The most beautiful area to stay and amazing food options available. The hotel was very quaint and stylish and the restaurant was fabulous. Staff very friendly and available when needed. My only feedback would be that a fridge in the room would be a great thing to have access to.

There is nothing we didn’t love about this place! Carl and Adam greeted us and helped with luggage. Dinner and drinks were fabulous. The interior is beautiful. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Walking distance for the town. This is my favorite place we stayed on our 2 weeks around the country. Would love to go back.

The property is right in the heart of Bourton on the Water. I loved the hotels proximity to the other villages in the North Cotswolds. I stayed in the family room which was 2 bedrooms and one bath, which was great for 2 teenagers and 2 adults, loved the space and privacy. Breakfast was also great. There is onsite parking which was convenient for this popular destination.

A wonderful find right in the centre of the town. Clean, comfortable and very clean. We were met on arrival and the room was already ready at 1130am. Perfect t for our needs. We didn’t eat in but should we have there was great menus and a cosy bar/lounge area with a fire roaring

Perfectly located, very nice staff, comfortable rooms and aptly priced. It's a cozy hotel where lots of people congregate to have a good time, so expect during the weekends that there will be noise (music, laughter, increasing in intensity as people drink more) late at night. This is because the rooms are close to the bar and fireplace area (I'd suggest the hotel to have a quiet time starting at 10pm or 11pm at most). However, during weekdays it was perfect and we had a good rest. Loved the location, walk out and you are in the core of beautiful Burton to enjoy the town , shops and dining options around.

The family room was perfect for our family and it is right in the heart of Cobham. Yet, the restaurant and rooms are slightly off the road which provides a bit more privacy and it is not noisy.

We had the most amazing time at The Dial House. The hotel was amazing, beautifully decorated, clean, very friendly & welcoming staff where nothing was a problem. In the evening it was cosy & welcoming with a roaring open fire. The tipi tent was beautiful & such a great idea. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for an amazing time The Dial House, we can’t wait to return

I liked almost everything about this property, it was walkable so the location was great, the food was excellent and so were the cocktails, the staff was friendly and professional and it had a great charm to it. Some of the things that weren't so great that can definitely be improved upon are: 1. The amount of staffing present, the Dial House is beautiful but it could do with more front desk staff (the front desk staff checks in people, and walks them to their rooms, and takes food orders in the main building and brings the food out and manages the bill; it's alot for them to do. With that said, it's not manageable for them, for example, we asked if the front desk can kindly call a car for us to take us to the nearby train station (Moreton-in-Marsh railway station that's 15 minutes away) and they were so busy that they handed us a list to make the call for ourselves, I'm sorry but that is just unacceptable, we paid almost 300 pounds per night to stay there and expected better front desk service, the staff was very kind about not having the time to assist which we appreciated and so we had to call ourselves but it was stressful because we were worried we wouldn't be able to find someone since all of the numbers on the list the staff gave us was booked. So instead of enjoying our time, we had to try to figure out bus schedules and potential Uber advance bookings which led us to checking out very early, way pass our check-out time. Note we only spent 2 nights at the Dial House

Nice hotel. But could have done with some drawers in room and a decent hair dryer. Also would have been nice to be offered a hand woth luggage as the stairs were quite uneven.

We loved everything about the Dial House. Its location in the center of Bourton on the Water made it easy to get around. We had 3 different rooms due to making reservations at different times & they were all comfortable & charming. The breakfasts were delicious & filling. I highly recommend The Dial house!
