Several small fixes were due. The balcony overlooking the river was great.
Woodstock is a magical place! We love staying at the Shire! They really make it feel like home! So cozy! The staff is very friendly and accommodating! We will always stay at the Shire!

Liked: Staff & service
First room we checked into was not cleaned but staff was quick to get us a new room. New room had a great view of the river and was clean enough. We only had about half a roll of toilet paper in the family room and no spares. Also no phone in the room to call the office. A good place to lay your head but not much more.
Room was clean, a little tired
Great view of river and Billings Farm

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We stayed during January. The room was drafty - as a result the heat needed to be increased so high it was uncomfortable and dry. There was only one thin blanket on each bed and only one light extra blanket though there were two beds. The room had a funny smell and there were many dead bugs in the light fixtures. In the winter, the nice outdoor areas aren’t usable and there was no common area. Room was spartan. Despite the snow, there was no mat or shoe rack in the room and so it was impossible not to drag in salt and mud on boots. People with mobility limitations would have trouble walking down the outdoor stairs to the room in the winter. Would expect more from a 3 star hotel. Probably better for a summer stay.
After reading reviews I was pleasantly surprised of the high quality of our room. We had a premium king room in the river house. Was large and bathroom was also large with a jacuzzi tub, shared balcony overlooking the river. Walking distance to town, shops and restaurants. Only stayed one night for a wedding in town but overall had a very good experience!
