Ms. Wheeler “”
The cottage we stayed at, Swanlings, was absolutely lovely, very clean and had all the utensils needed and it is located only a 1 or 2 minute walk away from Burford high street as advertised which meant we got to try a number of the different local pubs which was great! We had such a fantastic time that we have already booked to return in July and I can't wait to return to the cottage! â€

The property
Tucked down a quiet little lane moments from Burford High Street, Swanlings could be described as more of a smart hotel than a self catering hideaway.
The owners have carved this, literally, out of the hillside and created a delightful cutey perfect for two, yet suitable for 3 or 4*.
The open plan living space is light and bright, the bedroom cosy and the bathroom a welcoming haven to relax and unwind.
The kitchen is well equipped with all the necessary mod cons under a smart granite worksurface and more than enough to keep you busy - if you decide to stop in!
But why would you?
Burford's famous High Street with its wide choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs is no more than 45 seconds away on foot, so if you're looking to kick back, relax and treat yourself, then Swanlings will be a treat for you to enjoy.

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.
