Gorgeous cosy property in the heart of Burford in the heart of the Cotswolds - was so easy to visit everything we wanted to see from the hotel along with Burford being ideal with the main street of shops, pubs, eateries, bakery & more at the end of the road! All of the staff in every area of the hotel were friendly, helpful & professional … breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices hot + cold … we had dinner the 1st night which was very good too! Must mention Max & Alana who were brilliant as we had left something behind when we checked out & they swiftly located the item & posted it back to us the following day - amazing service, nothing was too much trouble - so needless to say we were impressed by the property & people throughout our 3 night stay & beyond! Highly recommend!

Cosy, classic Burford hotel with charm

The Bay Tree is a lovely, cosy Cotswolds hotel nestled in the heart of Burford with a classic charm. Some comments from our stay: the first room we checked into (Leaford) had the fire escape door which wasn’t ideal and the toilet took many pumps to flush. The mattress was also very springy and not comfortable. However we spoke to reception the next morning and they kindly moved us to Swinbrook which was overall a much nicer room with a more comfortable bed and the toilet worked. However it was above the kitchen I believe so during the middle of the night you could hear the generator lightly whirring. Breakfast service on our first morning could have been better (I think one of the staff members was new), and we were disappointed that by 8:30am (breakfast starts at 8, but we arrived 30 mins later) all of the pain au chocolat pastries had been finished by guests. Given it was a BH weekend, we were not too impressed that they hadn’t accommodated for more over the weekend and to run out so early into breakfast. Otherwise, we really enjoyed dinner at the restaurant and the food and service was very good. Thank you to the receptionist who helped us swap our room without issue

Great central location and beautiful hotel building. The atmosphere is chilled out and informal and the room we had was exceptional. This is an expensive area and so expect prices to reflect this, that said you get what you pay for - the Cotswolds is a busy, but stunning location. We will definitely be returning. Thanks Bay Tree for a great memorable stay.
