Bring your dog if

Worth knowing

- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 1,556 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.7/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

- A pet fee of around 20 pounds per stay applies; confirm the current amount when booking.

Pet-friendly summary
The Prince of Burford is a dog-friendly pub-with-rooms in the heart of Burford, one of the prettiest gateway towns to the Cotswolds. It is a genuinely welcoming choice for guests travelling with a dog: dogs are allowed not just in the bedrooms but in the bar too, so your four-legged companion can join you for a drink or a meal rather than being left behind.
The hotel keeps the practical side simple. One dog stays for a small charge per stay, with a second considered on request, and arriving dogs are met with bowls and a few treats. Dogs are asked to stay off the furniture, on the lead around the property and not left alone in the rooms, which are standard, sensible house rules for a busy inn.
Feedback from guests who have brought a dog is positive, with visitors highlighting the warm welcome for dogs alongside the excellent staff, the strong food (the Sunday roast is a particular favourite) and the unbeatable central location for exploring Burford and the wider Cotswolds on foot. As the pet-specific feedback rests on a small number of reports so far, treat it as an encouraging early signal rather than a long track record.
The Prince of Burford suits dog owners who want a characterful Cotswolds base with good food and a genuine dog welcome that extends to the bar, right in the middle of a classic market town. Confirm the current pet policy and charges directly with the hotel when you book.
