The property
White Hart House is an historic Grade II listed holiday house set in the heart of the Burford.
Very much an indulgent holiday home with contemporary decor, spacious living spaces and a fabulous kitchen this is an ideal home to get-together and all within a stone's throw of the centre of Burford.
Formerly a Coaching Inn, this hidden gem sits on a small lane with cafes, pubs and shops in one direction, with the beautiful Windrush Valley in the other - it offers a total Cotswolds experience.
Internally, the house is charming and beautiful and with accommodation spread across four floors it is lavished with space!
The bedrooms upstairs are similarly roomy and with great views.
Original flagstone floors, wonky beams and large open fire places mixed with modern flair make this an exceptional home.
The huge 'kitchen diner' is the real heart of the home and we loved it!
Heavenly!
If you want to be in the Cotswolds most recognisable location and in one of the finest large holiday cottages, then this is the choice for you.

About the location
Burford
Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.
The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!
With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.
