Highway Burford sits right on Burford's High Street, putting you in an excellent position to explore this important gateway town to the Cotswolds.
The High Street itself is genuinely worth your time — it's a wide, gently sloping street of honey-coloured stone buildings that descends towards the River Windrush, lined with independent shops, cafes, and galleries. St John the Baptist church stands impressively along it too, and the whole street rewards a good wander.
The hotel works well as a practical base. You get a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day, plus a bar and restaurant on site if you want to unwind without leaving the building. There's real history to the location too — Burford grew up along an important coaching route, so this spot has been welcoming travellers for centuries. That tradition of hospitality continues.
From here, exploring Burford itself is easy on foot. Whether you're into browsing the independent shops and galleries or prefer a quieter walk by the river, everything's accessible. Beyond Burford, the location works brilliantly if you want to venture further. Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Stow-on-the-Wold are all within reach for day trips, so you can experience different parts of the Cotswolds while keeping one central base.
