About this property

Cotswold Cottage - The Cottage - in the centre of Burford

The lovely town of Burford occupies a position on the meandering River Windrush. Burford is built on a fairly steep hill, and the view from the top of the hill looking down the High Street to the river is one of the classic panoramas of the Cotswolds. A lovely 4-arched medieval bridge, widened in the 18th century, crosses the Windrush, and though Burford itself does not occupy the northern bank, a walk across the bridge is rewarded by wonderful views across watermeadows to the spire of St. John the Baptist parish church.
152 The Hill has been completed renovated and now offers 5 individual holiday homes, The Cottage is one of them, all five properties can be all be rented if you would like, family Christmas, special occasions, the whole property will sleep up to 23, but you will all have your individual space, please see 8379757, 8379752, 6977567, 8379755, and please contact us for details.
The Cottage is a two bedroom cottage, with one bathroom with shower, it can sleep up to 4 people, the bedrooms are individual, one double bed and one with a king size bed, downstairs is open plan living, kitchen, dining area and a sitting room with TV.

A communal garden can be found at the back of the property, it is lawned and is available to all guests that are staying at 152 The Hill. When you step outside the property, you are metres away from a newsagent, a butcher, a deli, a chemist, restaurants, pubs, a little further down is the Co-op shop. It is a brilliant place to stay as a base to explore the Cotswolds, with many places to visit.

Glorious getaway in beautiful Burford

Sally's cottage was a veritable dream - light, spacious, comfortable, and very well decorated! The little extra touches to make us feel at home were very much appreciated - we instantly felt welcome and settled. The parking was exceptionally easy (right outside the door) and the location second to none - in the heart of the high street. We have had a wonderful stay, and could not recommend this property and Sally enough! Thank you again!

Excellent cottage

Very nice cottage full of character, bang in the middle. of Burford. Well furnished and stocked with very comfortable beds.. One small complaint, the Wi-Fi wasn’t working and we couldn’t contact anyone to get it fixed. I think we should have been made aware of this.

Perfect Cottage

The cottage was perfect for our needs and in a fantastic location, just a stones throw from the high street but set back so very quiet. The extra touches were lovely and well thought out (including an extra hand towel in the bathroom), the welcome pack was exactly what you would need and also included gorgeous homemade items. We would definitely stay again.

Central in Burford

Appreciated the stone walls in the extreme heat. It was cool inside but even so a fan had been left. Thanks also for the cakes and bubbly etc. Much appreciated. A very comfortable stay. A couple of extra mugs and a tea towel would be great but otherwise everything was perfect! Thanks.

Excellent Short break In The Cotswolds

This is a beautiful cozy cottage in the High Street of Burford. The cottage has everything that you would need and the welcome touch of food and drink were greatly appreciated and a lovely gesture. Excellent pub and restaurants within a few minutes walk. We ate at the Highwayman Inn opposite and the Royal Oak down the hill. Some lovely shops and tea rooms to wander around. Would highly recommend and we will be back.
