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.

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.

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.

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.

There is nothing we didn’t love about this place! Carl and Adam greeted us and helped with luggage. Dinner and drinks were fabulous. The interior is beautiful. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Walking distance for the town. This is my favorite place we stayed on our 2 weeks around the country. Would love to go back.

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.

What can we say from booking this hotel to the end of our visit, we have found everyone has been very quick with responses to queries leading up to visiting, on arrival every member of staff has been very friendly and helpful, the location of the hotel is ideal, just set back enough from the busy street. Our room was super (we had the garden room) lots of room and then to finish it off a nice private garden space to sit in (nice weather did help), we had breakfast included in our stay which was lovely, the black pudding was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. We also had a lunch & a dinner- every dish we had was very nicely presented and was very tasty, quality ingredients used. I’d book this hotel for hubby’s 60th & definitely felt he was rather spoilt.
Thank you so much for a fabulous stay.
Great hotel, great location and free car parking a real bonus.

The property is right in the heart of Bourton on the Water. I loved the hotels proximity to the other villages in the North Cotswolds. I stayed in the family room which was 2 bedrooms and one bath, which was great for 2 teenagers and 2 adults, loved the space and privacy. Breakfast was also great. There is onsite parking which was convenient for this popular destination.

Great room with a personal courtyard. We even had dinner from the restaurant brought to us because after we ordered my wife starting feeling sick. We had just flown in from the US. They don’t usually accommodate room service but they did for us.
