The Angel at Burford

Very sweet hotel. Very attentive staff. Comfortable rooms. Only 3 rooms- we took them all. Note that the rooms are above the bar and restaurant so they can be a little noisy. Excellent location just off Burford high street. Lovely food but book in advance

I was excited to visit this pub however when I arrived as a solo patron I was quickly relegated to the back room next to an area/table where things were being stored and not another person in sight. No working fireplace and zero warmth and ambiance. There were tables open in the front room which had two fireplaces and the cozy atmosphere I was really looking forward to. Initially I thought those tables were reserved or saved for guests but it became clear they were not. In fact, even more tables opened up and I spent my entire meal alone in the back next to a stack of “stuff” that shouldn’t have been there at all much less if they were planning on seating any guests back there.. other than taking my order, I was basically ignored. I suspect it will be suggested that I should have asked for a different table. However, I shouldn’t have had to. Furthermore, the vibe the waiter/host was giving off suggested such a request would have been a complete annoyance and possibly rejected.. In this situation I wanted to assess how people treat solo women travelers without having to be told how they should. have read many stories where solo female travelers are treated this way. I am relatively new to solo travel and this was as disappointing as it comes. That being said the food was very good-the experience however was not .

Wonderful stay with wonderful food Wonderful stay - excellent service from very friendly staff, really lovely room at the front of the hotel - nice and large, spotlessly clean with bathroom that was great as it had a bath. Dinner and breakfast were excellent - such good quality tasty food and reasonably priced - lovely atmosphere in the bar. Great beer garden at the rear which we didn't get a chance to use as the weather was not kind. Sorry to leave this place - will be back
