"Lovely property just a short walk into the centre of Bourton on the water, though beware there is a very steep hill to climb when walking back. Very spacious. Lounge and open plan kitchen could do with a bit of an update. Fabulous views across the country side and so many different species of birds to view from the very large window in the lounge. Owners very kindly left binoculars and a bird book. Extremely quiet setting. Stayed Friday to Monday and it was a really lovely break. "

"Lovely stay, perfect location! The motel and diner were both great and felt like a special night away on our way to an event without breaking the bank. The Dyson and GHDs in the room were a snazzy edition. Only downside was no kettle in the room which meant having to dash outside the room in your pyjamas for your morning cuppa."

Breakfast was substantial, and staff cleared tables quickly. We are in the Old Boathouse and enjoyed three pleasant meals. Staff throughout the complex were very friendly and courteous."

The Mousetrap Inn

8/10 Good
"The breakfast was top class. Freshly cooked to order, a good choice and with superb sausages and bacon on the Full English. And breakfast was served at a sensible time for those of us looking for a leisurely break. We ate here on two evenings and again, the food was excellent. The bar area is cosy, the wine and beer choices suited us to a tee and the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. It is a 5 minute walk into the centre of the village where there are plenty of other choices for food and drink. None of the other pubs we visited though were as good as the Mousetrap for atmosphere or the personal touch. The only slight drawback at the Mousetrap was that the bedroom could do with a little TLC and the bed itself could do with updating. However, it was perfectly adequate and the bar area and standard of food compensated for the slight discomfort in the room. We would stay here again and would recommend it to friends visiting the area."
