The Duke of Marlborough was in the perfect location for visiting Blenheim Palace, Oxford and the surrounding Cotswold villages. Our twin room was warm and cosy and generally clean, with only a few cobwebs but nothing to offend! Beds were comfy. The room and bathroom had everything you need, hairdryer, iron and ironing board in cupboard and a fan, not that we needed it in February! The pub, adjacent to the rooms was friendly and welcoming with a sitting area near a wood burner and plenty of tables. Food and drinks were excellent and the breakfast options were great. We ate there two out of our three nights, the fish and chips was top quality! Highly recommend and we would go back if we were looking for something in this area again.
