Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a cozy stay with lovely views of Burford rooftops and gardens. The service is friendly and helpful, although a bit abrupt. The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds, and the dining experience includes homemade dishes. The facilities are modern and convenient, offering a great value for money overall.
The hotel is ideally situated for exploring the Cotswolds, nestled in beautiful gardens, offering a lovely area to relax. The rooms are adorned with a beautiful 4 poster bed, providing pretty views onto the garden and featuring the added touch of Molton Brown amenities. The service is mixed with a very helpful and friendly receptionist, contrasting a foreign waitress, and a young waiter who is professional and polite. The location is convenient, right in the centre just off the main street, making it a perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds. The dining experience includes enthusiastically served brown toast but could be more organized at times. Overall, a charming location with some delightful features but with areas needing a bit of improvement.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, nestled in beautiful gardens and just a minute away from the village with its charming pubs and shops. The rooms are cozy and offer pretty views of the garden, perfect for a relaxing reading session. The service was mixed with a foreign waitress being a bit loud, but a young waiter was incredibly professional and polite. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with enthusiastic service but some organizational issues. Overall, a great value for the money with lovely surroundings and a convenient location.
