About us

STEP back in time to what was once a 13th century coaching inn, now brought right up to date with 4-star comforts and modern technology. Macdonald Bear Hotel is one of the finest 4-star hotels in Oxfordshire. Set in Woodstock, it’s a combination of history, character and culture, with superb facilities and links that make the city of Oxford easily accessible. Around 15 minutes from Oxford station, it’s just 10 mins from Oxford London Airport and an hour from Heathrow. OUR FACILITIES In the heart of Oxfordshire yet within striking distance for Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and Bicester, 4 Star Macdonald Bear Hotel combines historic charm with modern facilities. With its ivy façade, oak beams, open fireplaces and stone walls, it exudes warmth and cosiness, and was once a favourite of Hollywood stars Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Extensively refurbished throughout, the hotel has a conference centre complete with state-of-the-art facilities. A relaxing and comfortable retreat from the office, there are 6 stunning function rooms to choose from offering a range of options to suit your needs. Suites offer excellent business and communication facilities – including free and unlimited Wifi with 100 MBps bandwidth available – and are bathed in natural light, offering inspiring views across the surrounding market square. Rooms are packed with character, from the rustic wooden ceiling beams of the Cotswold Suite – an ideal space for your boardroom gathering – to the elegant Park Room with its high ceilings and lavish drapes. For smaller gatherings, the Machine Room and Cutting Room are packed with modern features yet retain a sense of historic style and character. When it’s time to relax, our award-winning AA Rosette restaurant serves classic, contemporary British cuisine, while our lounge is a perfect spot for some relax business negotiations or networking. There’s a wide range of options for a corporate away day or team building event, from trout fishing on Bladon Lake to crossbow archery, falconry and ghost tours. Our 54 bedrooms are elegantly styled and reflect the historic nature of the building but with space to relax, catch up with work or unwind watching a film. OUR PLEDGE SAFE & SOUND Our in-house teams and world-class partners have been working flat-out to set new standards of hygiene and safety for all our returning guests.
