The Lamb Inn

Had business in Taunton stopped here for a couple of nights and pleased we did. Very authentic welcome great staff which in my opinion are worth every penny and more. Obviously we knew food would be good and it didn’t disappoint from evening meal to breakfast all cooked well. Hats off to a really good group we will return someday soon.

Another historic building, the site dates from the early 1400s and still sports some original flagstones in the pub. The room we had was small but comfortable. The staff were uniformly helpful and kind. Breakfast was traditional and excellent. We loved the garden and since this off from High Street, it was peaceful.

We had a 2 night stay (me and the dog). I found the room excellent standards, Very comfy large bed with feather or duck down duvet and pillows. Very clean. Amazing rainfall shower with great pressure and very hot. However no fridge (luckily only 2 nights as I was with my dog and feed her raw but I'm more than sure if asked they would accommodate) I didn't realise breakfast was included... bonus! It was 'continental' (cereals, toast, croissants) I don't remember what else as the croissants were amazing with the available marmalade (there were also jams and honey) err I also had the full English (was great except I'm a sucker for beans and they weren't there) I will state that it is 5 star in my opinion even though I didn't eat the steak dinner due to it being over salty but as a hospitality host I know chefs do love the salt, I offered to pay but they refused outright which is amazing to see! Great outdoor space and of course dog friendly throughout 🐾 Close proximity to Didly Squat and the Wildlife Park. Great walking area too in a quaint little village. Will definitely be returning!!!

The Lamb Inn is exactly what you hope for when dreaming of a Cotswolds escape—charming, intimate, and full of character. Nestled on a quiet, postcard-perfect street in Burford, it feels like stepping into another time. Wisteria climbs the old stone façade, and the soft, uneven cobblestones outside set the tone for what’s inside: quiet, historic elegance.||The staff were kind and attentive from the moment we arrived, offering warm, helpful service without ever being overbearing. Whether pointing out nearby walks, helping with luggage, or making sure dinner ran smoothly, they struck the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism.||The food was a true standout. Dinner was beautifully prepared and full of flavor—easily one of the best meals we had in the region. Each dish felt carefully considered and rooted in quality ingredients. Breakfast the next morning continued the high standard, with generous portions and everything cooked to perfection.||The Lamb Inn manages to feel upscale without ever being stuffy. It’s a peaceful retreat with real soul, in one of the prettiest corners of the Cotswolds. We’d return in a second—and encourage anyone coming through Burford to stay here.

A fantastic experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and full of character, with views of the street. Breakfast was delicious. The location is perfect—peaceful and picturesque, yet close to the main sights. We would love to come back and recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Stayed here for the night whilst on business in the area and will be back again. So much character & history in one building & right in Burford. Beautiful gardens outside. Lovely large rooms, great beds. Staff friendly & helpful.

The stay was ok, rooms were not bad (room2) the bed was very comfy. When we arrived we were educated with the breakfast process, slightly frustrating as when we booked it stated that breakfast was included however that was cereals and toast only. We were told that there would be fresh pastries, bread etc however there were no pastries, no brown bread. The dining room was quite dirty, last nighta dinner on the floor including napkins etc. Not overly impressed with the stay, thankfully it was a cheap stay local to where we went for dinner the night before. Don't think we will be back again however.

We so enjoyed our stay in the Lamb Inn. We stayed in the Allium room that is a dotey, spacious light filled room with a huge bathroom. This Inn oozes character and style. Service was superb. Special thanks to Fred, Jake, Greg and especially Courtney who went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome and looked after. Food is top notch from breakfast, lunch in bar and dinner in restaurant. Cosy fires in bar, snug and restaurant. Location was perfect, just off the Main Street on a quiet road. I would recommend staying here 100%.

I lived in England for several years and on several occasions, I stayed at this hotel and ate in the restaurant. This is a brilliant place and is like stepping back into time.  It has terrific ambiance, and the food is great. It is almost like coming inside a Harry Potter film set.  The place is extraordinarily beautiful and if you are in Oxfordshire I highly recommend a visit. One gets a well-heeled clientele here.

How many things in life really live up to your romanticized, idealized view of them in your head? Not many...ever. The Lamb Inn in Burford was perfect for my weekend in the Cotswolds. The staff was so friendly and helpful, leaving keys for us when we returned late and calling taxis for us throughout the weekend. I loved that the history and charm of the inn has been preserved, from the cozy common rooms with fires going at tea time to the crooked rickety stairs, but there have been modern updates made to the bathrooms (glass walk in showers) with luxury Molton Brown amenities and modern conveniences like complimentary wifi. If you are lucky to be there on a sunny day, lunch or tea outdoors in the gardens behind the inn is just the most divine thing you can imagine. If only I could have stayed longer!

After eating our meal, I commented that was best meal we had since Gidleigh Park, a 2 Michelin start restaurant. Didn't realize the Lamb Inn was a 1 star Michelin restaurant. I had the guinea fowl )a special), that came with an amazing potato/cabbagy-like side and rosti. My wife was very impressed with her lamb shank. And gotta have the sticky toffee pudding. Really friendly and chatty waiter from Portugal who put up with us moving around the garden to follow the evening sun. And what a great garden they have. Inside feels like a well appointed pub, but with a great wine list.

Beautiful inn with friendly staff and great atmosphere and service. The food is fine, if somewhat unremarkable, and you're paying London prices, but you're here for the charm. Gem.

As previously stated, this place has amazing atmosphere; really a classy english pub. The food was some of the better food I had while in the UK. The wine list was pretty expansive for a pub, and of course, they had plenty of good beers to choose from. They had lots of nice snug areas to sit and have dinner with friends, or hang out on your own with a pint and a book. Also, I'd highly recommend staying in this area if you need to get away; simply beautiful countryside.

Exactly how I imagined an English country inn and pub. Got the goat cheese panna cotta, fish and chips, and tea. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the inn looks like it would be a good place to stay. If it's nice out, sit in the garden.

Great pub with fantastic atmosphere. If your looking for the Hollywood idea of what an English pub should be like, then you have it all here. History, roaring fires, and great beer.
