  Bull Cottage is just wonderful.

  The sense of history is astonishing, the decor comfortable and stylish. Both bedrooms were very generous. The kitchen was well-equipped, though might have done with an electric mixer, candlesticks and some cloth napkins, but these are minor points. The dish washer and washing machine were of good quality. Our stay was from mid January to mid February, so we didn't use the back garden but could imagine how charming it would be in fine weather. Just next door to the Angel pub, in which we enjoyed having drinks and a few meals, we were surprised by how quiet it was. Our guests invariably said that there were good vibes in the bones of the house. We agreed. The location was perfect for us, just off the high street, yet a two or three minute walk to the countryside with rolling hills and farmland. Manor Cottages does a great job managing the cottage On the first day we couldn't find the compost container and were flummoxed by the modern shower upstairs. Almost immediately someone came around to help. We rented the cottage for a month and were so pleased with the weekly bed linen change and tidy up of the cottage. The young women who came were lovely and conscientious. That was a huge plus as we had a few couples and our grown children at the weekends. If I have one suggestion, it would be that the mattresses (at least in the bedroom with the TV) could use a topper. And the pillows were a bit flat. Easy fixes to make a fantastic cottage perfect. We do hope to rent Bull Cottage again.

  We had a lovely few days break in 5 Burford Mews.

  The apartment was fitted and furnished to a very high standard and was an excellent base from which to explore Burford and the Cotswolds. The lounge was spacious, light and very comfortable for relaxing in on lazy, late mornings or in the evenings. Beds were very comfortable with lovely soft pillows and duvets that kept us just warm enough but not too hot like many duvets in hotels. Showers were really good with plenty of hot water. The kitchen was nicely laid out although we didn't do much, if any, cooking so can't comment on the usability of the oven, etc! The property was really clean and well maintained and was comfortably warm and it was really good to be able to adjust the thermostats to suit ourselves. I'm sure we will return if/when we next fancy a break in the Cotswolds.

  Overall we had a lovely time but I think the listing should draw attention to the fact that this property is not really suitable for old people who are unsteady on their feet and young children.

  The floor in the entrance room is very uneven and there are lots of steps upstairs and down which could trip people up. The parking situation is definitely a nightmare. Saying parking is on street and unrestricted is misleading as there is little nearby without double yellow lines and we always had to park at a distance as there were never any spaces. The town car park in Burford restricts parking for more than 12 hours in any 24 hour period so is not suitable for residential use. We took the risk but may have been lucky. Finally we suggest more attention to maintaining the courtyard and its furniture. I had to clean the furniture when we arrived as it was dirty and the area looked neglected. Such a pity when it could be a lovely feature. This can be easily rectified of course.

  We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful old 13th century cottage with all its quirky features including the uneven flagstones in parts of the dining room floor.

  Very smooth and shiny after years of wear which had sunken a little. We felt we were living in a bit of history. We did not find the floor a problem at all but I guess some elderly people might. The kitchen was well stocked even for someone who bakes and it was relaxing sitting in the courtyard. I did water the plants as we were having a very dry spell and some pots were dying. The bedrooms were lovely, spacious with comfortable beds and several fans were provided for the hot weather. The parking was not problematic- two roads around the corner had parking spaces and there is a free Car park three minutes walk away. We loaded and unloaded in the double yellow lines outside. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

  Great cottage and very well equipped.

  Being January, it was nice to have the woodburning stove, albeit no starter logs on our arrival. (This and a few other issues were addressed early on day two.) Unfair that we weren't warned about the major building works going on right next door. (I know it's in the TCs that you cannot be held responsible for noise from neighbours or construction works, but it would have been great to have a heads up rather than being woken at 7am by rocks being thrown into a skip right next to the bedroom window.) Unfortunately on street parking was an issue for us with 2 cars, luckily you can unload right outside the cottage. Burford is a lovely town with many places to eat and drink and we all enjoyed ourselves.
