“Very nice cottage.”

A few a of the pictures on the listing need to be updated, as certain areas were not accessible. But these made no difference to us. Parking is rather tight, but I have a large family saloon and got there in the end! Beds were very comfortable, but rooms could do with blackout blinds. Very, very enjoyable stay, would definitely come back.

“Cottage was nice in a good location, close to the village and amenities, a ...”

Cottage was nice in a good location, close to the village and amenities, a couple of points to note, basic interior for a holiday cottage with a lack of comfort on days you had to stay in due to the uk weather, garden was lovely, and well appointed but again lacked a few basic touches, parasol and cushions, which would have been beneficial, overall a nice break and would return again

- Alan, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

“A beautiful place in a lovely setting.”

Perfect for a getaway from the city. A true representation of the old England, we were reminded that parts are still with us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Very friendly people .

Elaine May 2023

“This place is a little gem.”

Stayed with my daughters family and it was very suitable for a 2 year old. Very safe with a lovely secluded enclosed garden. It was away from the busy centre of Burford but within very easy walking distance. Very quiet. The cottage was beautifully presented and very well equipped. Overall a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. We will definitely be back.

- Elaine, May 2023

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at Muffety Cottage and in the Heart of Burford! Property Owner
Orlando February 2023

“A very nice cottage and a really excellent location, so we very much enjoyed our stay.”

Would just suggest that on the information about the cottage that it's made clear the cottage is reached on a narrow lane with a very small parking spot next to a gate and with a small turning space, as was a bit tricky to park in our larger car! But other than that a very nice stay and we were just sorry we stayed in February so couldn't enjoy the garden as much as we would in the summer.

- Orlando, February 2023

Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Muffety Cottage and loved the location too. We appreciate your comments regarding the parking and hope this didn't impact your stay. We would love to welcome you again in nicer weather! Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Jamie October 2022

“A lovely cottage in a quiet area.”

Very easy walking distance to the local pubs and shops. We were delighted with this property as two adults and one child all the facilities accomodated our needs extremely well. It is very well presented and maintained. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

David May 2022

“Absolutely perfect cottage!”

Private and quiet yet only a 5 minute walk from all the activity of Burford. This lovely place has all the conveniences that you will need, coupled with a parking space (which is worth its weight in gold in Burford!) and the most wonderful garden which is the perfect location for a quiet cup of tea. I highly recommend this total gem and will certainly plan to book it again for my next trip.

- David, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and made use of the facilities available, we are delighted you enjoyed your feedback and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Manor cottages Property Owner

Judith April 2021

“Had a problem with shower.”

Efficiently solved by team at Sykes! A lovely cottage in a good location but a few simple improvements needed in the kitchen ...... A better range of saucepan sizes , casseroles and cooking knives required. Dishwasher not useful - too small to fit dinner plates !!!! Dishwasher gunged up /dirty on arrival and much of kitchenware needed washing before use! Overall a lovely stay !

- Judith, April 2021

We are pleased the shower was efficently solved and apologise that you had to encounter this. We have passed the improvements onto the owner and house keeping has been addressed. We are pleased you had a lovely stay overall. Manor Cottages Property Owner
Stephanie April 2021

“Great space in Burford.”

Lovely cottage with a garden. There were great facilities and we were provided with milk and tea. We had to re-wash all the dishes in the cupboard that were not clean. I would rethink the cleaning service the cottage uses.

- Stephanie, April 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay at Muffety Cottage. We will look into the cleanliness issues raised. Manor Cottages Property Owner
Dave September 2020

“Good cottage.”

Good location.

- Dave, September 2020
Sharon September 2020

“Burford is a lovely place and would suggest a visit.”

This cottage had issues, particularly with cleanliness. Sykes quickly stepped in but we left early. The owner needs to be more involved to keep an eye on the cleaning standards. Compared to other cottages we have rented in the Cotswolds the facilities here are basic. The sofas in the sitting room are particularly uncomfortable. With some involvement of the owner and improved cleanliness this could be a good place to stay. One word of caution, the parking space for visitors is small so is not suitable for a large car. We drive a Honda CRV and pulling out a large car in a tiny lane is not the easiest. After making our complaint Sykes acted professionally and the owner made a small refund and apologised for the poor standard of cleanliness

- Sharon, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the property was not up to the high standards we aim to provide. We shall look into all the issues raised to ensure future guests have a pleasurable experience. Property Owner
Joanna October 2019

“Lovely cottage , clean and comfortable with lovely little secluded garden.”

Please be aware that the ceiling above bathtub with overhead shower is very low. My husband is over 6ft tall and didn't fit in.

- Joanna, October 2019
Ian August 2019

“Almost perfect.”

Lovely picturesque cottage in quiet rural location yet less than10mins walk from Burford Hight St. Private walled garden is an added bonus. A couple of deep comfy armchairs or sofa to flop into at the end of the day would make this the perfect cottage. The existing furniture is not too comfortable for an evening in with a good book and a glass of wine.

- Ian, August 2019
Stuart August 2019

“Great holiday in a very comfortable cottage.”

Ideally placed in a quiet cul-de-sac but within 10 minutes walk of the town center. Burford itself is a really nice small town, visibly attractive & a great mix of ships.

- Stuart, August 2019
Steve June 2019

“No clear recycling or trash disposal dates.”

Beds comfortable but seating (couch back too low) for any extended sitting (especially reading). Would have been nice to have a CD player. Very nice overall and enjoyed our visit.

- Steve, June 2019
Padraic May 2019

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

It was a 'home from home' and had everything we needed. The garden was a peaceful retreat in the evenings. We enjoyed walks around Burford and the surrounding countryside and the information provided in the welcome pack was very useful. Burford is a very good base for exploring The Cotswolds.

- Padraic, May 2019
Claire May 2019

“Fabulous location with Burford village and great pubs on your doorstep.”

Perfect for couples and families. Provided a baby cot and highchair. Beautiful cottage although slightly dated inside.

- Claire, May 2019
Rachel April 2019

“The Cottage is absolutely perfect, really lovely, had everything we needed for a perfect stay, location is perfect.”

Thank you so much we hope to be back again soon Kind regards from Spain

Maryann December 2018

“Lovely property.”

Cosy, comfortable and well-maintained. Booking was easy and info provided by the host was excellent. The back door key was missing from the lockbox - therefore we didn’t have access to the garden and bins. We informed the host by email but did not have a response (it was over the Christmas period.) Overall this was not too much of an inconvenience and we would not hesitate to return.

- Maryann, December 2018

We apologise that the back door key was not at the property. Unfortunately no communication was received regarding this issue. This has now been addressed and we look forward to the possibility of welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

The property

With a name like Muffety Cottage, you'd expect this to be just as it sounds - and it is very cute!

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Burford High Street, Muffety is an attractive and comfortable holiday home in one of the Cotswolds best known and popular locations.

Sitting in the grounds of the owners' home (they're very private so you won't be uninterrupted) the cottage is in great condition hidden away but very convenient for all that the location offers.

Inside it is spotlessly clean and very welcoming, and very well equipped for a short or long stay - for couples or for a family.

Upstairs there are two good sized bedrooms each with great views to Burford, while downstairs is a kitchen/diner and Living Room each beautifully presented.

For visiting Burford and for touring the Cotswolds there are few better locations than this - after all there are some superb pubs around the corner and a few top-notch cafes too.

A great place for a Cotswolds getaway. Please note this property has a Good House Keeping Bond of £50, this will be shadowed at the time of booking.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.

About the location

BURFORD

Swinbrook 2.4 miles; Little Barrington 3.5 miles; Minster Lovell 5.6 miles.

Burford is possibly one of, if not the most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, it is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located midway between Oxford and Cheltenham, it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit. The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. 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. History awaits! With little change over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and tea shops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudeley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all within ten miles.

Please note this property has a Good House Keeping Bond of £50, this will be shadowed at the time of booking.

PLEASE NOTE- The bathroom has been recently renovated and there is no longer a bath. Awaiting new images.
