Highway Burford

Incredible service and beautiful hotel...! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially loved the comfortable beds and mood lighting in the rooms. Impeccably clean great food but the highlight was the outstanding service. Special thanks to Linzi for the late night rescue/pickup after a taxi disaster, you want above and beyond, thank you so much! We had a wonderful anniversary stay and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying in the Cotswolds.

Having stayed at many different hotels in The Cotswolds, we were incredibly impressed with Highway. The hotel is the sister of the Bell which is directly adjacent. The staff here could not be nicer, it’s run by a relatively small team of incredibly friendly people that will go out of their way to make your stay brilliant. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. We stayed in the Gold room which is directly above the entrance, we had no issues at all with noise and the super king bed was so comfortable. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant both mornings and dinner on the Friday night. The food is exceptional for a hotel restaurant, people actually come from far to eat here as the chefs are very talented. All round one of our favourite Cotswolds stays in the last few years, a definite staple hotel for future stays. Thanks to all the team. Special mention to Alex in the bar, she’s an incredible cocktail mixologist and we spent a good part of the night chatting away with her!

We had THE BEST time at The Highway!! The food was absolutely incredible — every part of the Sunday Roast was full of flavour and beautifully presented. We shared the pork belly and steak which was perfectly cooked, and all the trimmings were just delicious (and lots of it!!) The service was just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. It’s clear the staff really care about creating a great atmosphere and memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to come back!!

The Highway has been one of the highlights of our travels to date. From the exceptional tapas menu, bar service, to the cosy bedrooms full of character, you can’t go wrong booking this place to stay located on the high street in the centre of everything. Most outstanding was the staff who went above and beyond to make our stay an amazing one. Special thanks to Rebecca for sourcing anniversary flowers and chocolates and to Linzi for rescuing us when the taxi service left us stranded!

I had a truly wonderful stay at the Highway Burford Hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and at home. The hotel is spotless, very well kept, and has such a cozy, personal charm. I especially want to thank the two ladies at the front desk for their kindness and professionalism. I arrived very early in the morning, well before check-in, and they went out of their way to accommodate me. They even offered to store my luggage so I could enjoy wandering around Burford without any hassle. The staff’s hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Burford—you’ll feel like family here.

Stayed here for my birthday time away with my partner. Nice touch on arrival with a happy birthday note and chocolates on the bed. The bedroom and en suite bathroom is perfect and the bed was very comfy. The breakfast in the morning way great. The shared pantry for guests with free hot drinks, soft drinks and cake was a nice touch and convenient. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming! Would definitely stay here again :)

An old building on the main street of Burford so location excellent but no dedicated parking. As a place to stay, we cannot recommend it because of the issues surrounding such an old building. Check-in was easy on-line so there was little fuss on arrival. Our room, (Sorrow) was aptly named, being on the second floor and accessed by awkward stairs. The room itself was very small and this was made worse because it had a king size bed. No wardrobe or drawer space, just four hangers on two wall pegs. A nice shower unit but fitted at the expense of room for a decent hand basin. Breakfast was a strange affair with only two types of fruit juice and water available for self service. Food was via a menu where each item was priced and you could order to a £25 limit. Food quality was good. All very polite at breakfast but lacking warmth.

Fabulous tapas for lunch today! We sat in the back courtyard which was a sun trap. It was like being on holiday!! We ordered our food/drinks and they came shortly after. The tapas were amazing; all were fresh, flavourful and well presented. Compliments to the chefs!! It’s dog friendly and they have our little pooch a water bowl.
