About
The Inn for All Seasons is a country inn at the Barringtons, on the A40 about three miles west of Burford, run by the Hillier family. The oldest part, now the bar, dates from the 1500s, when it housed quarry workers; it became a coaching inn, the New Inn, after the road came through in the 1700s, and took its present name in the late 1960s.
It has 12 rooms, eight in the main building and four in the Mews Coach House of the 1870s, and breakfast is included in every rate. The restaurant is known for fish, delivered daily from Devon and Cornwall, alongside British dishes from local produce, a children's menu and afternoon tea. Food is served from noon, with last seatings at 8pm, or 8.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Dogs are welcome in the inn and in the Mews rooms, which open on to the garden, and dog-friendly tables in the restaurant can be booked ahead. There are two free car parks and beer gardens for summer. The inn's own booking page gives check-in from 3pm to 10pm and check-out by 11am, with pets by arrangement; the inn does not publish a dog charge on its own website, and HotelPlanner lists a pet fee of £15 a pet a night. The Book a Room button on the inn's website opens a form that passes you to its online booking system, and rooms can also be booked by phone.
