Why we love it
The setting
On the edge of Burford — a Cotswold market town of honey-coloured limestone — sits The Cotswold Gateway Hotel. The building is a former coaching inn, with a pub and dining room on the ground floor. From here you can walk down the high street past independent shops, tearooms and pubs within a few minutes.
What to expect
Rooms are decorated in a calm, traditional style with comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms. Downstairs there is a bar and a dining room serving classic British food. Breakfast can be added when you book rather than being part of this rate. The hotel keeps the feel of a country inn while staying close to the town.
Things to do nearby
The Church of St John the Baptist is about 200 metres away, near the bottom of the high street. The Tolsey Museum, which covers Burford's history, is roughly 300 metres on. RAF Brize Norton is around 7 km away, and Oxford Airport is about 22 km. The wider Cotswolds, with villages like Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water, are an easy drive.
Best for
A good base for couples who want a quiet Cotswolds break with walks, country pubs and easy drives to nearby villages.
