We stayed here with friends visiting from America. Their teenager just loved it!
It's a beautiful cottage in a lovely lively, village. Was just as described. The beds and pillows were SO COMFY! Best beds I've stayed in so far.
Perfect Stay.
We had a lovely stay at this cottage. It is old and full of character yet fully equipped for a modern holiday. The location in the High Street was ideal. Parking was easy. My only gripe was the 6pm check-in time.
We loved this snug and unique cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. I only wish the weather had been warm enough that we could have had some meals in the sweet courtyard. The owners have considered every detail and there were thoughtful touches throughout. Including wood in the stove ready to be lit for a cozy fire when we arrived. We had a problem with the heat, and someone was there to fix it within 30 minutes of our phoning to report it. Thank you! Burford is all that we were hoping for. Just the right size to walk and explore, with cute shops of all sorts and some nice restaurants. It was a lovely and memorable stay.
