But otherwise really comfortable.

Lovely, friendly and very helpful staff. Put themselves out for us (re dinner) when we arrived late.
Nice food - huge portions.
Cosy venue with a large open fire.
Given the price per night, I would have expected more in the way of toiletries provided (one small tube of shower gel and one of shampoo) or other little luxuries (eg local biscuits)

The breakfast was excellent. We tried different options each day and all were equally good. The location was beautiful but it was a little more remote than I anticipated. We enjoyed a really excellent evening meal. Everything was delicious. The staff gave good service with a smile. The log fires completed the atmosphere and we felt thoroughly spoilt from start to finish.
We found the tap gave very hot water that I thought could be a problem for children but there was nothing we didn't like.
