The Lamb Inn

The Lamb Inn is a typical, oldly worldly pub just of Burford’s high street. Low ceilings, beams and log fires - just loads of character. We visited in January so the weather was freezing, but the room we had was very warm, quite large, comfortable and with a nice bathroom.. The bed deserves special mention as it was one of the most comfortable I have slept in! We had dinner and breakfast - both excellent as well! Quite good value actually as well, and highly recommended !

We had the most wonderful stay at The Lamb in Burford this weekend while celebrating my 30th birthday, and I honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond with thoughtful little touches that made me feel so special. Our room was spotless and beautifully decorated, and the whole hotel felt incredibly cosy, warm and welcoming — the open fires were a huge highlight. Every member of staff was kind, attentive and genuinely caring, and no request ever felt like too much trouble. The food was absolutely delicious, enjoyed in a very cosy dining room, and breakfast the next morning was just as lovely. Relaxing in the shared lounge spaces was a real treat too. I can’t recommend The Lamb highly enough — it’s officially our new favourite place and we will definitely be back!

Sweet little inn with wonderful staff! We loved our 3 nights here. So cozy and comfortable. The food was divine! Breakfast had incredible vegetarian options (including the best meatless sausage I’ve ever tasted!) and dinner was superb as well. Staff was extremely kind and welcoming. The only thing to note is that some of the ground floor rooms have windows opening up to the sidewalk. We switched rooms to a higher floor because we like to have our curtains and windows open. But it was an easy switch. A truly delightful stay. Thank you, Lamb Inn!

Have just spent the weekend at the Lamb to celebrate my 60th birthday - perfect 🩷 The place is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. Open fires and log burners. Quality of the food was excellent and staff couldn't be more helpful. Definitely recommend and hope to return.

We have just returned from a wonderful couple of nights at the Lamb . It was a family birthday and everything was perfect. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. We ate in the restaurant both evenings and the food was delicious. We enjoyed having a drink before dinner in front of the open fire . The room was spotlessly clean, quiet and so comfortable. It wasn’t our first visit and hopefully not our last! I wish we could have stayed longer and sad to leave . Many thanks to you all.

Rooms are tastefully styled with a balance of rustic character and modern comfort. Think plush beds, quality linens, and little touches that make your stay feel personal rather than generic. It's the kind of place where you sleep exceptionally well. The restaurant is a highlight. The menu leans into classic British flavours with refined execution. Seasonal ingredients, beautifully presented dishes, and a well-curated wine list make dinner feel like an occasion. Breakfast is equally strong: hearty, fresh, and unhurried. Whether you're using it as a base to explore nearby villages or simply settling in for a peaceful countryside escape, the Lamb Hotel delivers charm, comfort, and a sense of quiet luxury. An ideal retreat for a romantic getaway, a foodie weekend, or anyone craving a slower pace in the Cotswolds.

Great location. The young front of house personnel, led by the excellent manager, Amy, were charming, friendly and very helpful upon our check in. The room we stayed in was smaller, but that would be expected of a 400 year old building that had undergone a top notch renovation. The outdoor gardens were lush and spacious. The pub and the adjoining dining room seemed to attract a nice mix of locals and travelers. We had heard about the young 29 year old chef and co-owner of The Lamb Inn. He did not disappoint. We had a sophisticated dinner and it turned out to be the best meal of our trip. We hope to come back. staff. Excellent dining.

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.
