Lovely mid-week break at The Dial House. The service from the whole team was excellent and rooms were clean and well presented, although our LLB room would maybe benefit from having a small wardrobe with drawers rather than just a hanging rail. There is plenty of parking and a quiet garden at the rear where you can escape the bustling High Street. The skate dinner was exceptional!

The room was very clean and nicely decorated. The staff had the fan going to cool down for us since the heat wave was still going. The room had everything we needed but it was on the small side and had no A/C. Check in was very easy and parking on site was a great amenity. Breakfast was pricey and we decided to get pastries and coffee on the nearby coffee shop since we’re not big breakfast people. The hotel is very well located in front of restaurants and water running through the town. It’s a great place for families and pet friendly.

It is a very nice hotel but arrived and were told that hotel was pretty much closed for the evening so no access to the bar or lounge etc which seemed disappointing based on the cost of the room

Charming inn right at the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. It was a short walk to the shops and pubs/restaurants of the town. Chose it because it had a room that would accommodate three ladies on our little tour of the Cotswolds. Our room had two separate bedrooms, one with a large bed and then another with two twin beds. Bathroom was updated and roomy with a full tub and shower. Would be perfect for a family also. The inn was built in 1698 and has historical charm, but was nicely renovated. Lovely restaurant which we didn't have a chance to try, and a sitting area where we had coffee. Everyone was lovely and kind. Would highly recommend.

A lovely well maintained hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. When I arrived home I realised I had left my watch in the hotel room. I called the hotel and they posted it that day and it arrived at my home the next morning. Very impressed with the efficiency and honesty of the staff.
