Olde Worlde Charm

Lovely hotel and full of character. We were expecting to stay in the main hotel but were out in the cottage annex which was slightly tired. It was a particularly cold night and the single glazed metal windows wouldn’t shut properly. Radiators were lukewarm and not adjustable. We needed the extra blanket on the bed! After a drink in the cosy bar with open fire our meal in the restaurant was delicious and the staff were attentive and helpful. Breakfast the next morning was equally good. Would love to stay at The Baytree again but would go for a better room, hopefully in the main hotel.

Burford is a great place

Very small and hot room, and I couldn’t turn the radiator off. The shower is so small you cannot stand up. It is ok if you are under 5 feet tall. Noisy room as the ventilation vent for the building is above the window. Great hotel with great staff and I have stayed 5 times before and will stay again but I will not be staying in Ash next time.

It’s a lovely place to stay. We were in the annexe, room was really large, sitting room then up a bit to bedroom and bathroom jut off that room. Staff in bar on the slow side, had to be found to get served. Evening meal was good (even though 6oz steak! Had soup to start but no spoon supplied so used desert spoon. No steak knives either so ploughed through with just a normal knife. Possibly not quite four star, but would stay again.

Food 10/10 Cosiness 10/10

The food here was second to none, the staff couldn’t do any more. We had beef and fish and chips for tea and it was 10/10. The breakfast menu + buffet was also fab! The rooms were nice and big, however they were quite dusty and the shower pressure was a trickle of water so wasn’t too enjoyable. The roof of our room did look slightly concerning as was very bent with lots of cracks in, but maybe this is what old buildings are like! The warmth and cozyness of the place was amazing, fireplaces everywhere, super nice and warm. The staff were fab. Any advice from us, get the cheese Croquettes 😍😍 Can’t wait to come back here!
