Friendly, helpful staff and a room that was comfortable. The coffee pot was odd -- a cord far too short to reach any nearby outlet, but we just moved the pot. A small thing, but at that price point it should be right. Breakfast was delicious!

Sheryl United States of America

Centrally located in a beautiful village. Good parking, warm welcome, comfortable well equipped room. Felt Covid-safe with special measures such as staggered breakfast times and staff did an excellent job in a difficult situation. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again.

June United Kingdom

We so enjoyed staying at this hotel! The staff was great. Scott was amazing: always busy, always jovial, always has the time to help. If you are not driving a car, the Dial House is not easy to get to. We had to use a taxi from the train station. But once you are there, you simply don't want to leave!

Hendrik United States of America

We arrived later than expected and were warmly greeted. Our room was clean and bathroom was well stocked with everything needed. The breakfast experience here was amazing from the staff, the food and the other guests. Located right in the middle of town but The Dial House is very quiet. We were told that we could leave our car in the parking lot all day while we were out discovering all Bourton-On-The-Water has to offer.

The whole hotel and room were beautiful. Bed was comfy. Staff very friendly. Breakfast delicious with a few different options of hot breakfasts which we havent had before in other accomodation. I had smashed avocado and my partner had eggs Benedict. Both were yummy. Hotel was close to pub and other nice places to eat. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Location was great. the staff was great - including the owner Gellert who has a personality that shines and Scott who works so dilligently, the guy doesn't stop moving for a second. Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

Mehul United Kingdom

The property is absolutely beautiful (and much larger than I expected). Excellent customer service from the staff and the breakfast was wonderful. It’s right in the heart of the town, too.
