My stay at the hotel was overall satisfying. The rooms were comfortable and modern, though the small bathroom was a bit inconvenient for me. The service was decent, but I encountered some issues with the staff lacking manager support. The location, right in the town centre, was convenient for exploring the area. The dining experience offered delightful desserts, but the use of chipped plates was noticeable. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, with room service available.

The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Burford, right on the main street, offering a characterful stay with a touch of dramatic charm in the rooms. The service was somewhat lacking, with a manager doubling-up as receptionist, but the hotel does boast a picturesque patio behind the pub. Dining experience had great quality ingredients but lacked certain traditional options. Overall, a unique stay with room for improvement.

The hotel is ideally located behind the pub with a little patio outside, offering charm and convenience. The rooms are comfortable but lack a separate private bathroom. The service is friendly, though there seems to be a disconnect with the management. The dining experience is delightful with fantastic ingredients, but the prices are slightly on the higher side. The location's ambiance and proximity to historic sites make up for any shortcomings, providing a superb stay right in the heart of the Cotswolds.
