Pet-friendly summary
Tannery Cottage is a quaint self-catering cottage on Witney Street in the centre of Burford, a historic Cotswolds market town. Its enclosed garden and central position make it a handy dog-friendly base for exploring the area.
The feature dog owners consistently pick out is the garden. Guests travelling with a dog describe it as a genuinely dog-friendly spot, with the garden giving a dog somewhere of its own while you are right in the middle of Burford for walks along the River Windrush and into the Cotswolds countryside. The cottage has comfortable beds and plenty of period charm.
It is on the compact side, so a larger party may feel the pinch, and one recent guest was disappointed by a damp, musty smell in the sitting room linked to a roof leak that was being repaired during their stay, so it is worth checking the current state of any repairs when you book. As with many older Cotswolds cottages, the finish is characterful rather than pristine.
For dog owners who want a central, garden-equipped Burford base and don't mind a cosy, characterful cottage, Tannery Cottage is worth a look.
