Miss Waite February 2020

“Although surface clean, the property hadn't been thoughly cleaned judging by the cobwebs & dust around light fittings & in less immediately visible places, for example noticible when plugging in the dvd player, and on the kitchen window sill.”

This made is feel uncomfortable and reluctant to use the kitchen, especially the oven, in the way we planned. The shower had seen better days and was not working properly, and the tiles were stained, all needed replacing. There were only three seats in the sitting room which is inadequate when the property is supposed to be for four people. Generally the overall feeling was that the property needs a complete refurb, and deep clean.

- Miss Waite, February 2020

Thank you for your comments, we are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay as much as our previous guests, we would have liked the opportunity to address the problems you mentioned but unfortunately we weren't contacted. There is ample comfortable seating downstairs which we feel provides a cosy atmosphere. Sykes owner relations

“Lovely cosy cottage full of character near to Burford High Street.”

Mrs Liston December 2019

“The cottage was perfect for our needs as a family with grown up daughters.”

The bedroom and sitting room at the top of the house was great for them to chill out and watch their own TV. The stairs are steep and uneven and would not be suitable for anyone at all unsteady on their feet. The kitchen was so well equipped, better than ours at home! We cooked Christmas dinner easily and the turkey foil and roasting trays were so appreciated. The Christmas tree was a thoughtful touch too. The cottage is a little remote, no shop or pub in walking distance, but we knew that and had no problems getting a supermarket delivery. It’s a beautiful, quiet spot and there were more horses than cars going past. We enjoyed a beautiful candlelit carol service in the little church. The owners were so helpful. We had a few issues, nothing the fault of the cottage, and they were so kind and helpful always available by text or phone. We would thoroughly recommend the cottage and we had a lovely Christmas there. Thank you!

“We booked at the very last minute and everything was handled impeccably The booking onlie was very simple and easy to use.”

Once booked we received emails confirming the booking and also instructions for when we arrived at the cottage. We also received an email from the owners with further details which we really appreciated. The cottage was excellent, with all the ameneties you would need. It is located only five minutes from Burford whch has shops, coffee shops and pubs We also had a great day out at the Cotswold Wildlife Park - which is only two minutes away from the cottage Very enjoyable on all accounts

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.
