Your hotel experience at the edge of one of premier Cotswold destinationsHistory....Burford Lodge was built c1814, most probably as an elegant country residence for a local businessman, and was the first property to be built alongside what was then a new road.
By 1844, it was The Birds Nest public house, and, in 1864 became The Oxford.
Soon afterwards, called Oxford House, it was the private residence of Thomas Henry Reynolds who wrote hymns, edited a hymn book, and was financially involved in the Burford brewery and a number of local utilities.
He renamed the house High View, and this name remained when, c1930, it was once more converted to trade as The High View Private Hotel.
Later, the liberally-minded Sharpe family, conservationists, musicians and naturists, operated The High View as a bed and breakfast establishment with a caravan site attached.
Their business continued until the 1960s, after which it was known for a while as The Winters Tale.
Since then, the building has been one of the properties in the estate of a national brewery.
The business was bought in 2004 by Graham and Paula Cox.

Directions
Burford Lodge is situated on the A40 between Cheltenham and Oxford, on the south side of the road, about 300 yards east of the intersection between the A40 and the A361 that runs through the centre of Burford. The hotel has its own car park, which can accommodate up to 30 vehicles. We are situated on two major through roads: one crosses the south Cotswolds, and the other links central Wiltshire with Northamptonshire. Burford Lodge is only 9 miles from the A429 that cuts through the centre of the Cotswolds. This means that we can easily be reached by organisations in the area who want to arrange away-days for their executives, and the hotel is ideally situated for private visitors who want to explore the region.
