While the staff is described as nice and polite, there is a suggestion that more could be done to improve the overall experience and create a more enthusiastic and welcoming atmosphere.

In terms of the dining experience, there are mixed reviews. While some comments praise the food, others express disappointment. One comment mentions that the Sunday roast was the worst ever, with horrible beef that ruined the entire meal. Another comment mentions tasteless chicken on a bed of peas and overcooked potatoes, expressing disappointment in the quality of the food. This suggests a lack of consistency in the dining experience and a need for improvement in the kitchen.

We have just stayed at burford house good location we was in the cottage in the garden you go up quiet a few stairs to a large room and a large bathroom The shower didnt work properly and was tied on with tiewraps black mould all round the door food was OK full breakfast but again use local resources like fresh crusty bread ect staff was nice but just things at burford house needed a bit off a lift lacked enthusiasm I wouldn't stay here again

Un villaggio stupendo. Le persone sono gentilissime, ottima anche la cucina e soprattutto i prezzi sono decisamente abbordabili. Luogo dove per gli appassionati si può dormi re anche 1/2 notti

firstly i would like to say that we have stayed at this hotel a few times over the years

today we had a sunday roast expecting it to be the usual good standard

however to our total disappointment

this had to be the absolute worst sunday roast i have ever been presented with

the beef was horrible and i mean horrible who ever put it on the plate must have been laughing

we wouldn’t normally complain but in this event really needed to

their response was oh sorry we won’t charge you for the pint u had

which was a token but the whole meal was ruined

did not expect this from this hotel as our previous experience was good

i can’t tell you how bad this meat was

My Cheltenham friend and I from Oxford regularly meet for lunch here having tried many others in Burford. Far and away the best.

A great location in the heart of town . We went in and settled at a table in the bar. The staff were nice but really inexperienced. One did seem to know what they were doing but was hard pressed. The place soon filled up and was really noisy. That's fine as it showed a buzz. The place is supposed to do Italian food we chose tge chicken at £

18 a meal so were expecting something good. What arrived was tastless chicken on a bed of peas and come overcooked potatoes. Very disappointed so we paid and left. Clearly loads of places are having staffing issues but no excuse for defrosted chicken with a tastless sauce. Hmmm.

The staff at this hotel were absolutely charming, helpful, and kind. Dinner/breakfast was cooked beautifully. However, my partner and I felt that for the price, it is very dated, over priced and needs a lot of TLC and updated facilities. Blinds in the bathroom were tatty and falling apart, the bathroom itself was very outdated as was the bedroom curtains and carpets. Plaster was falling off the ceiling in the hall and water stains looked awful... they should update or reduce the cost.

Just had a coffee there, but nice surroundings and pleasant boy who served us

A pleasant bar, with very nice polite staff.

I had the burger and chips, which was of a good standard.

There is very strong competition from some of the other restaurants here, but a pleasant enough meal.
