“Winding your way along the Burford lanes, stumble across this 'chocolate box' property. Dating back to the 16th century it has traditional flagstone flooring, open fires and cosy rooms. The award winning restaurant serves lunch and dinner. A popular wedding venue and base to explore the Cotswolds. ”

Hotel review

If you like traditional style (think 'modern chintz') then you will love this property. The property itself is small, but perfectly formed and it is everything you would want from a Cotswold getaway. The Garden View Rooms, for their Juliet balcony and The Master Suite are our favourite rooms. The restaurant menu is impeccable and whilst there are many award winning eateries in the Cotswolds this one is a must try. The hotel staff go above and beyond so will be more than willing to help you out with any sightseeing queries you might have. The hotel also has plenty of parking so take your car and discover the beauty of the English countryside.
