This has to be the most beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds. The owners have put so much effort into restoring it back to the original from the 1700s with all mod cons. It is just stunning but very cosy with open fires and a lovely garden. The cottage is also spotless, The town is beautiful and quaint and everything is on your doorstep. The pubs and cafes are fantastic. Parking is ample around the streets but you don’t really need a car. I cannot wait to return.

We LOVED this cottage and would highly recommend for anyone who would like a lovely cotswold cottage with character and short walking distance to the local shops and restaurants.
This cottage really couldn't have been anymore perfect for us. It has 3 nice sized bedrooms, a sitting room with dining table and separate lounge, all really nicely put together, and the house itself has beautiful details in the stone work. It also has a well equipped kitchen, and a lovely outside courtyard.
What we also loved was that you can walk just a few doors up and be on the high street where there are coffee shops, gift shops, bookstores, restaurants, traditional country pubs. On top of that a short drive to many attractions and things to do.
I truly loved this property and my family and I had a wonderful week.

Beautiful cottage with every amenity.. Situation perfect, near to the centre of Burford but very quiet. Only quibble is that there is no real on street parking by the cottage but the free carpark is close.

Bull Cottage was perfect: clean, comfortable, close to everything, easily reached by public transport, and an architectural delight.. I have stayed in more than 100 self-catered accommodations over the last 30 years and Bull Cottage is my favorite.

We had a fantastic week at this lovely cottage.. Full of character and a joy to be able to live in for the week. Very close by to all that Burford has to offer and literally next door to the Pub. We will 100% be returning.

This house is very well equipped, well maintained, and very nicely furnished.. The kitchen is well equipped. The bathrooms and bedrooms are generous and the beds are very comfortable. The location, 1/2 block from the High Street, makes it easy and quick to run to the Co-op for groceries. The fireplaces work well.

We have stayed in hundreds of hotels and holiday rentals over the years in many countries and this has to be up there with the best! Such an utterly charming cottage in a great location, wonderfully equipped, and comfy beds too. We could not fault it. The cottage was even decorated beautifully for Christmas which gave this Aussie family that most magical family Christmas that we won’t forget! The service and communication by Manor Cottages was also first rate!

Bull Cottage was a great place to stay in Burford.. The Cottage was very well presented and spacious. Because of the age of the cottage it had so much character that has been thoughtfully preserved. The location was perfect and within very close walking distance ro the main Street of Burford and all of the facilities provided there. There are 2 pubs close by, .both providing good quality meals and country ambience without any associated noise. We would highly recommend Bull Cottage for groups of up to 6 persons.
