The Shire Woodstock

We have been return customers here every time we come to Woodstock for our vacation over the years and have recommended it to friends. The river views from the rooms and the rocking chairs and tables by each door make everything very welcoming. The rooms are clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. Love being able to hear the river water softly bubbling over the rocks as you view the scenery from your window. Very relaxing. Also the stores and cafes are all within walking distance.

Wonderful place! Carpet needs replacing but very clean overall. Sitting by the brook is very relaxing and the view brings back childhood memories of our farm in Woodstock.

Mattress is way to hard, noisey air conditioner... Good luck falling asleep. No kidding, I'm writing this review in my hotel bed now at 1:30 AM!

Great place. Great view, and best mattress, and pillows I ever slept on

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, roomy, had a gas fireplace, and a shared balcony with a view of the river. The bed and pillows were comfortable (similar to most other hotels I've stayed at). The bathroom was pretty standard, and the water pressure and temperature in the shower was good. My only complaint is with the climate control in the room. There is a thermostat on the wall, and hot water baseboard heating in the room. At night, we like it cool, so we turned the thermostat down, and the room stayed at close to 80 degrees! It was so hot, we ended up opening a window all night... in Vermont... in February! I couldn't tell if there was some other heating system other than the baseboards, or if it was just an ultra-insulated place, or maybe the people on the first floor just had their heat cranked way up, but something was amiss to say the least. The only other thing to know is that the room has limited electrical outlets. If you stay with another person, and each of you has a phone to charge, and a smart watch to charge, and perhaps a laptop or Kindle, you may have a hard time unless you also bring a power strip too. Despite that, I still think the 4 star rating is appropriate. It was definitely cheaper to stay there vs the other inns and B&B's in town. Also, it was a very easy walk into the beautiful down town area where there are a plethora of shops and restaurants, not to mention the very pretty scenery.
