Enjoyed a weekend away in the Cotswolds.
Pros:

The breakfast was amazing. The location was great…just next to the main part of town but not in the thick of it. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of.

Lovely stay as always.
Pros:

Having visited the Old New Inn since I was 4 years old, I love how sympathetically the building has been renovated. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We were on the second floor and the stairs are quite steep. Would have preferred a room on the 1st floor! The pillows were a bit lumpy.

Spoilt by just one thing: complete lack of noise insulation. Such a shame.
Pros:

The Hotel has been generously and carefully restored. Breakfast was superb. My room was beautifully clean and amply furnished.

Both the lady hosting breakfast and the household department were superb.

Cons:

There is only one problem with the Hotel but it is a big one - it is a very old building - almost certainly Listed so this may be something they cannot do anything about but there appears to be no noise insulation at all. It means you can hear everything from other rooms from conversations to the sounds of the internal extractor fan system.

I was lucky that my fellow residents all went to bed early. If they had not, I would not have slept.

Lovely spot, would happily come back!
Pros:

Staff were lovely and I loved the open fires upon arrival and in the bar.
Room was as advertised - small, but no problem for 1 person. Spotless and comfortable.

Glad we chose this inn and Bourton on the Water.
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice and the breakfast room was quite pleasant. Easy walk to the main attraction of the village. We had Suite 9 which was very generously proportioned and had separate water closet. We dined in the restaurant and had a very nice dinner.

Cons:

Since parking is open to the public, it was difficult to find a spot (it was conveniently located on the site). While our experience with the staff was generally quite positive, our greeting at check-in was indifferent at best.

Excellent hotel with wonderful staff and facilities at a very good price.
Pros:

The hotel is on the doorstep of everything in Bourton yet just off the main drag so a little less hectic. All the staff were so friendly and professional from manager, bar staff, cleaner to breakfast staff. Dinner was excellent as was breakfast and the breakfast room was very inviting and fresh and breezy. Lovely garden to rear and seating at the front, plus parking. Had a really enjoyable stay.
