Welcome to The New Maytime
After the terrible floods in 2007, the Maytime has been given a £250,000 refurbishment that has transformed it into a very beautiful and modern place to visit. We were very happy to have David Cameron visit us and re-open the Maytime.
The tiny hamlet of Asthall, once the home of the Romans, it nestles deep in the Windrush Valley in the heart of the Cotswolds by the historical town of Burford.
The Maytime Inn, so named after May and Tim bought the building in 1975 when it had been condemned, the roofs were leaking and there were only outside toilets. Over the years May and Tim have transformed The Maytime into what it is today, whilst retaining much of its original Cotswold character. This is a lovely, authentic Cotswold stone building snuggled into this quiet country village. On a quiet winter's day you can imagine this pub as it was centuries ago. Duck and enter through a low door and you are not disappointed. It is a credit to Tim, May and Tori.
Immediately homely, an open fire, pretty wall lights, exposed Cotswold walls, Slate Floors in the restaurant and a Cotswold flagstone floor in the bar, fresh flowers and the wonderful aroma of home cooking creates a feeling of excellence guaranteed to this most delightful of country pubs.
