Cotswolds Retreats

Wysdom Hall, a Grade II Listed home set in the heart of Burford, is surely one of the finest holiday properties not only in The Cotswolds, but possibly in England. A house steeped in history dating back to the 15th Century, Wysdom offers the incoming guest a wonderful experience that captures the history of this famous market town in truly magnificent surroundings. Examples of the Hall's secrets that lie waiting to be discovered include the vestiges of ornamental paintings that are still to be found on one of the doors in the attic and the chimney breast of the master bedroom. This house is the ultimate holiday home experience that is, in our opinion, absolutely perfect for large groups or family gatherings who appreciate the very best.

Dinner Party Catering, Music, Canadian Hot Tub (in garden) and Contemporary Cinema Room (in cellar) all available for hire, at additional charge, see below *.
