The original period features of the 16th century Bay Tree Hotel, Burford, are still dominant. Oak-panelled public rooms, bare stone walls and original stone fireplaces, including an inglenook fireplace, provide a textured canvas upon which rich fabrics, woven tapestries and antiques have been laid down with exquisite flair.
An oak staircase leads to the bedrooms, each having individual character and decorated in warm traditional colours with fine, often antique, furniture for a true country feel. The bedrooms are all non-smoking and have flat-screen televisions and bathrooms generously stocked with complimentary Molton Brown luxury products.
The award-winning candle-lit Bay Tree Restaurant with its tapestries, flagstone floor and original leaded windows, overlooking the patio and garden, give an elegant, country feel. Here you can relax and enjoy the finest in traditional and modern English cooking prepared from the freshest local produce.
The patio adjacent to the restaurant, provides an alternative venue for the enjoyment of a meal. Alternatively, lighter meals can be enjoyed in the hotel's country-style Woolsack Bar.
The Woolsack Bar at the Bay Tree Hotel and the cosy adjoining hotel library are the ideal places to sink into comfortable armchairs and relax with a newspaper or select a good book to read from the library, take afternoon tea or enjoy coffee & liqueurs in front of the open log fires.
In Summer, enjoy the tranquillity of the secluded walled garden for an evening stroll, or to relax with a refreshing drink or even play a game of croquet. The rose and lavender bushes are especially notable for their perfumes, which mingle as they waft through the garden.
