Picturesque Woodstock is home to one of England’s oldest and prettiest hotels. Built as a coaching inn in the 13th century, the Bear has played host to royalty, film stars and politicians. The Bear is a favourite haunt for romantic couples, especially since it became a hideaway for Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor at the height of their love affair. With its ivy clad facade, oak beams, open fireplaces and stone walls, it exudes warmth and cosiness, perfect if you want to escape from it all and treat yourself to some good old-fashioned hospitality.
