A 17th century landmark on Burford's famous High Street, it is now, if you believe what you read and hear, one of the most highly regarded small hotels in the lovely Cotswolds, one of Britain's most outstandingly beautiful areas.
We are helped by a small team of enthusiastic and caring local staff most of whom have been with us for quite a while and between us we aim to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, really good bedrooms and bathrooms award winning full English breakfasts, light lunches and afternoon teas. Our Centre Stage restaurant also serves dinners on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
We are delighted and privileged that so many guests return and our greatest pleasures are welcoming back familiar faces and meeting new guests who have been recommended by their friends.
There are just eight bedrooms, all decorated individually with carefully chosen traditional Farrow & Ball paints. Some have queen or king size beds, some overlook the garden and some the evocative high street but all have antique furniture, pictures and porcelain, great beds with pure wool blankets, the best pillows and fine linen, gleaming bathrooms with huge tubs and power showers, up to date magazines and readable books, lots of thoughtful extras not often found in hotels, satellite television and wireless broadband internet access in all rooms.
Luxury and comfort is of course not confined to the bedrooms, downstairs guests will find two intimate sitting rooms. There is a log burner in one, whilst the garden room is bright and has doors out to the courtyard garden.
