Pub details last checked September 2026.
Burford earns “gateway to the Cotswolds” honestly — it’s the first proper Cotswold stone town travelling west from Oxford, and its high street drops steeply down The Hill to a medieval bridge over the River Windrush. The town is compact enough to see in an afternoon, which is exactly why its pubs get busy on any decent weekend.
All three of our Burford listings — the Lamb Inn, the Prince of Burford and the Angel — are genuine coaching inns with a working bar, not hotels that added one for the brochure. The Lamb Inn is the most decorated of the three, with two AA Rosettes; the Prince of Burford is the newest refurbishment; the Angel is the smallest, with just three rooms.
None of Burford’s pubs with rooms advertises its own parking, which is worth knowing before you drive in — the streets are steep and mostly on-street, with a public car park a short walk from the centre.

Destination dining
Dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant at dinner, but are welcome in the bar — worth asking if food's served there if you want to eat together.
