Bay Tree Hotel Shortlist*
Burford, Oxfordshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
Forged from a row of 17th-century houses, this prettily refurbished hotel is a charming mix of flagstone floors, ancient beams and ‘immaculate’ modern bedrooms. Past the wisteria-festooned arch, there are huge open fireplaces and a grand galleried staircase; everywhere, the ‘endlessly pleasant, helpful and efficient’ staff make visitors feel very welcome. In a flourish of florals, checks and tweeds, bedrooms have ‘good lighting’ and a ‘large, comfortable bed’. Guests with a dog should ask for a garden room with outdoor access. There are local ales, light meals and board games in the bar; in the restaurant, ‘delicious’ modern British cuisine. Part of the Fuller’s portfolio; see also The Swan, Bibury (Shortlist entry).

I stayed for three nights as part of a group learning about and listening too chamber music of Schubert and Mozart. I had an enormous room with a spacious bathroom. I was grateful for someone to carry my case There was good lighting throughout. All the food was delicious and the only difficulty was choosing what one could bear to miss eating. The staff was endlessly pleasant, helpful and efficient. ’
