Everything was great but it would have been good to know that they are cashless business. I feel very strongly that there should always be a choice so wouldn't return unless this changes.

We stayed in a family room at the Dial in late January 2026. We found the room plenty big enough for us (a couple + one adult). The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was particularity nice with a large soaking tub. The hostess was very nice and helpful. We reserved the breakfast rate, and the breakfast was excellent. We would stay again.

The Dial House is the perfect place to stay in the Cotswolds. The town of Bourton-On-Water, is centrally located to so many villages. The Dial House is perfectly placed in Bourton. We stayed in a deluxe double and everything was wonderful. The shower took a bit of getting used to, but that was not a problem. The staff was perfect and the head man Scott could not have been nicer, more professional or more helpful. Great beds, good storage, good wi-fi and wonderful parking. I cannot recommend this hotel any more highly than I am. Wonderful and beyond our expectations. We didn’t do breakfast but our friends did and they raved about it. Look no further.

Nice old place that you would be looking for in the country side of the UK but be aware .. no AC and that was disappointing since there was no mention of that in the description. In summary, high end cute place with no AC which I found surprising.

Overall pictures online is not what we received, rooms were very small, right next to the bar so was alot of noise, mould on sealent around bathroom, marks on walls and marks on carpet, then the expense of it all, the rooms are not worth the price we paid for them and no breakfast included in price either and price they charge is way overpriced. We paid £10 for a pot of tea which is shocking especially seeing as we were staying with them like at least give us a discount. Then £21.50 we was told breakfast was even though online I read it was £23 but either way again way overpriced when we went to another hotel up the road and paid £15 and got an amazing breakfast including drinks and cooked food and buffet. We wouldn't return. The only positive really is the free parking they have and the staff were all very nice and seemed helpful. But just feel it's abit of a tourist trap and they know they can over charge because they have good parking facilities and in a good location.
