Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were nice and comfy, but the price seemed a bit high for what was offered. The service was friendly and efficient, although they seemed a bit overwhelmed during busy times. The central location was perfect for exploring, and the on-site parking was a plus. The dining was good, but the dinner options were limited and pricey for the quality. Overall, a decent choice for a stay.
Staying at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience with comfortable rooms and exceptionally helpful service. The prime central location right in the heart of the village adds to its charm, but the dining experience had some room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms in the more recently built extension were a bit airless overnight even with the window ajar, and being situated in an external building meant having to walk through the rain to get to the breakfast room, yet we were charged the same as those in the main building. On the bright side, the service was very friendly and efficient, although they seemed short-staffed at times. The location was excellent, with convenient on-site parking, making it easy to explore the charming village of Bourton on the Water. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with a good selection on the menu.
The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Bourton on the Water, offering good views from the room. The rooms could use a bit of sprucing up, especially in the coach house on the top floor. The service provided by the friendly staff, from cleaners to management, was exceptional. Dining was a mix of fantastic and inconsistent experiences. The location is excellent for exploring the local area, and the ample parking adds value.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though on the small side, come with nice toiletries and are suitable for a short stay. The service is top-notch with polite and helpful staff. The location is excellent for exploring Bourton-on-the-Water, but the dining options may not be worth the high price tag.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not as furnished as advertised, with peeling wallpaper and window shutters that wouldn't stay closed. On the bright side, there was a nice touch of welcoming drink. The service was exceptional, with the friendliest and most helpful staff I've encountered. The location was perfect for exploring Bourton on the Water, despite the crowds of tourists. As for dining, while the options were good, the prices were on the higher side. Overall, a mixed experience with great service and location but lacking in room quality and dining value.
