I would be reluctant to use Booking.com in the future because of this experience.
Pros:

In general, the Old New Inn was a good place to stay, with the one exception noted below.

Cons:

I needed to reduce our stay by one day, checking out a day early on April 29 instead of April 30. I told the hotel staff when we checked in on April 26. They said to bring this up in the morning, which I did. The manager wasn't in until noon and when I mentioned this to him again, he said I needed to contact Booking.com which I did. And he said he would approve the refund for one day once Booking.com contacted him. My inquiry with Booking.com and with the hotel never produced a refund. No explanation or reason ever mentioned.

Good value for money for a short day. Very central and a delight to be able to stay in an historical building.
Pros:

A beautiful property with rich history. It was a pleasure to stay here. The room was extremely comfortable and cosy with an efficient bathroom attached. The view from my window gave me a sneak peek of the water. A delicious breakfast was included with my overnight stay. Very central location and surprisingly quiet. The price was also reasonable and included a complementary tour of the Bourton-on-the-Water Model Village directly behind the accommodation.

Cons:

I have nothing negative to report about this property!

Fantastic place!
Pros:

Brilliant location, lovely staff. Parking, breakfast and room exceptional. Loved the themed rooms, clean and modern bathroom.

Cons:

As we were there on the hottest days of the year, we had windows open and the traffic was a bit noisy. Probably ok in normal conditions as they had provided a fan and rooms at the back of the property would have been better.

Enjoyed our stay here. Room was big enough, view was great from our room. Liked that it was walking distance to everyt
Pros:

Quaint, within walking distance of the city center, the motoring museum, & the miniature museum was right behind the Inn. Good food & drink.

Cons:

Just the stairs going up to our room, just not use to small stairs. I just took my time going down them.
