“Lovely cottage, three good sized bedrooms with comfy beds.”

Everything we needed for an enjoyable family break in the center of village so very close to amenities. We enjoyed the the five circular local walks and coffee in the court garden.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on 2 Lawrence Lane. We are pleased to hear you were able to enjoy the local walks and the court garden. Owner relations

“The cottage was nice , however a lot smaller than we perceived from the photographs.”

The kitchen was tiny and not really suitable for 6 people. The lounge was also very small. It was adequate as only 3 of us, but for 6 would have meant no seats for 2 (unless they sat on a stone window seat). We were informed that due to Covid we wouldn't be able to gain entry to the property until 6pm to allow a.more thorough clean. However, behind one of the beds was a dirty sock and earplug and lots of dust and cobwebs. I contacted Sykes to inform them, but received no reply. Manor cottages is the local agent and they dealt with it promptly and efficiently....thankfully. I would not book with Sykes again.

Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. We apologise for our usual high standards of cleanliness not being met on this occassion, this has now been raised with our Housekeeping department to prevent it from happening again. Although the cottage sleeps 6 it is highlighted on the website that it is more suitable for 4-5 people due to layout of the property. We hope to be able to welcome you back to Manor Cottages in the near future. Owner relations

Perfect for my family.

“Loved the cottage and location.”

Main issues: 1) It was a cold week in May and it was difficult to turn on the heat. We went about 5 days before we were able to get any heat and then it was hard to regulate. Temps went down into the 30's at night. 2) Top floor bath room was dark... it needed more lighting. Couldn't see yourself in the mirror! Plus there were no instructions on how to work the shower. It was also about 5 days before we could figure out how to regulate the hot, cold and direction to satisfaction . Other than all this, we love Burford and love the cottage. A couple of adjustments would make it a much more enjoyable stay.....

Thank you for your feedback. we are glad you loved the cottage. Sorry that you experienced some issues during your stay. There are contact details within the Welcome Folder which give details of the office number and a 24 hour emergency number you can call. We are sorry you didn't call us as we could have given you guidance on how to do all these things . We hope to welcome you back in the future. Owner relations

“Lovely cosy cottage with easy access to pubs, restaurants and shops.”

Definitely not for more than four people though as the downstairs space is limited. We had a fantastic week, would recommend the farm shop and the Highway Inn on the high street. One word of warning, there is no freezer or freezer compartment. The listing doesn’t say there is one but we have never rented a cottage of this quality without one.

“Perfect cottage .”

.. gorgeous and good situation.

“This is an immaculate, well-renovated cottage on a quiet lane near the historic Burford church.”

Access was easy and correspondence prompt, always helpful, We were there as a family to attend a wedding and having travelled from afar were very pleased with the cosy, well equipped accommodation. Would love to return, and highly recommend it. Via AirBnB March 2019

The property

Nestling down perhaps the most historic street in Burford (and featuring in the painting by L.S Lowry 'Burford Church'), 2 Lawrence Lane is a classic gem of a holiday home - the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway.

Dating from the 1500's, the cottage is beautifully improved and enhanced whilst ensuring that the unique charm and character remains visible.

There are many lovely touches throughout, the woodburner in the inglenook Tudor fireplace, a smart little kitchen and three good sized bedrooms upstairs all with very comfortable beds and mattresses make it a special and homely choice.

The owners have cleverly mixed period, antique furniture with modern twists throughout the cottage.

Outside is a private garden area, with table and chairs, whilst Burford High Street with its quirky collection of shops, restaurants and galleries is at the end of the lane, so you can choose to do "absolutely nothing" and treat yourself when staying, or you can bolt the door and stay cocooned in this delightful cottage hideaway.

A very cute Cotswolds cottage indeed!

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.

Whilst the property sleeps up to 6 and there is dining space for 6, there is more comfortable seating for 4 or 5 in the living room with additional seating in the bay window
NOTE: This property has a £200 good housekeeping bond This amount is automatically shadowed when the booking is made
NOTE: There is no allocated parking at the property. However there is on street parking directly outside the property, and the main car park in Burford is less than a 1 minute walk from the house.
