1 night in Burford

My wife and I stayed for 1 night during our week off for our anniversary. Lovely staff, romantic 4 poster room in a 400 year old building that is kept very well. Everything very clean, small (cute) bar with a good selection of Hawkstone ale and cider. We shared a pizza which was really good, probably one of the best ive had actually and enjoyed drinks in the courtyard garden in the sun. Would definitely stay again!

A superbly quirky gem of a hotel!

A superbly quirky little gem of a hotel, set in a beautiful Harry Potter village. With its four poster bed and its amazingly wonky stairs and floors it was a really delightful stay. The room was gorgeous, the staff lovely and the bar and restaurant had a wide choice of food and drink. We had a great chat with the chef too. Loved it! Thank you fir a great time!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Situated right in the heart of Burford. Very convenient for shops but noisy and busy with traffic. The hotel has got character and charm. The house-keeping at the hotel let it down badly. It needs a good clean. Had to ask for bins to be emptied, bathrobes to be supplied, tea/coffee to be replenished more than once. Breakfast was good although a fish option would have been welcomed. Unfortunately we would not stay there again.

This old pub/hotel is right on the high street. Although it doesnt have onsight parking we parked across the street which is free, there is also a near by car park. Burford house has a resturant, which serves well presented tasty food. There is also plenty of other places to eat on the high street. Burford house house has plenty of character, our room had a beautiful four poster bed, lead windows overlooking the high street. Staff very friendly and helpful. Burford is well worth a visit.

I cannot recommend this venue. When we got to our room, which looks amazing, we were very disappointed to find that the hot water didn't work (this seemed to be a known issue). The bed was also incredibly uncomfortable, so much that my wife ended up sleeping on the floor. The staff were pleasant and did offer to let us use the shower in another room but it was a pain to do so. The hotel itself offers so much potential but I would look elsewhere

One night in Burford

We had a lovely stay. Friendly welcome and check in. Great character room with comfy four poster bed. Huge bath to soak in as well as separate shower. Excellent breakfast. The only reservation we had was street parking. As soon the shops closed it was easy to park in front of pub. Free parking until 10.30am not an issue. Definitely stay again. Thank you

Fabulous Boutique Hotel in Burford

I booked a wo night stay at Burford House Hotel with my daughter as we wanted to visit the Cotswolds Safari & Wildlife Park which was just a short drive away from the hotel. Our stay was fabulous, the staff were so accommodating and friendly, a big thank you to Rhea for being so efficient and such a star member of the Burford House team. Our room was extremely spacious, large bathroom with shower and bath. The beds were super comfy and at night is was so quiet, a really restful two nights sleep. The room however didn't have much ventilation, couldn't work out how to open the window to get some fresh air, but it made no difference to our overall experience. The hotel lobby and restaurant has great decor, and the food was so good. A really lovely boutique hotel, one of he best in Burford. Highly recommend.

Charming stay in The Cotswolds

Such a wonderful inn! The town of Burford is a great home base for visiting The Cotswolds. There are coffee shops, bakeries, local stores, antiques, a cute candy shop, a beautiful church and the hotel is a few minutes walk to all of that. The hospitality of the staff was outstanding. The stay comes with breakfast that was delicious and they also serve lunch, dinner, and drinks on the first floor in the restaurant. We stayed down there till 11 pm each night chatting and playing cards like the locals.

Friendly small hotel with proper quirky rooms. Bar and restaurant offering good selection of beers including Clarksons Hawkstone lager (Really very good). Pretty courtyard at the back - very quiet away from the bustle of Burford High Street. Noise from the road can intrude at night but we still managed a decent nights sleep in a comfortable bed. All in all a nice hotel in a great spot…would recommend.

It was in a very central position convenient for wandering around the area. Cosy lobby and eating area. Staff friendly and helpful. No parking at hotel but found free space up side road. Small negatives - floorboard needed fixing under carpet in bedroom, small stain on bedspread, small area of curtain needed hooking up. Would recommend for comfortable stay.

In what world is this a 5* hotel? 3* hotel at best

Ok, where to start, at £160 a night, we were expecting a 5 star hotel. Staff were friendly, room was cute but soft furnishings and curtains were worn and tired. Bathroom was a bit grim, couple of thick black hairs floating around the place, shower lacking in power and thick with mildew and limescale, shower door hanging off. No phone for reception, no fridge and no general luxuries you’d expect from a 5 star. Hotel not manned at night. Breakfast sausages basic at best, continental part of breakfast basic but fine, no milk alternative but nice man on duty awkwardly offered to “pop to the shop” Day 2, room barely cleaned, bed not made, had to ask for shower gel and a new bath mat. Fruit bowl at breakfast was the same fruit bowl my wife had already picked strawberries and blueberries out of the day before (she’s not keen on melon). We’re trying not to be too disheartened by the hotel, it just feels a bit ridiculous at this point. We would have brought all of this up to staff but it’s a small hotel with the same staff daily and we have to stay another day yet, upsetting staff at this stage didn’t seem the one. Day 3 better room clean today but still not the best, breakfast, unbelievably, was presented with fruit bowl on day 3, remaining strawberries already showing mould. By this point we’ve had enough, we leave as quickly as possible, grossed out by the fruit bowl, we made a complaint to hotels dot com but the hotel were unwilling to make a partial refund, hence review

We arrived and there were old dirty towels still in bathroom ( in a bin) , had to ask for soap, ( little squirt bottles) gave us one. Carpets were filthy throughout property. Upholstery was dirty. No bed made second morning. Traffic was very loud. This did not meet the expectations of a premium room. Plug for bath had a broken chain, very hard to pull up. Got a key ring from front desk to make it easier. I mean, this is not premium by any stretch. Very disapointing. Plenty other choices, that would be my choice next time. Positives, breakfast was outstanding. Could be so much better

Nice hotel

We had already been advised of parking, not to park on the same side of the road as the hotel. We were lucky to find free parking up the road. Reception staff lovely, showed us to our room. Room was spacious with big bathroom. We struggled to find sockets for kettle & charging. When we asked later we were told it was behind the armchair! We had dinner in the garden, lovely area, hot & tasty food. The bar area is great, lots of interesting decoration! We asked for a fan for the room as it was hot and with it being an old building there is no air-con and we were given a new fan which helped greatly. Breakfast was great, fruit salad good and cereal selection as expected. Good selection of cooked offerings. Well cooked and tasty. Points to improve would be better layout in room to allow access to sockets but overall a lovely place to stay.

We stayed for two nights in a premium room. It was a lovely room, clean and spacious. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, with a choice of cereals, croissants, fruit juices, yoghurt, and various cooked options. We didnt have dinner in the pub downstairs but the food looked very nice. Location was in the main high street, with everything you'd need as you step outside. Lots of boutique shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. The Farmers Dog is an 8 minute drive away. Would definitely recommend Burford House
