Burford hotel changes hands
The Golden Pheasant, a Grade II-listed hotel in Burford, Oxon, has new owners.
The centuries-old inn built from Cotswold stone fronts the town's High Street and attracts a good mix of tourist and local trade.
The two-star property offers 10 bedrooms which are doubles or twins, including two four posters, nine en-suite rooms and a 10th room with a private bathroom.
The flagstone-floored bar leads on to a bar lounge with a stone fireplace fitted with a log-burning stove, the restaurant, and the Aga private party room. The bar lounge and restaurant can seat between 50 and 60 diners.
There are two en-suite double bedrooms for staff on the ground floor, along with a two-bedroom staff cottage and a two-bedroom owners' cottage with a private patio.
New owners Ian and Nicola Robertson have commenced a major refurbishment programme and retained chef Tim Jones, who built up a reputation for his home-cooked food.
The Cirencester office of Colliers Robert Barry sold the leasehold off a guide price of £195,000.
