We have just had a lovely stay at The Dial House. We were welcomed warmely and shown to our room; which was very clean and cosy. The gift of a handmade soap was a nice touch! The hotel is very pretty and was beautifully decorated with the lounge area having open fire. The staff were all vety helpful and friendly. I must also add the hotel smells amazing! The location is perfect and very central to take in the sights and the car park was very convenient. We also had a delicious roast dinner in restaurant to finish off our stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and hope to return!

The online photos failed to live up to the actual accomadations. An Example, the room was smaller then appears in the photo. The patio felt short of the photos and need to be cleaned. The most concerning was the mold in the shower. TV was small and ackwardly placed on the wall for viewing. Positive parking was great and everything was in Walking distance. Comfortable bed and nice linens. Also the staff was friendly.

The location is fantastic being on the High Street in a central location and nicely set back from the hoards of tourists. The staff are lovely and engaging. Lunch and evening meals were beautifully cooked but breakfast at £21.50 per head was not great, being over cooked and one of the most expensive I’ve had, probably ever. On the subject of price, whilst the evening meal was lovely, £40+ each for a Goan Fish Curry and a Ribeye Steak was excessive being on or above the price of a good London restaurant.

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.

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.

My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful stay at The Dial House in Bourton-on-the-Water, and we honestly couldn't have asked for more. We happened to visit during an exceptionally hot spell, with temperatures reaching 36°C, but the staff were absolutely outstanding throughout our stay, doing everything possible to ensure all guests remained comfortable and well looked after. Their professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail really stood out. Our room was beautiful and comfortable, the dinner and breakfast were both excellent, and enjoying cocktails in the stunning garden on a warm summer evening was simply perfect. The location is unbeatable too – right in the heart of the gorgeous Bourton-on-the-Water, making it easy to enjoy everything this beautiful village has to offer. Thank you to the whole team for making our stay so memorable. We will definitely be back!

The whole place was charming and full of character. Check-in was fast and reception took us to our room personally. The room was beautifully decorated. The bathroom was modern and clean. A nice selection of teas and biscuits. This is not a negative but something to be aware of; since the building is older and refurbished, the stairs are a little narrow and lean so make sure you are comfortable with navigating not so perfect stairs if you choose to stay in the upper levels. Back to the positives: the garden area was lovely with plenty of chairs to sit and enjoy, there were EV stations available, a small pub and restaurant to relax and unwind (we didn’t try it out, but the smells coming from the kitchen were wonderful). Most importantly, right in the heart of the village so you can walk to everything.
