The Lamb Inn, Burford - Hotel Description

Winner of the Condé Nast Johansens 'Most Excellent Inn' Award (2009), this traditional English country hotel is in the heart of the Cotswolds.

In the delightful and picturesque town of Burford, The Lamb Inn is ideally placed for exploring this beautiful area.

The Lamb Inn has 17 individual bedrooms, each decorated in warm traditional colours with fine, often antique, furniture for a true country feel.

This ancient inn, originally built in 1420 as a weaver's cottages, is in complete harmony with its delightful situation in the Cotswolds. The phrase 'charming old inn' is used much too freely, but the Lamb has a genuine right to it.

Lined with trees and cool green lawns, behind which are set picturesque Cotswold limestone homes reflecting the historic affluence of the town, Sheep Street is the setting for the Lamb Inn. From its wisteria-clad walls, stone-flagged bar, charming dining room to beautifully refurbished bedrooms, the Lamb has been delightfully restored to create the comfort of today, whilst retaining the atmosphere of yesteryear.
