“Add that there is a hairdryer at the property.”

- Mrs Christie, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback, we do mention that there is a hair dryer at the property in the amenity details. Many thanks Manor Cottages. Owner relations
“This was a lovely cottage, first class amenities and kitted out to a high standard.”

A great location just off the main High Street and for visiting the cotswolds. The only downsides were there being no enclosed space outside to keep my dog safe and having to find parking on the street as no parking was allowed on the property although there was sufficient space. These may have been things I overlooked when booking. But all in all we were well catered for and had a lovely time there

- Mrs Davies, August 2020

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, we do mention on street parking, however we will look to see if we can make it more prominent in the description. We are pleased to hear you have a lovely time and the cottage was kitted out to a high standard. Manor Cottages Owner relations
“Lovely welcome from Barry the owner.”

Easy walk in to the town, plenty of parking close to the cottage. Would definitely recommend.

- Mrs Jones, July 2020
“The location of the cottage was perfect - on a quiet road 5 minutes walk from Burford’s main high street with all the shops and restaurants.”

It is well positioned as a base for walking or cycling and exploring the Cotswolds. We had a couple of great walks one straight from the cottage and the other a 10 minute drive to the start. The cottage was cleverly designed and beautifully clean. It was compact but very comfortable and just right for 2 people. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable. On arrival there was milk in the fridge, plenty of tea coffee and sugar, a delicious bowl of fruit on the table as well as a beautiful vase of lilies. Barry the owner was extremely welcoming and helpful. Thank you.

- Mr Hunter, March 2020

Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review of Mill Race,We really appreciate your kind words and are thrilled you had such a wonderful stay here in Burford. We hope you are able to visit again soon. Owner relations
“Obviously the cottage lacked all the convenience of home but it provided an excellent, convenient and relatively economic facility that allowed us to be where we wanted to be and when.”

We were able to accomplish all we wanted to do from a comfortable base and left with feelings almost of regret.

- Mr Pound, September 2019
“This cottage is compact but adequate for two people and a dog.”

It’s tastefully decorated and comfortable. I could hear the owners upstairs at times when they went to the bathroom which seemed to be above the bedroom. Otherwise a lovely location in quaint Burford. We would come back.

- Mrs Goodhead, September 2019

Thank you for the feedback. Have pointed this out to the owners and they have noted this comment. Owner relations
“Mill Race is the perfect accomodation for a break in the Cotswolds.”

Situated just outside(5 minute walk) of the beautiful town of Burford, the owners are incredibly helpful and the place is pristine. A really enjoyable holiday visiting locations but we also looked forward to going back to Mill Race to relax in comfort.

- Mr Waskett, August 2019
“The flowers, fruit, and milk for tea was a wonderful touch that makes someone feel welcomed.”

The location was convenient to all the major roads so you can get to places easily. It is a wonderful location for walking to the center of town.

- Ms Lindsay, August 2019
“Everything was perfect.”

The apartment was well presented and clean. Barry was on hand to give us tips on where to visit etc. Two minor hic -cups were dealt immediately and with-out any fuss. Brilliant for a relaxing holiday !!

- Mrs Clark, July 2019
“The Cottage was pristine and utterly perfect for a couple and their mutt.”

Nothing to complain about whatsoever, and Barry the Owner was an extremely nice chap, who couldn't help enough. Perfectly situated near to the main centre of Burford.

- Mr Wood, July 2019
“Good clean and spacious apartment in a very nice location in Burford.”

Easy access to the town and numerous pubs and restaurants

- Mr Tidman, July 2019
“Lovely accommodation set in a lovely location.”

- Mr Mort, July 2019
“Fab location for exploring the cotswolds Lovely and comfortable apartment with a friendly welcome from Barry”

- Ms Williams, June 2019
“The owners were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and the cottage was, for the most part very comfortable.”

The only slight niggle for me was that the very cleverly taken photos of Mill Race didn't give any indication how restricted the shower cabinet was. As someone of larger size it made showering very difficult and ,had I been aware at the time of booking, we would probably have plumped for a different property

- Mr Mcwilliam, June 2019
“Very nice modern Apartment.”

We felt very comfortable .well equipped kitchen.wery friendly welcome from Barry. We would stay there again.Good position, just few steps from noisy high street.

- Mr Marx, June 2019
“The host was extremely friendly and helpful; offering advice on local walks and places to eat.”

He ensured we had a comfortable stay and small touches such as fresh fruit, flowers and milk were very thoughtful. As the weather turned very poor, it was lovely to have such a cosy warm place to stay with fresh fluffy towels! Fabulous location and a wonderful stay.

- Miss Langley, June 2019
“Parking is on road but not directly outside cottage.”

It was difficult to find a place as Burford was very busy.

- Mrs Stockton, June 2019
“As we had a dog, we assumed the courtyard was enclosed, which it was not.”

Perhaps mention this in future listings.

- Mr Walker, May 2019
“Mill Race is fairly newly refurbished, clean and very well equipped & we have been to Burford twice before.”

The only gripe we had was that the soundproofing between the ground floor cottage & the over-sailing parts of the first floor owners house was very poor. We could hear every step, phone conversations & even sounds from their bathroom when the owners (or the people looking after the house) were in upstairs. That aside we had a nice stay & we'll definitely be back to Burford.

- Mr Hamilton-irvine, April 2019
“A really good find.”

Nice and convenient for walking through to the High Street. Very clean. A welcome bowl of fruit waiting for us. Would go back.

- Mrs Waller, April 2019
“A warm welcome with Fresh flowers and fruit and some Easter Eggs a nice touch.”

Ideal location.

- Mrs Holland, April 2019
“Warm welcome in a beautiful area, very quiet yet in walking distance of Burford.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would very likely return.

- Mr Kemp, April 2019

The property

Mill Race is a charming, modern and very comfortable ground floor apartment a stone's throw from Burford's famous (and much photographed) High Street.

Adjacent to the apartment, the millstream runs underneath the Mill, with a beautiful waterfall.

Offering the best of both worlds, it's very quiet and secluded, but only 5-minute walk from Burford town centre with its stylish shops, and an excellent choice of pubs and restaurants in one direction, and beautiful countryside walks just a few hundred yards in the other.

Mill Race has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay.

About the location

BURFORD

Swinbrook 3.3 miles; Little Barrington 3.4 miles; Minster Lovell 6.1 miles.

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.
