What a treat. We arrived and found we had been upgraded. Our rooms were just up the road and in a building all to ourselves with a charming courtyard and very quiet. We have an electric car and the manager kindly let us charge at no extra cost too. Additionally, the hotel is so central in this beautiful village full of great restaurants and shops (although the restaurant at the hotel was awesome so you don't need to go anywhere else).

With original features and traditional charm, Old Manse Hotel overlooks the River Windrush. In picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water, the hotel has a riverside terrace and free Wi-Fi.

The elegant rooms at The Old Manse each have a private bathroom. All rooms have tea and coffee facilities, a work desk and hairdryer. Some rooms have wonderful period features and river views.

The location, cleanliness, and ambiance of the hotel were fantastic, however, the staff was the true shining star! They were kind and ever so helpful when booking taxi rides, offering advice, and always quick with a smile. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    The location is beautiful and easy for getting to other destinations. We had two full days and covered four different places in that time. Breakfast was very good value for money with a great choice. The room was cosy and had everything required for a short stay. We had dinner as well which was good.

    Room was comfortable and clean with all necessary facilities. Nice touch to have a little goodies tray with biscuits, crisps and sweets. The food at dinner was excellent and served by friendly staff at a comfortable pace. Good choice for breakfast, full English was very nice, not greasy fatty. Overall there was a friendly atmosphere engendered by the staff.

    Historic inn with a charming old village vibe. Our triple room was roomy, clean, with comfortable beds and a sweet country decor. Great staff and breakfast included. We also liked how Stow-on-the-Wold had many shops to meet all your needs yet still retained that small village feel. Side note: you need to climb narrow and steep stairs to get to the rooms which for us was not a problem.

    Breakfast and staff were excellant Dinner was not value for money, very small portions Room was a lovely size and super view, but very disappointed that it hadn’t been maintained well. Safety chain missing from room door, no light in lobby of room, light missing in bathroom over washhand basin, no working bulbs in outside lights, bed side light shades had cobwebs on. The car park we used, at the Orangey had a massive deep hole where you drove in or out, could easily damage car suspension if not very very careful. .
