Great hotel in a central location
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

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

Nice hotel great location
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!
