About The Marlborough Arms

This restored 15th-century coaching inn fronts on to the town’s historic streets. The Marlborough Arms is also less than a mile from Blenheim Palace, the much-visited birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Furnished in a traditional and comfortable style, rooms are mainly en suite. They include a flat-screen TV, tea, coffee, and ironing facilities; also a hairdryer. Wi-Fi is free throughout the building and free private parking is available. There are a number of rooms that are available for social events and business meetings. Breakfast choices are served daily. Locally based lunch and dinner restaurants include the deli at Hampers Food and Wine Company, Daba Indian Cuisine, and The King’s Arms. All are within 50 yards or so of The Marlborough Arms. Oxford is approximately eight miles away and was described by Matthew Arnold as being the city of dreaming spires. In the opposite direction, a similar length journey takes visitors to the beginning of the famous Cotswolds villages and countryside.
