Pros:

Todo. La propiedad es muy acogedora, de excelente gusto. La ubicación es perfecta. La vista de mi habitacion a los canales de Bourton era preciosa. Volveria sin dudarlo.

Cons:

Lo unico no pude disfrutar del desayuno por llegar unos minutos mas tarde. Muy estrictos con eso. Pero parecia todo exquisito.

Breakfast and Location
Pros:

Breakfast and location was good.

Cons:

I stayed twice in same month but car park explanation wasn’t good. I confirmed many times but I get different answers from different staffs. So I might get a car park fine.

And also the fridge in my room switched off so the milk in a bottle smelt badly and the water was open lid. I didn’t feel clean.

Lovely hosts and an historic hotel with good facilities
Pros:

Lots of history and they had done a great job modernising it. A great breakfast

Cons:

We had very hot weather and with no AC it was a bit uncomfortable with just a doona. In winter or cooler it would be very good

Overall a good stay,
Pros:

Close to nearby cute town and within easy reach of other locations around the Cotswolds, clean and good breakfast.

Cons:

We were in the loft room on the hottest day of the year so was very uncomfortable during the night but that’s down to the British weather not the b&b itself, the corridors could have smelt more pleasant but other than that a nice stay for 2 nights.

Un hotel estupendo
Pros:

Hotel en el mismo centro de Bourton on the water. Muy limpio y con su parking al lado. Desayuno muy completo y riquísimo. Habitación muy coqueta.

Cons:

Que nos cobraran 7,50 £ por dejar el coche en su parking, ya que debería ser gratuito. El Parking debería de ser además solo y exclusivamente para los clientes del hotel, ya que cuenta con pocas plazas. El chico que nos atendió en la recepción, nos dijo que no podíamos desayunar hasta las 8:40, lo que nos retrasó algo en nuestra planificación, pero bueno no pasa nada porque al final estás de vacaciones y la calidad del desayuno y la atención recibida fueron de 10.

Overall good.
Pros:

My room, my location, the breakfast.

Cons:

First day checked in, told to book early for a meal, had a shower came straight down to book, within a thirty minute window fully booked told I could eat outside, went elsewhere. Car parking spaces limited parked half n half end of row so cars can get around, I was in model village, told to move car, yellow fiat and white audi between them took three spaces, dont think they looked for owners. Some staff brilliant others a bit obnoxious.

Lovely stay, great breakfast and lovely staff. Small carpark needs to be highlighted better.
Pros:

Great location in a lovely part of the world.

Cons:

Car parking is very hit and miss, arrived to check in at 3pm and car park was full so had to park at a public car park further up the road until gone 7pm.
