A beautiful location and welcoming Inn

We had a lovely visit at the Shire Woodstock. The room was lovely, comfortable, and in a great location! We enjoyed breakfast at Oakes and Evelyn the restaurant at their sister Inn, The Jackson. It was amazing. We can't wait to return to the Shire and to Woodstock
