The living space with fireplace, kitchen, conservatory and bedrooms were all incredible - clean and welcoming. It was also in a great spot within Burford. At the top of the high street and near to all the shops, coffee bars and pubs but was peaceful and quiet at nightime. I would highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of visiting the area. The bonus for us is they accept pets so our dog thoroughly enjoyed it too.
