Parking is free on the road outside the hotel, the hotel is in the High Street so all shops are very close. Stairs to the rooms are a little steep but not excessive, this is an old hotel be expect creaky floor's.

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

Great hotel/pub in the Cotswolds

We had really great visit to the Cotswolds and chose Burford House as our base, which was the perfect choice. The team were warm and welcoming, the room was impressive and clean, the food was excellent (we had two evening meals there as well as breakfast every day, all really good), and both the bar and the courtyard were great places to relax after a day of sightseeing. All in all, a great place to stay.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

My check in experience was utterly terrible. The staff person was rude, abrupt and unhelpful. I had requested a king in the reservation and followed it up with an email directly to the hotel. The staff person said it was a king when I checked in (which was heard by the person beside me.). It wasn't. When I went to room, I found it wasn't a king. I went back down, and the staff told me that she never said it was a king and that I was lying. She then told me there was nothing she could do.

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.

I read some of the other reviews. But we have to remember that this hotel is over 300 years old! There’s the odd bits and bobs as you’d expect and to be fair hope for because of its age and character of this building. It’s a lovely place with great staff. The question of would I recommend it.

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 visited for our anniversary weekend and did enjoy the original features of the property and the location as there are a lot of cafes, pubs and shops close by. However, the room was tired and needed a bit of TLC. The shower had black mould on both heads and luckily there was a bath however the plug didn’t have a chain which meant I needed to prise it open after use. One window was mouldy and the latch was broken so it didn’t close completely. Although our bed was made after our first night, the toilet paper wasn’t refilled and the bath wasn’t cleaned down so my partner couldn’t enjoy a bath that evening. Overall I wouldn’t recommend especially for a special occasion. I also wouldn’t give it a 5* rating. Quite disappointing.

Great food and service in the resturant but...the mattress was unfit for purpose, it was so uncomfortable that we didnt sleep much at all and the cleanliness was awful. The hotel needs a lot of attention and updating considering its in Burford high street. The window wouldnt close, all needs repairing, the heating was up too high, the shower needs regrouting, the towels had holes and were ripped. The only good think were the clean bedsheets.
We wont be returning due to this!!
Not worth the money even for one nights stay!!

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.

Room was spacious with antique decor. Only issue was shower head in the bathroom wasn’t working properly but it didn’t bother as there was bath tub as well. Bed was big and comfortable.

TV screen was bigger than more big name hotels and was Smart TV and I used my own login details to use various apps.

Parking is on the street. Right outside 2 hours free parking available but after 6 it’s free. If you need to park during the day there are some free parking space further down opposite to post office.

Beautiful location, stayed for a friends wedding nearby so the location was ideal.

Quite expensive at £165 per night, including breakfast. The room itself was relatively comfortable although there was no blind or shutter on one window which meant waking up with the sunrise which was not ideal. The cleanliness could have been improved and a few repairs were necessary, plug in bath and sink had broken chains and mould on the ceiling surrounding the shower.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious, staff were very accommodating and friendly and the overall look and comfort of Burford House is very charming and lovely.
