Best Hotels in Burford, United Kingdom

We popped in hoping we could get Sunday lunch and was greeted by a lovely lady with long curly hair who made room for us in the restaurant. She was super friendly and an absolutely delight. I have an allergy so have to be a little careful when ordering but she made sure I was going to be ok. Double checking ingredients etc for me. She had such a lovely personality she made our experience a very good one and we will definitely be coming back when we are in the area again!! The food was delicious too!! All staff at the restaurant were lovely and it was just a positive experience well done guys you’ve nailed the customer experience 100% !!!

This is a well placed traditional hotel. It offers basic bedroom accommodation with ensuite. Food and drink is offered by way of an independently run ”Bistro”. We only had breakfast. The bar closed at 10pm (before we returned from the play so not available to us. Breakfast was a disappoin**ent by modern European standards and also compared with the average b&b. The breakfast options were variations on a cooked breakfast with toast and the possibility of croissants or alternative french type breakfast patisserie. Cereals were limited cornflakes or similar/ Coffee was served nicely and appeared to be (and was called ) Americano i.e. not quite strong enough for the espresso lover. There was no hot milk so coffee was essentially lukewarm and weak. Muesli or fruit were absent. The scrambled eggs were overcooked. The staff were friendly and helpful but appeared overworked. Brexit and lack of alternative staff clearly taking its toll. So many ways the breakfast experience could be improved. All this is a pity because the location and the reasonably priced parking make for an ideal spot.

When I booked the hotel, I wrote a parking lot. I didn’t go there. I have to pay another 9.5 pounds to the nearby parking lot. The service is not good. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 rooms. On the first night, we told the front desk that we wanted to change the second night. 1 is not changed.

My mother and I checked in to Jury's Hotel Swindon for what was to be a short two-day stay for a convention. Due to a medical emergency and then us both falling ill, our two day stay turned into a seven day one. Jury's became our home away from home and couldn't have been better. The staff were all extremely supportive and kind given our unfortunate situation. I didn't catch anyone's name, but I wanted to especially thank two members of staff who helped me with my mother when she fell very ill and needed to go to the emergency room. The two ladies went above and beyond their usual work duties without any hesitation. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude and I certainly hope their supervisors recognize the amazing staff they are so fortunate to have. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a great view of Swindon, which is a charming town. Especially old town Swindon, just up the street from the hotel. It's centrally located on many major bus lines and is a short walk from the bus station. The buffet breakfast was absolutely delicious, as was every meal we had from the restaurant. My only complaint is that the room did not have a mini-fridge or microwave, which would have been extremely convenient for us, but we were able to eat just fine between the food delivery apps available and the hotel restaurant. I wish every hotel was Jury's Inn Swindon caliber. Well done. 👏

Good location but accommodation very disappointing, the so called ”delux double” was tiny with not even enough space to get past the end and side of the bed. Bathroom also tiny! A real shame, pics are very misleading.

We stayed here using a golf break deal that they had on at the time - just over £100 each for a night in the hotel, 2 rounds of golf, a 2-course dinner and a breakfast. That alone was really good value for money! When we arrived, they upgraded our room for free as it hadn't been filled - first example of amazing customer service! The dinner menu and the food was amazing, and we have decided to come back just for the chance of ordering something different next time. We found the curry a bit too spicy and they offered us a free dessert to make up for it - second example of amazing customer service! The rooms are impeccable, spacious and clean. Good beds. The golf course is thoughtfully designed, although the greens are very unforgiving! We enjoyed the challenge. We did not use the spa facilities on our stay.

We had a stopover in Swindon so that we could travel to Stonehenge for my wife’s birthday. I asked the hotel in advance to do something to mark the occasion, which they did very well. When we checked in, the room had balloons and happy birthday messages all around the room. Another thing that impressed me was the breakfast. I have just been to a Premier Inn hotel in London on business at the time of writing this review. While Premier Inn offers slightly more variety in their breakfast foods, the quality of food in this Holiday Inn Express is exceptional, light years ahead of Premier Inn. Well done, Holiday Inn Express Swindon West!

We needed an overnight to break our journey on the M4. This was ideal. Quick, friendly check-in with hot brealfast pre-ordered. Room and bed OK for what we paid (but would have liked two pillows and more tea bags.) Bathroom was spotlessly clean and the shower good though lacking a grab rail over the bath. Breakfast buffet was well stocked and hot breakfast nicely cooked. Large well lit car park with CCTV. We would use this hotel again.

I booked this hotel for a weekend break to celebrate our friends 40th wedding anniversary, and having read some of the recent reviews I was a tad worried to say the least , so here’s my take and opinion including other reviews . During the booking process and subsequent communication with the reception and booking staff , I can only say it was exceptional and first class . On arrival we were warmly greeted and checked in to our rooms , the approach to the hotel is very nice , reception was spacious and clean . Our two rooms were next door to each other and both were spacious and clean ( no sign of cob webs or dirty items as other reviews has stated ) one of the rooms ( our friends ) did have an issue with one flickering light and one bedside light not working plus only one hand towel. My friend reported this and a Bath towel was supplied straight away ( no hand towel available) and the reception did day she had no maintenance on site , but would endeavour to get the lights addressed the next day , unfortunately this did not happen . However as my friends said it wasn’t the end of the world and didn’t detract from their stay but it would need addressing before new guests used the room . Breakfast was buffet style and was good it had a cooked option , which was replenished quite frequently so sometimes a slight wait for all options to be available but imo didn’t cause an issue and meant all cooked items were fresh, toast, cereal , pastries, fruit juices and teas and coffee all available too. On the Friday we had dinner in the restaurant after pre drinks in the bar . The bar area and drinks were fine albeit some items requested were not available, no Tia Maria , no floater coffees ( post dinner ) , prices were the unusual hotel type prices 20-40% dearer than pubs so no shock there ( other reviews questioned prices ) The dinner in the restaurant was very good, food was a good quality and well prepared and presented ( again based on previous reviews I wasn’t expecting this ) if you read any of my other reviews you will know I am a foodie so I only praise food when it’s justified. Service was good until the dessert ( found out later , some agency staff were used in the restaurant) we ordered a hot desert but wanted ice cream with it as well , so effectively ordered two desserts for three of us , and that seemed to confuse one of the servers who grunted when he only brought out one ice cream dessert , when we asked for the other two , however he was in the minority and the rest of the servers and staff were excellent. On the Saturday evening I had booked a local restaurant for dinner ( see separate review ) and we used the local taxi firm ‘ Chris’s ‘ who is partly retained by the hotel , and he delivered us and collected us from our restaurant at a set hotel rate ( very reasonable). On checking out I had an in-depth discussion with the duty manageress about our experience and how much we had enjoyed it albeit with a couple of hiccups.
