The US motel style rooms out the back of the property didn't really make you feel like you were getting value for money, a bit cheap if I'm honest. Plus close proximity to the kitchen meant you heard the culinary machine working early morning and later at night. This may not be an issue if you're staying upstairs in the main building. The pub/restauarant, food and staff were truly excellent.

Great place to stay in Bourton

Stayed here before so we hopefully knew what to expect. Lovely room with a great comfy bed and facilities, shower and en-suite all working well and very clean. Short walk into town, bar and restaurant are excellent, will be back next year.

Quaint and delightful.

The Mouse Trap Inn is very quaint and we had an enjoyable 1night stay here. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms are small but in keeping with the nature of the town and age of the building. We recommend this as a delightful place to stay.

Nice stay, staff extremely friendly, very convenient location- close to everything you’d want to visit in Bourton On The Water- Hawkstone a 25 minute walk. Only criticism is that breakfast let it down, slow service, dirty napkin and overdone toast & muffin. Limited car park spaces- top tip arrive early.

Picturesque, limited menu. Bar closes to early for residents and not consistently, as goes for the rest of the village plus staff can be quite rude and none attentive.
