“Excellent accommodation, as soon as we walked in the door it was fantastic.”

Warm and so welcoming. Full of character and decorated for Christmas. Could find no faults. Have stayed in a few cottages over Christmas, nothing compared to this. Had everything needed to cook Xmas lunch for four (would have been ok for 6 but due to Covid regs could only be one household). Would highly recommend booking this cottage. Good location, clean and welcoming.

“Excellent accommodation ( larger than our own desres in fact ) All mod cons supplied.”

Immaculately clean. Who could expect better ? You might think about a couple of small items ai the front door, like the tricky key and the key holder. We will be happy to tell our friends.

“PERFECT! Cotswolds stay”

We LOVED this cottage and would highly recommend for anyone who would like a lovely cotswold cottage with character and short walking distance to the local shops and restaurants. This cottage really couldn't have been anymore perfect for us. It has 3 nice sized bedrooms, a sitting room with dining table and separate lounge, all really nicely put together, and the house itself has beautiful details in the stone work. It also has a well equipped kitchen, and a lovely outside courtyard. What we also loved was that you can walk just a few doors up and be on the high street where there are coffee shops, gift shops, bookstores, restaurants, traditional country pubs. On top of that a short drive to many attractions and things to do. I truly loved this property and my family and I had a wonderful week.

“â€œGreat place to stay in Burford.”

Just off the main street with lots of shops to browse in. The cottage is full of character, well furnished with comfortable beds and everything you could need in the kitchen. We had a lovely relaxing stay. \ Amanda, Dec 2016

“Beautiful cottage in the perfect location”

“We had a wonderful stay at Bull Cottage.”

The home was beautiful and immaculate, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone considering the Buford area. As a family with four children, it was great to find a 6-person accommodation with 4 twin beds and a king (instead of the 3 queens). Arriving late at night, it was a nice touch to be welcomed with cake and milk. \ The pros: 1. A 600+ year old building with all the character you could imagine along with all of the modern conveniences you would want. Interior doorways and nooks in walls have stone arches that one would normally see in a church (there are rumors that stonemasons who built the local church were housed in this cottage and practiced their craft on this house). 2. Plenty of places to congregate (large den with TV, living room, dining table, and breakfast table). 3. The furnishings are a nice mix of antique pieces and newly upholstered chairs and couches. 4. Kitchen has new appliances and is well stocked. 5. All three bedrooms were large with plenty of space to stretch out. 6. Two bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a shower/tub. 7. While it's literally 30 seconds from Burford's high street, the cottage is very quite. We never heard any noise from the crowds on high street nor even from the pub next door. 8. The Co-op market is a one minute walk away, and it stays open until 11pm. 9. Plenty of lovely shops (antique, clothing, etc.) as well as restaurants within a few minutes walk. 10. Some nice Cotswolds walks through the countryside start right from the front door. The (only) con (which was minor and wouldn't cause us to hesitate staying at Bull Cottage again): - was the lack of parking right outside the cottage. The closest parking space is about 100 feet away; but it's more likely that you'll have to park 300 feet away on a side street. It wasn't an issue for us, but it's something to consider if you have mobility restrictions. There is no problem stopping at the door to unload and by later afternoon the street clears out so parking is easy...it's just daytime parking that's a bit tight. \ Victor, June 2016

“We had a wonderful stay at Bull Cottage.”

Burford is such a picturesque Cotswold village and the cottage is just a quick walk from shopping and places to eat. It was a treat to stay in such a lovely home with so much history but with all the modern conveniences. We would absolutely book this cottage again on our next trip to the Cotswolds!\ Karen Taylor, September, 2016

“The cottage was quite lovely.”

It was very clean, everything was in working order and the kitchen was well equipped. It was very comfortable, warm and inviting. I particularly appreciated how the original character of the cottage was maintained in the renovation. Would highly recommend this Cottage. \ \

“A really lovely character cottage in the heart of Burford.”

We were there in December and it was cosy, great central heating and we loved being able to pop up the road to buy some logs and use the wood burning stoves. Handy for all the local shops and restaurants and many pubs and we did not find parking an issue on Whitney Street, there was always one available no matter time of day. We would recommend Bull Cottage, the owners have maintained it beautifully and it is well managed and well equipped.â€ \ Ali, Dec 2016

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.
