Greyhounds is a bed and breakfast at 19-23 Sheep Street in Burford, on the quiet, tree-lined street that runs off the High Street a minute's walk from the centre of the town.
The house has a long history: according to the owners it was built for a wool merchant in the 15th century, later became an inn and then a Temperance Hotel, and was restored as a home in 1908. From 1949 until 2003 it was where The Countryman magazine, founded by J.W. Robertson Scott, was published, and a blue plaque on the front of the building commemorates him.
Guests enter through a courtyard hallway, partly open to the sky and filled with antiques and vintage collections, which leads up to a sunny south-facing garden. Arrival and departure times are flexible, and breakfast is served by the host, Michael.
Sheep Street takes its name from the sheep markets once held there, and its stone townhouses date from the 15th to the 18th centuries. The Tolsey Museum is about 75 metres away, and Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens is a short drive south of the town.
