Pet-friendly summary
Murton Cottage is a characterful period house in the middle of Burford, and its whole-house layout makes it an easy pick for a Cotswolds break with your dog. Because you have the run of the property to yourselves, there are no shared corridors or lobbies to worry about, and your dog can settle in as if it were home from home.
The property welcomes one well-behaved dog. Guests travelling with a dog tend to make the most of the woodburner after a day out, coming back from long walks to warm up by the log fire. The cottage is furnished to a high standard with traditional touches such as beams, window seats and cosy nooks, and reviewers consistently describe it as comfortable, clean and well equipped.
Location is one of the strongest reasons to bring a dog here. Murton Cottage sits right on Burford High Street, so you can walk straight out to the shops, pubs and cafes, and there are footpaths leading out into the surrounding Cotswold countryside for longer outings. Travellers without a car particularly appreciate having everything on the doorstep.
A couple of things are worth bearing in mind. The High Street can be busy with traffic during the day, and the village church clock chimes through the night, so light sleepers may notice the noise. The house also has steep, winding stairs between floors. The policy is limited to a single dog, so this is one for solo dogs rather than multi-dog households. With a warm welcome for dogs and an unbeatable village-centre setting, Murton Cottage earns a 4.5/5 paw rating.
