Perfectly located, very nice staff, comfortable rooms and aptly priced. It's a cozy hotel where lots of people congregate to have a good time, so expect during the weekends that there will be noise (music, laughter, increasing in intensity as people drink more) late at night. This is because the rooms are close to the bar and fireplace area (I'd suggest the hotel to have a quiet time starting at 10pm or 11pm at most). However, during weekdays it was perfect and we had a good rest. Loved the location, walk out and you are in the core of beautiful Burton to enjoy the town , shops and dining options around.

Quiet policy needs to be adhered too!!!!!

Stayed for two nights. First night was amazing but the second night the noise from the room above was horrendous. Supposed to have a quiet policy in place but this didn’t matter to the family above and ruined our second nights stay at this place. Location is perfect and the second reason we choose this place was because of the quiet policy. But this didn’t happen and ruined our second night.

Great hotel in a central location

A wonderful find right in the centre of the town. Clean, comfortable and very clean. We were met on arrival and the room was already ready at 1130am. Perfect t for our needs. We didn’t eat in but should we have there was great menus and a cosy bar/lounge area with a fire roaring

We had the most amazing time at The Dial House. The hotel was amazing, beautifully decorated, clean, very friendly & welcoming staff where nothing was a problem. In the evening it was cosy & welcoming with a roaring open fire. The tipi tent was beautiful & such a great idea. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for an amazing time The Dial House, we can’t wait to return

No thanks

Tiny room. Couldn’t swing a cat. Tiny shower closet. No space for luggage. Overwhelming smell of air freshener, triggered my wife’s asthma. No service to speak of. Staff went home at 6pm and left guests to fend for themselves. No food anvail in evening although receptionist did recommend an excellent Italian restaurant. Eyesore of a rundown tepee in the garden totally not in keeping with the rest of this pretty village. On the plus side, a lovely building, central location, nicely maintained. The breakfast was very well cooked and waitresses have amusing Del Boy posh accent imitations. Overall, the smallest room I’ve stayed in for a very long time plus the lack of service and high price charged lead to 3/5 at best. I wouldn’t return.
