When we arrived the wi-fi was not working, so we called the front desk as listed in their voluminous room instructions. The instructions mostly dealt with possible weakness of the signal which was not a problem, once it was started. The problem, however, was that the wi-fi signal remained "encrypted" for my entire 4 day stay, in spite of my... more

The Motel sits about 1/4 mile from the Woodstock Green, and is right on the river. So it's a great location. We had a riverview room on the first floor, which had a shared deck out the back door. The room itself was spacious (it was a handicapped room, so that may account for it's size) and furnished with dark... more

This was already our second stay at the Shire Motel and what we have to say is, it met our experience again with 100% ( maybe a little bit more). Basicly we planned to stay 3 nights, but upon arrival we asked whether we could stay one more night. Although the Motel was nearly booked up because of the weekend... more

I had a great stay at the Shire Riverview for their Wassail week-end. The rooms were really nice and the view out the back was gorgeous. I also found the staff to be very friendly. I would definitely go back -Woodstock is also a gorgeous town. more

We were treated very warmly by the staff during the entire... more

Three teachers went for 1 night for a last minute before school fling. It was so-so, (one of the less expensive motels.) The Home Made bananna bread was great @ brkfast, & brkfast was fine. The room was only fair--Old & needing renovation soon...however, it was CLEAN! All in all, I would pay a little more, & be happier....some staff... more

Unfortunately, we only had one night's stay in Woodstock but were very happy with our accommodation at the Shire Riverview Motel. The rates were comparatively reasonable, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean and spacious and quiet. We booked directly on-line and the responses by email were helpful and prompt. We would stay there again. more

This is our fourth year of returning to the Shire as part of our week's vacation in Vermont. We have stayed anywhere from 2 to 4 nights on each trip. We keep returning to this wonderful place because of many things. It is a beautiful motel with lovely and comfortable rooms with unbelievable views of the rolling hills and the... more
