Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I visited today with my family and a (small) dog. We have been here a few times with our pet. Usually when it's warmer and have been in the rear garden. Due to how cold it was outside we sat inside. I ordered some hot...drinks. I asked to pay for my drinks and my cake when I ordered (that's fine) and to take my cake back to my table. No quibble. The member of staff asked other customers that had recently seated that 'you have to wait' in a rude voice. The drinks arrived, the member of staff saw our dog and said they're not a pet friendly establishment in a rude voice. I said we have been here a number of times and always been welcomed. She said that's untrue. I was going to request a refund because of being displeased. I didn't want to argue and asked for the hot drinks to be put in a takeaway cups and the cake in a box. When she returned she said she's been working in the coffee shop for the last 9 years in a rude voice and then changed her stance on the coffee shop being pet friendly. It's pet friendly at the front and rear garden. Why have you now changed your stance when I said we previously sat in the rear garden? Terrible customer service, absolutely rude and the drinks had no flavour. Maybe this was lost in the cardboard cups they are served in? Disappointed with the customer services from the lady considering I have been here for the last 10 years!More

Met our son in Burford as it's halfway between where we both live. Had coffee first of all, then went back for lunch. Very friendly staff. We all had Brie, bacon and cranberry sandwiches. Delicious, with loads of filling. Lots of like minded people dropping...in while we were there. Very clean toilets outside at the back on way to outdoor seating area.More

We stayed overnight here to visit the Cotswold Wildlife Park. Lovely place - rooms are small but very clean - room could do with a small table for coffee/tea facilities and maybe slightly bigger glasses for water. We had breakfast in the tea rooms and...as a coeliac the gluten free options were very good - pile of toast, scrambled egg and bacon - delicious and a perfect cup of tea would definitely recommend. Also 20% off the bill if you have stayed over.More

My husband and I visited this lovely establishment with my brother - who was over from the USA, for 2 nights. We should have been on holiday in Lanzarote but due to family illness this had to be cancelled. Burford is my favourite destination in...the Cotswolds. The Priory Tearoom is a delightful place. Our room had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable, the decor was delightful and the wet room was compact but very nice. I slept like a log!! There is a patio area to sit out if the weather is good. We ate breakfast in the tearoom, this is charged separately. We had full English breakfast and it was very good. The tea was just as we like it - strong!! It certainly set us up for the day. On day two I had the scone and jam and tea whilst the men had poached egg on toast / once again it was delicious. The owners were very friendly and helpful, the staff were also very chatty and kind. We will definitely visit again and I am considering purchasing an overnight stay as a gift for my sons and their wives as I know they would also enjoy it very much. There are loads of places to visit nearby, Burford garden centre is lovely, we went to Bibury which is simply beautiful, Chipping Camden and Stowe on the Wold. A lovely break which relieved the stress for a couple of days.More

Visited this establishment on our last visit a few years back when we enjoyed breakfast on several days. Returned recently and nothing has changed - thankfully. This time we opted for the "special" of warm croissant with cheese and bacon plus coffee all for a...fiver!! Still warm, clean and very welcoming. The Waitress who served us both days was SO friendly and polite - a credit to the place! We'll be back!!More

Overnight stay. Room extremely small but just about large enough. Rooms 1-5 are terraced chalet style rooms and ours had an en-suite bathroom . Only one bedside cabinet as room too small for one each side. Bed was very uncomfortable- felt every movement of partner....But room was very clean and was adequate for one night. Breakfast was extra but very good. The staff were very welcoming and friendlyMore

Seems to be the only cafe in Bourton that opens before 10am on a Sunday. Thus very busy on Sunday moning so service not rapid. Good food. Great Hot Chocolate with Cream & Marshmallows.
