Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a central and ideal location, making it perfect for exploring Bourton-on-the-water. The rooms are cozy and well-decorated, though a bit noisy at times. The dining experience offers hearty and delicious meals, but the limited space for diners could be improved. Overall, a great spot for a couple of days of rest and relaxation.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and had all the necessary amenities, but there was a lot of noise coming from the floors and other rooms, especially in the evenings. On the bright side, the breakfast was delightful and offered a variety of hot and cold complimentary drinks.

My stay at the hotel was delightful! The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the charming villages of Bourton-on-the-Water and Lower Slaughter, set back from the main street. The rooms were cozy, with lovely yellow armchairs and a fabulous bathroom that was tidied every day. The dining experience was outstanding with a great buffet selection, and the service was top-notch. However, the rooms felt a little cramped, and the price could have been more competitive.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit dated but clean with a comfortable bed, and the food in the restaurant was excellent. The location was great with easy access to restaurants and shops, but noise was an issue. Overall, a decent stay with some areas that could use improvement.
