Bursting with charm, Church Cottage is tucked down a quiet lane beside Burford’s historic church. This Cotswold stone three-bed property presents period features and a private walled garden, ideal for relaxing and dining alfresco. Just moments away from Burford, this bolthole is perfectly placed to enjoy everything The Cotswolds has to offer, whilst still providing a delightful place to slow down.

This is a beautifully kept three bedroom cottage just off the main high street in the town of Burford. The cottage has its own private parking spot which means you don't have to worry about finding a parking spot. It also has a beautiful, well kept garden which is lovely to have coffee in in the morning or relax and have a snooze in the afternoons. I stayed with my family in May for 11 days and we really felt we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The location of the cottage means you benefit from it being quiet and away from the high street huddle and bustle yet only a two minute walk from all the little boutique shops and pubs in Burford. Burford, known as "the gateway to the Cotswolds", is also very well located just off the A40 so getting to other places in the Cotswolds is really convenient. The house keeper Sian, was so welcoming and helpful when we stayed and she lives locally so is only a few minutes away if you need anything. The cottage is a 'cottage' in the true sense so expect two small bathrooms and a narrow steep stairs but this is typical of all genuine cottages. The village has lots of little artisan shops, a bakery and coffee shops and a few pubs. Whitney is only an 18 minute drive away, where there are three large super markets and everything you would expect of a larger town. If the want something that has a real cottage feel to it, conveniently located in a beautiful Cotswold village then Church Cottage is definitely worth a visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Church Cottage. It was very comfortable for our family of four and perfectly located for exploring all the Cotswolds highlights. The cottage was clean, well appointed, and exactly as described on the site. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. We’d happily recommend it to others.

Adequate property in heart of Burford. Property looks beautiful externally. Inside a different story - makeover needed. Showers are inadequate for 5 adults. Lack of relevant information provided until 2 days prior to arrival e.g 1 shower could only be used as a handheld shower. Also that the property was “green” - I like my towels fluffy! Lack of generosity from owners - given a packet of biscuits, small milk and wood for 1 fire. As a comparison, the next day we arrived at a property for 2 nights - they gave us a welcome basket containing fresh bread, juice, eggs, butter, milk, biscuits, wine! Unfortunately the property was disappointing.

We spent 4 nights at Church Cottage while visiting to attend a wedding. The cottage is in a great location off High Street and is well equipped for a group of up to 6 people. Beds were comfortable with nice living and dining areas. Kitchen is well equipped with all the amenities needed for our group. Parking in private driveway was a bonus as parking in Burford is challenging. Garden was a beautiful place to relax. Communication with our hosts was faultless and made for a great stay.

We spent a lovely weekend in Burford and Church Cottage was a delightful place to stay. Ideally situated, in a quiet area. Lots of restaurants, cafes and independent shops on your doorstep. So much to see in the Cotswolds.

Three of us life-long friends made a 20+ year dream come true by staying 30 days at Church Cottage in Burford, UK, April - May, 2025. The cottage far, far exceeded our expectation!!! The online information accurately described the cottage perfectly, but seeing it in person brought its magic to the foreground. The location near the bottom of High Street was the perfect base of operation for visiting all the sights, shops, pubs and restaurants in Burford as well as the surrounding villages in the Cotswolds. The private parking space next to the entrance door was truly a blessing as public parking is at a premium. Also the ground floor water closet was so welcomed by all three of us. The ground floor had a fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, and washing machine. It further had a lovely sitting room with tv, cable, and wifi and a large dining room which easily seated 8. The stairs to the upper floor were narrow; however they were carpeted and had a sturdy handrail for navigating the stairs safely. The upper floor consisted of 3 bedrooms, full bathroom with shower, and second bathroom with claw-footed tub. Everything was perfectly clean; beds were extremely comfortable. There also was a beautiful enclosed back yard and side patio with table and six chairs. Flowers and shrubs were gorgeous! The St. John Baptist church was just beyond the patio - gorgeous to see and the hourly bell chimes were delightful!! Not at all disruptive!!
The owners were very friendly and extremely responsive before and during out stay. And the housekeepers when scheduled were excellent. Overall, we were delighted with our stay and would highly recommend this property.

We stayed for just over 3wks and a fell in love with the cottage which was ideal for our needs. Small but perfectly formed, its three bedrooms were very comfortable. The downstairs rooms worked well for us - especially the sitting room which, due to the double aspect, was as flooded with natural light all day. The French windows in both reception rooms allow a seamless link to the rear garden and side terrace. Having an on-site private parking space is a real boon in Burford. The owners were kind and helpful once our booking was confirmed, and the housekeeper brilliant during our stay. All-in-all, Church Cottage is the perfect bolthole for anyone wanting an independent stay in what we think is the best town in The Cotswolds.

Church Cottage proved to be ideal for a comfortable and relaxing break in Burford. The cottage is perfectly located very close to the centre of Burford, but in a peaceful position away from the busy main high street and next to the impressive St John the Baptist Church. We would certainly look to return in the future.

The cottage was beautiful and in a fantastic location. It was extremely well equipped for cooking and very clean. The beds were all comfortable and car parking was very handy. Communication with Robin & Emma was easy and both were friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Church Cottage for a relaxing break in the Cotswolds.

We enjoyed a week at Church Cottage in Burford and delighted in the cosy cottage, fantastic secluded garden and convenience to Burford High Street. Be aware of steep staircase, that was our only concern. It is located right beside St. John the Baptist Church with fascinating history and great Cafe 15 in Warwick Hall.

Church Cottage is ideally situated on a quiet lane right next to the Church and only moments from the shops on the High Street. Very well furnished with thoughtful extras such as a bluetooth speaker we could use in the garden. Very highly recommended.

Thanks to four days of glorious sunny weather, we were able to make full use of the totally secluded and very attractive garden. Spent much time in it; from breakfast to sun down. Very tastefully planted including some beautiful roses,
Very relaxing. Everything in the cottage also very tasteful and appropriate

We stayed at Church Cottage with our children and had a wonderful time. It is very comfortable, well equipped and exceptionally well located. While within minutes from the Hill, Burford’s bustling high street, it is very quiet and the view of the church is beautiful and soothing. Burford is easily the prettiest Cotswold village and a perfect starting point for exploring the area. Our hosts were very thoughtful and provided excellent tips for places to visit and where to eat. Overall a memorable stay that we hope to repeat soon and highly recommend to anyone!

We stayed at Church Cottage for 3 nights at beginning of August - two children and four adults. It was a wonderful stay.

When we arrived we noticed a few more wasps than normal and potentially a wasps nest on the grounds. We spoke to owners and they sorted immediately. It was good knowing that we could contact easily and that they were on top of things.

Cottage very cosy and comfortable and lovely outside space. Bath is definitely made for a smaller person but there is a shower!

Best bit is the location with the Church literally next door and the high street a 30 second walk away. Lovely bakery where we went every morning for fresh bread as well as lots of independent shops. Lots to do around the area - we went to Crocodiles of the World, did archery, visited lovely garden centre. All are listed in the guides left in house.

Overall a wonderful stay and we were sad to leave.

Church Cottage is a fabulous retreat. In a great location with access to all the pubs, cafes and shops. A quiet place to sleep, rest and enjoy the surroundings. Tastefully put together and everything you need to cook, a home away from home. Great attention to detail.

This is a beautiful property in the perfect location. The owners and housekeepers clearly take great pride in the property and the attention to detail with the furnishings, decorations and little extra touches was appreciated. The kitchen is very well equipped, which was good for eating at home in the evenings.

My only comment would be that the property is more suited to 1 couple with children than a group of adults. We were 3 couples and struggled a bit with the configuration. We ended up all having to share the en-suite shower cubicle in the master bedroom, which wasn’t very convenient. The main bathroom only has a bathtub and the ceiling is too low to stand in the bath to shower so unless everyone is taking a bath every day it’s not really practical. The master bedroom has one good sized bed but the double in the 2nd bedroom is tiny, better suited to one person or children and the 3rd room is set up for children with 2 singles. These were big enough for adults and comfortable but better suited to kids.

We enjoyed the living space very much although we struggled a bit with the central heating which we were asked not to adjust or alter but was hotter than the sun in the evenings, to the point where we had to open windows.

Overall we loved the house and had a great stay. The hosts were accommodating and gave us tons of info.

Thank you!

Wir waren in Familie ( 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder ( 14+12 ) im Juli in Burford. Das Cottage war vollständig ausgestattet. Alles war ordentlich und gepflegt. Die Betten waren sehr gut! Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig war der nostalgische Elektro-Herd.
Die tolle Lage im schönen Burford tat ihr übriges.
Wir können das Cottage weiterempfehlen.

We (a family of four) really enjoyed Church Cottage in Burford and would love to come back again. Very clean, tasteful, light and airy, comfortable cottage. And we enjoyed Burford completely and enjoyed our short day trips from Burford as well.

P.S. The folder of detailed information on the cottage's features and on Burford and the surrounding areas was terrific.
