Great location. The young front of house personnel, led by the excellent manager, Amy, were charming, friendly and very helpful upon our check in. The room we stayed in was smaller, but that would be expected of a 400 year old building that had undergone a top notch renovation. The outdoor gardens were lush and spacious. The pub and the adjoining dining room seemed to attract a nice mix of locals and travelers. We had heard about the young 29 year old chef and co-owner of The Lamb Inn. He did not disappoint. We had a sophisticated dinner and it turned out to be the best meal of our trip. We hope to come back. staff. Excellent dining.

Well for a pub its tge most comfortable I've stayed in. Lively specious room with character. Nice touches such as Molton brown in the bathroom. Fluffy towels. Stand alone deep bath and a shower. The service is excellent. Lovely breakfast. Cant comment on dinner as we dudnt eat here but if it's as nice as everything else I'm sure it's good.

We were passing Burford and I suggested we pop into one of my old favourite pubs for a drink, I used to use this pub a lot from about 20 years ago until 5 years ago when I changed jobs.
We were peckish but as a full evening meal was planned we only wanted something light.
Well something light was what we got!
The attached photos show the 4.5 pieces of scampi that we were served for £11:50 and the small portion of squid for £12:00.
I queried the small portions but especially the scampi with the barman/manager and was told that these are the designated portion sizes from Fuller’s Brewery (the owners) head office. I said I honestly thought the chef had run out of scampi and just sent out what he had left! So if you decide to have Scampi (which was ok) here just be prepared that you are going to pay £2:50 per piece, which I think even in highly priced ‘gastro’ pubs is outrageous.
We sat in the garden which whilst a lovely walled setting with comfortable high quality furniture was sadly let down by being covered in weeds in the flower beds.
This gem of a pub could really do a lot better.
I very much doubt we will visit again.

While the Inn is very charming, the guest rooms lack comfort. There is no air conditioning at the Lamb Inn, and the sun beats down on this wooden structure all day in the summer, so I found myself sweltering in my tiny room at the top. The room was very small and I ended up just opening my suitcase on the floor since there was no room to unpack. I thought that there was no safe, but then the last day, I discovered it was in the back of the closet, attached to the floor. To use it, I would have had to lay down on the floor to see the access keys and open it. The closet had items supplied by the hotel stored in a random manner. We had one dinner while we were there and the servings were generous. Breakfast was unremarkable. There was a nice garden in the back of the Inn with tables which was a pleasant place to sit once it started to cool off in the evening.

We had a 2 night stay (me and the dog). I found the room excellent standards, Very comfy large bed with feather or duck down duvet and pillows. Very clean. Amazing rainfall shower with great pressure and very hot. However no fridge (luckily only 2 nights as I was with my dog and feed her raw but I'm more than sure if asked they would accommodate)
I didn't realise breakfast was included... bonus! It was 'continental' (cereals, toast, croissants) I don't remember what else as the croissants were amazing with the available marmalade (there were also jams and honey) err I also had the full English (was great except I'm a sucker for beans and they weren't there) I will state that it is 5 star in my opinion even though I didn't eat the steak dinner due to it being over salty but as a hospitality host I know chefs do love the salt, I offered to pay but they refused outright which is amazing to see! Great outdoor space and of course dog friendly throughout 🐾
Close proximity to Didly Squat and the Wildlife Park. Great walking area too in a quaint little village.
Will definitely be returning!!!

Sign on the door said “no walk ins due to staff shortages”. Should have turned around then. ||Decor of the place was very nice. Very few people in the restaurant during our visit, we were the first to arrive at 12:15pm.||The Sunday roast at 26 pounds each was a disaster. - beef was tough, cauliflower overcooked, potatoes not crispy, squash portion very small portion. Food temp was tepid at best. Yorkshire puddings were ok but likely to be a premade “aunt Bessie” kind of thing.||Nobody came to the table to ask how things were during our meal and like a hungry idiot I ate the meal and paid the bill at the end with complaints to the server who took the payment and apologized.||Not a good experience at all.

A fantastic experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and full of character, with views of the street. Breakfast was delicious. The location is perfect—peaceful and picturesque, yet close to the main sights. We would love to come back and recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
