Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to offer good value for money overall. The room we paid extra for, a superior room with a river view, turned out to be disappointing, being small, cold, and not what we expected. The hotel could benefit from some refurbishment as it felt a bit dated, although it was decent for the price paid. The hotel wasn't the most convenient for older guests in their sixties.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being clean, felt a bit worn down and small. The noise from early morning deliveries was a downside, but the young and friendly service team made up for it. The location was excellent, but the dining experience left something to be desired.
Staying at this hotel was an interesting experience. The rooms were comfortable and well-furnished despite the age of the building, providing adequate accommodation for a short stay. However, some aspects, such as the bedding and furniture, showed signs of wear and tear, and the food left much to be desired. The hotel's charm was somewhat overshadowed by these issues.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was picturesque, right on the river, but the room was disappointing with small windows and extractor fan noise. The service was welcoming, but the late-night staff party was disruptive. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection, and the facilities were decent despite some cleanliness issues.
The hotel is ideally located in the center of Bourton-on-the-Water, offering a wide choice of nearby attractions and dining options. The rooms, while spacious and with great views, are a bit dated.
The hotel overlooks the pretty main street and the river, offering a beautiful view, but the rooms are rather small and a little tired. The service was very friendly and welcoming, with a great location in the quaint Bourton-on-Water. The dining experience could use some improvement, especially with more variety in the breakfast options.
