Murton Cottage in Burford is a charming and well-appointed property, praised for its excellent location, comfort, and character. Guests have enjoyed the cosy atmosphere, convenient access to local amenities, and the property's historical features. While some guests mentioned traffic noise and minor maintenance issues, the overall experience has been positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, though there were isolated comments about finding toenails in the bath, crumbs in a bed, and socks from previous guests. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its convenience and proximity to local attractions. However, several guests noted that traffic noise can be an issue, particularly in the top floor bedroom, which has affected the score slightly.
Guests have consistently remarked on the comfort of the beds and the cosy feel of the cottage. The property's charm adds to the overall comfort, making it a relaxing stay for many, despite some comments about noise.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a modern kitchen and powerful shower. However, guests have suggested improvements such as the addition of a coffee machine and a dryer. There were also comments about maintenance issues like a broken shower head and a problematic front door lock.

Murton Cottage is a historic property situated at the bottom of Burford's High Street - truly one of the most iconic Cotswold settings. The cottage is Grade II listed and has a long history which dates back many hundreds of years. Internally, the property has been renovated and thoughtfully decorated with your ultimate comfort in mind, while still retaining its original period features that make it a truly exceptional country cottage. Offering a gorgeous sitting / dining room with two sofas, 43'' Smart Ultra HD TV and a dining table for 6 guests, a place you can curl up after a long day and enjoy the effects of the woodburning stove. With a cosy bookcase full of books to choose from. The well equipped kitchen has a range of wall and base units, and everything you could need to create mouth watering dishes. Venture upstairs for the bedrooms, which consist of one Hypnos super kingsize (or twin - please specify at time of booking your preference) complete with smart 43'' Ultra HD TV and one twin room, as well as a family bathroom, with roll top bath and separate walk-in shower on the first floor. On the second floor you will find the master suite, with Hypnos king size bed and en-suite shower room. Outside has a private courtyard area, with a table and chairs (and a fabulous feature - the original well, which is now illuminated and safely blocked) , so you can sit out and enjoy the stunning setting, while your pets run around and play. Off the courtyard there is a stone built outbuilding, where you will find additional cold storage, in the form of an upright fridge / freezer. Roadside parking is available in close proximity to the cottage. This property is ideally located in the centre of this quintessential Cotswold town, with a range of local pubs, restaurants and shops to indulge in literally on your door step. Further afield, why not visit the equally famous destinations of Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water and Chipping Norton - all less than 10 miles away. If you want something a little more peaceful, then why not visit the stunning Blenheim Palace and stroll around in Winston Churchill's footsteps (about 25 minutes away). Murton Cottage is an idyllic setting in the centre of this bustling Cotswolds destination.
Burford, Oxfordshire has many local attractions such as its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.
