    Being an old building the windows didn't shut properly so it was quite noisy from outside in the.morning.

    Would recommend the breakfast. It was wonderful and set us up for the day. Plenty to choose from. Would also recommend booking a table at the restaurant in the evening. Food was amazing!

    Plastic cartons of milk in the room 🤦‍♀️must go! Please offer guests a small jug of fresh milk on arrival. My bedroom was warmly decorated with designer wallpaper an thick linen curtains-sumptuous bed Small ensuite fine for me but if you like more space in your shower ask for a different room. You offer the finest choice of Coffees/Teas & delicious chocolates/biscuits. Very appreciated. Shame about the plastic mini milks.

    Beautifully decorated for Christmas, a welcome open lit fire to come down to in the morning. Elegant refined Character English hotel well furnished with antiques & arts. Easy walk to shops. Helpful polite smiling staff & a really nice touch to receive a Welcome letter offering help/directions with parking/help with bags if needed. Breakfast was just a treat so nicely presented Excellent menu/attentive staff and stunning dining room with swags of Christmas greenery & warm white gentle fairy lights. Thank you!

    The bathroom ceiling had some water damage, as well as the wooden skirting boards. The bed was a bid too hard for my liking. But nothing very noteworthy.

    The atmosphere was really great. The common room with the fireplace was lovely and everything was very cozy. The breakfast was very good as well. The staff is very helpful all day long.

    Bar and Supper there. For Supper we had Kids menu comfort food!, The Bar menu was too much like restaurant food. after discussion with very nice staff lady she came back with Kids menu. 2 other hotel guests came by whilst we were eating and commented on our food choice and asked how we had got our fish and chips and a burger !!! After driving some of us do not always want a formal dinner in restaurant.

    We found a parking place immediately, but it could be a problem. The Fire doors are tricky to negotiate when you have luggage.

    The historic building was interesting.The location was perfect for our needs. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent..

    We couldn't get the shower to work in our room. The coffee machine was leaking water. The service at breakfast was very slow, appeared to serve one table at a time.

    The choices of coffee and tea was excellent, probably the best we've ever had. The bed was extremely comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very good and good choice of wine. Very accessible for the shops and restaurants on Burford high street.

    Because it’s an old building, the corridors wind about and change levels, but that is part of the charm.

    Lovely old building, full of character, off the high street so quiet at night. Excellent breakfast and the restaurant was also very good restaurant for dinner.

    The only thing we missed was more people in the restaurant for dinner- something you can't control.

    Lovely historic building with lots of interesting nooks. Plenty of places to sit if you want to relax and chill. Good bedroom. Lovely food.
