Upon entering the hotel, the lobby is gorgeous with 2 fireplaces. Staff was super friendly and the free breakfast was a bonus. The room was spotless and has a fireplace in the room. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely go back.

Great location, walking distance to downtown Woodstock and there’s a grocery store across the street. Parking was easy and we loved the fire pits in the back at night. Room was spacious but felt a bit dated and dirty. Other than that it was great for a fall weekend in Woodstock.

This property does not look like the pictures online. It was clean and had a great location, but past that, it was just an older motel that had been painted and cleaned up. There was no real lobby or check-in desk. They offered coffee in the morning, but it was broken the day we stayed. The view on the back side was pretty, but I really felt like we were in a 2 star motel. No extra amenities, and the furniture looked like it was all from a thrift store; worn out and needed updating. I was hoping for the cost to find it as beautiful as it is in the photos online. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. Note, the hotel room door opens to the outside. There was no interior hallway to our room. This made it feel a little unsafe for two women traveling alone.

We only stayed 1 night but it was clean and comfortable. There isn't always someone at the front desk but that wasn't a concern for us. The proximity to the historic area - an easy walk - was also wonderful.

The Shire is close to all the shops downtown, and even has a market across the street. There’s a view slot a small river as well. Staff was very friendly. Negatives were a bathroom door that was very difficult to close properly, only half a roll of TP with no extras in the room, no tissues, etc… Very bare bones.

Our room was terrible. They said we were on the first floor but had to go down many steps arounds the back. The room was not comfortable. The bathroom door would not close and needed updating. My family's room was much nicer and more comfortable. The price was over $500 nightly. Not worth it
