Staying in Burford
Burford gives a visitor a compact historic centre to walk, with the hotel addresses here spread between High Street, Witney Street, The Hill and Signet Hill inside the town, and Grove Farm, Asthall, Swinbrook, Great Barrington and Burford Road in the surrounding countryside. That means you can choose between stepping out to the shops and inns, or staying in a quieter barn or village setting a short drive away.
These hotels suit different trips. Couples and small groups have the barns at Grove Farm and The Stalls, while inns such as The Maytime Inn, The Angel At Burford and The Swan Inn Swinbrook pair rooms with restaurants and bars. Families are served by properties with cots, high chairs and family rooms, and business or short-break travellers are covered by the High Street addresses and the rated inns with free wifi.
