The Bay Tree

Nestled in the enchanting town of Burford, The Bay Tree Hotel is a haven of romance, where timeless charm meets refined elegance. This historic gem offers one of the most idyllic wedding settings in the Cotswolds—a place where every moment feels like it belongs in a love story.

Dating back to 1565, the hotel whispers history through its flagstone floors, oak beams, and crackling open fires. The sweeping galleried staircase sets the stage for unforgettable entrances, while the intimate reception rooms and 22 individually styled bedrooms create a warm, exclusive retreat for you and your guests.

Step beyond the doors and discover a secret walled garden—a sanctuary of manicured lawns and a quaint Summer House, perfect for exchanging vows beneath the open sky or capturing those first magical photographs as newlyweds. Paired with exquisite dining, fine wines, and a dedicated team devoted to your vision, The Bay Tree promises a wedding experience that is as timeless as your love and as unforgettable as the day you say “I do.”
