A quiet cuppa on your window seat as you start the day slowly.

Wander around Bourton on the Water, hand in hand along the river.

Excursion to the local villages, no one else in view, fresh air and gorgeous views.

A romantic dinner by firelight.

Cosy up in your room and do it all again tomorrow.

There’s food for every mood in Bourton on the Water. Here are our dining recommendations…

If you want…

To make the most of Bourton…
…grab fish and chips or an Oli Bonny wood-fired pizza to have by the river.

Something for a special occasion…
…The Dial House or The Old New Inn have a romantic atmosphere.

Crowd-pleasing food…
…find The Mousetrap Inn a few doors down from us or head to The Croft.

Something a bit different…
…Smith’s of Bourton has one of the best burgers in the UK, or have authentic Italian in the Venice of the Cotswolds at Venezia.

A country pub…
… The Feathered Nest and The Plough at Cold Aston are the closest villagey pubs.
