Bursting with charm, Church Cottage is tucked away down a quiet lane beside Burford’s historic church. Built of classic Cotswold stone, the cottage is full of period features and carefully preserved architectural details. Sleeping up to six, Church Cottage combines a warm, inviting atmosphere with vintage touches throughout. Just behind the house, a private walled garden and rose terrace offer a tranquil retreat, ideal for unwinding or dining alfresco in peaceful surroundings. Burford is one of the most beloved towns in the Cotswolds. Its famous High Street slopes gently down to the River Windrush, with historic houses and a mix of independent shops, galleries, tearooms, and pubs lining both sides. With its own private parking, Church Cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy everything Burford has to offer, while still providing a quiet retreat just moments from the heart of it all.

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.

This is a lovely cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds with 1930s evocative styling and sheltered garden to enjoy the summer sun. Good provision of equipment and everything we needed to help celebrate our son's wedding.

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.
