The Dial House is the perfect place to stay in the Cotswolds. The town of Bourton-On-Water, is centrally located to so many villages. The Dial House is perfectly placed in Bourton. We stayed in a deluxe double and everything was wonderful. The shower took a bit of getting used to, but that was not a problem. The staff was perfect and the head man Scott could not have been nicer, more professional or more helpful. Great beds, good storage, good wi-fi and wonderful parking. I cannot recommend this hotel any more highly than I am. Wonderful and beyond our expectations. We didn’t do breakfast but our friends did and they raved about it. Look no further.

Nice old place that you would be looking for in the country side of the UK but be aware .. no AC and that was disappointing since there was no mention of that in the description. In summary, high end cute place with no AC which I found surprising.

Overall pictures online is not what we received, rooms were very small, right next to the bar so was alot of noise, mould on sealent around bathroom, marks on walls and marks on carpet, then the expense of it all, the rooms are not worth the price we paid for them and no breakfast included in price either and price they charge is way overpriced. We paid £10 for a pot of tea which is shocking especially seeing as we were staying with them like at least give us a discount. Then £21.50 we was told breakfast was even though online I read it was £23 but either way again way overpriced when we went to another hotel up the road and paid £15 and got an amazing breakfast including drinks and cooked food and buffet. We wouldn't return. The only positive really is the free parking they have and the staff were all very nice and seemed helpful. But just feel it's abit of a tourist trap and they know they can over charge because they have good parking facilities and in a good location.

Super cute, but terrible bed

Incredible location in a super cute historical building. Charm to spare. While the room size was really small, it was manageable. The inexcusable thing was the cheap, hard, and painful mattress. I’m so happy we only were staying one night or I would have needed a full body massage.

Fantastic location, really good it has parking, garden area really nice, staff were very friendly. Only negative was we were on the ground floor of the coach house and the noise from the room above and the slamming doors wasn't good and prevented a good sleep.

My mom and I stayed at Dial House for 2 nights in June. We both loved it so much and felt right at home! The place was so cozy, the Sunday roast was divine, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. We would 100% recommend this place and would love to return someday!

Nice property and perfect location. Very good food, though a bit expensive. Owners were very nice. Parking easy and accessible. We would have love to stay in the main house; not on the side appartments. Did no enjoy arriving at 21hs (still daylight) and finding the place dark and closed. We had to phone called to have a person drive to the hotel and check us in while waiting outside. Room was very nice and convenient. Also comfortable, though the smaller room had a smell to it.

This is the perfect location to explore Burton-on-the-Water as you are right in the center of town. Check-in was easy and so was parking. The staff are very friendly and the gentleman that makes the drinks has a great sense of humor. Our room was large and the bed was comfortable although the location of our room was very noisy as it is right where all the deliveries occur for the hotel so we could hear vans driving on the gravel and opening doors during the night (Room 10). I would stay here again but would request not to be in this room as our friends were upstairs and said it was quiet.

Beautiful room in an incredible location. Loved the little patio off the room (Room #11). Staff were amazing!! Breakfast was wonderful with many choices including a delicious porridge and breakfast tea with little pastries. All outstanding!! Would definitely recommend.

The most beautiful area to stay and amazing food options available. The hotel was very quaint and stylish and the restaurant was fabulous. Staff very friendly and available when needed. My only feedback would be that a fridge in the room would be a great thing to have access to.
