Bay Tree Hotel Review

This is the best and most atmospheric of Burford's many interesting old inns. The house was built for Sir Lawrence Tanfield, the unpopular lord chief baron of the exchequer to Elizabeth I. The house has oak-paneled rooms with stone fireplaces and a high-beamed hall with a minstrel's gallery. Modern comforts have been discreetly installed in the tastefully furnished rooms, some of which have four-poster beds. Some of the accommodations are in a comfortable annex, though the chambers in the main building -- nine in all -- have more character. Try to get a room overlooking the terraced gardens at the rear of the house.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
