Burford House BH

Yesterday I had the pleasure of having afternoon tea at Burford House Hotel. It was a treat for a friend’s birthday and we had to book in advance. What an amazing experience! The table was beautifully laid with a white clothe, a posy of flowers and exquisite china. The scones and cake were to die for as were the strawberries dipped in chocolate. We were served by Mandy who went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Where this Hotel beats the rest is that the staff are really friendly, yet professional, nothing is too much trouble, and the atmosphere is like having tea with the family you are made so welcome, yet left alone to enjoy your experience. Katie and Andy have done an exceptional job and I would not hesitate to recommend to all my friends. Pearl

Main bar and dining area lovely and interestingly decorated, patio beautifully planted and a pleasure to sit outside. Unfortunately the staircase landing area was a bit of a mess and carpet needed cleaning, very dirty. Bedroom furniture looked shabby and marked. Bathroom very basic with rust on bottom of shower and black mouldy marks around tray. Bed was very comfortable. Curtains a bit dusty and didn’t like to pull them closed as they felt unstable. Staff on the other hand were lovely and helpful and had a lovely time sitting on the bar having a drink. Breakfast next morning was absolutely stupendous!!! Fantastic produce, best sausages I’ve ever tasted, black pudding, lovely thick rashers of quality bacon etc, beautifully presented, best breakfast I’ve had for many years worth coming here just for that !!! Manager lovely and attentive. All they need to do is give upstairs a little TLC and it would give anywhere in Burford a serious run for its money. Will definitely be back.

Mattress full of holes, dirty, stained, double bed consisted of 2 singles put together one was higher than the other. No one has called me back to discuss this. Spoke to the girl at reception who was lovely but I’m yet to hear anything and I’ve tried to call to speak to a manger and no luck at all? The place is rather dirty it’s a nice area but I’d avoid this place.

Friendly helpful staff. Great food. Parking nearby limited. Make sure you view the room allocated before you carry your cases up. If it's called Taynton, ask for a different room, particularly after viewing the fire escape in it carefully! And the staircase up to that room. I would definitely recommend this B&B but not that particular room. And in fact think, due to the very dubious fire escape in it, that it should cease to be let out! But the other rooms should be absolutely fine and the food is worth the visit.

Great hotel, friendly staff, Gorgeous food and good prices. We have stayed in many hotels in Burford over the years, all have been excellent and this is no exception. Right in the centre, no parking but that really isn’t a problem, there’s always a space somewhere close by so don’t let that put you off. 100% recommended.
