⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Wonderful stay at The Mousetrap Inn
We had such a lovely stay at the Mousetrap Inn in Bourton-on-the-Water. The staff were incredibly accommodating and genuinely friendly – every interaction felt warm and nothing was ever too much trouble 😊
Highlights:
Dinner on Friday evening was outstanding – beautifully cooked and full of flavour.
Breakfast was also excellent, with great choices and everything served fresh.
Service throughout our stay was fantastic – welcoming, attentive, and relaxed.
We honestly can’t wait to stay there again. Highly recommend! ❤️
The corridors were a little noisy at times, with other guests shutting doors quite loudly.
The shower head in our room wasn’t fully working.
Both were minor things, and honestly, I’m nit‑picking — everything else was perfect.

I was not expecting too much for 87 b&b. This place though is excellent. Amazing value for money, warm and cosy room with a huge cooked breakfast. Pretty much faultless. Room a little on the small side, but it served us fine. Easy check-in, we got given a door code.
Room a little small.

We had a really present welcome, it was so warm an inviting, all of the staff were lovely. We didn't eat dinner in the restaurant as we had other plans, but the menu was really good. We had a comfortable night's sleep, with everything in the room we could need, and the breakfast was amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to return.
Nothing!

Clean, comfortable and accommodating. All staff members were friendly and informative. The pub itself was cosy and warm, as were the rooms. The room was spacious considering how small the pub is.
There is no bad words to give this property. Limited parking, however there is nothing the pub can do to change this and they advertise the problem clearly so if you book and require guaranteed parking outside the door, do not expect to get it. There is plenty of parking down the road.

The whole stay was lovely from start to finish. The room was spotless and the staff made us feel very welcome. The food is fantastic and I would definitely recommend dining here… Sunday lunch is very special indeed! Breakfast is freshly made to order and honestly we couldn’t recommend enough. We will definitely return soon!
Nothing at all..

Tasty breakfast & cosy, comfy room with easy walking to tourist attractions!
Cigarette butts out by back entrance/ parking bays!
Early closing , leaving you feeling rushed, a cosy seat to drink after a meal on holiday is always lovely!

Cosy, beautiful room with such a comfortable bed!
Cigarette butts out around back parking entrance but polite staff!
Understood the pub couldn’t open every night for food/ drinks but when open just before 9 pm you felt rushed as they obviously wanted to shut early!

The breakfast was very good as was the lovely, friendly lady who prepared and served it.
We received an email 3 days before our stay which recommended booking an evening meal even though we were B & B guests. We then discovered via a phone call that the restaurant and the bar were closed and had been for a while - absolutely disgusting not to have had the decency of some prior notice. We had to go into town for a meal with no service on our return - a dead, unwelcoming pub. Since then there has not even been an apology - totally unacceptable customer care!!!
To top it all, we found a pair of dirty socks in the bedroom under the curtain.

The room was super cute! Beautifully decorated and styled.
The breakfast was exceptional!!
The room was warm and very clean.
I don't like to say negative comments but it's a good place to give feedback to an otherwise excellent experience. The righthand side bed side lamp was broken on the on/off switch. , not a problem, we used the other one. The bathroom was wonderful! The only downside was the mirror was far far far too high to see into!!
There was a constant smell of drains also.
The fan was a little noisy for quite a long time, but we just closed the door, so not too bothersome.

Good location, helpful staff tried to accommodate us with extra towels to use as blankets not available
We had two rooms at the back, off the car parking area. I had expected small but charming. We got small, but not much charm. Bland accommodation, not worth the money, in my view. I won't return.

The room was clean and comfortable and much bigger than expected
The bar area was a bit cold as the front door opened directly into the bar. The log burner wasn't lit, which also didn't help but none of this would be a problem in warmer months, it was after all freezing cold outside

Lack of parking, but due to location was understandable. Factored paying for 24hr parking into the budget.

We didn’t like the property very much as the walls between the bedrooms were paper thin. There was no soundproofing whatsoever and you heard every noise and every conversation even through the night we even heard every toilet being flushed and every shower being turned on.
We didn’t like anything about the property . the entrance to the bedrooms at the back was very untidy and needed a good refurbishment.
There is limited parking at the accommodation and limited off-road parking in a very busy village. Absolutely no chance of parking during the day a little easier at night.
The rooms are tiny and you can hear every noise from every room. You hear every door bang toilets being flushed showers being turned on and every conversation.
We had extremely noisy people in the room next-door to us who were still partying at 2 o’clock in the morning as a group of six. I did complain but the group was still there the night after although the manager owner had spoken to them we were not compensated at all, not even a complimentary drink after being disturbed for hours in the middle of the night. It was that bad I rang the pub telephone number at 12:45 am but was told the owner was 40 minutes away and was unable to deal with the situation. I understood that a number of rooms how to complain about the same situation but it was made worse because we were next door to them.

Nice breakfast for me, pleasant room, shower really good.
No cornflakes at breakfast, not many parking bays, but you can park on the single yellows from 18:00 to 09:00 although a lot of the single yellows go over people driveways.

Rooms lovely and comfortable.
Some staff didn't seem to want to be there at breakfast. 1st morning the lady was lovely, brought us toast and drinks. The second morning had to ask and for more coffee and was told I'm a minute. Possibly not a morning person.

Room was nice, bed was acceptable. Food at breakfast and dinner was really lovely. Staff really welcoming and friendly. Area is gorgeous. I would definitely stay again.
Very limited parking although we managed to park out on road and we were made aware of this before we arrived. Bed could be more comfortable which was the only fault really.

Staff - so welcoming, efficient, helpful, friendly - you should be proud of them! Clean and comfortable room. Location - spot on!
Lack of parking spaces, but not your fault - we parked in a central location, (no cost), and we are quite abke to walk - but we failed to get a spot at the pub which would have been ideal 🙂

Lovely stay. We had room 11 & it was perfect. I was surprised to read reviews it was noisy as it was above the kitchen as we did not hear a thing. Room was spotlessly clean & bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was amazing, great shower & toiletries provided. Breakfast was delicious as was our meal in the evening. All staff were so happy, kind and helpful. Thank you all for such a great stay x

The room was comfortable and had everything you needed. The breakfast was good, with lots of choice and the breakfast lady was very friendly.
The evening meal was exceptional but the dining area could have been warmer.
Staff were all very friendly
Easy walk to Hawkstone Brewery (20 mins)
Easy walk into the village.
Unfortunately the WiFi was not good, and as low coverage for mobile data it did impact us.
The bathroom could do with either a heated towel rail or radiator.
Better details for booking in when the pub was closed

Beautiful cosy B&B. Lovely food, we had dinner which was delicious and had breakfast included in our stay which was perfect. Location to the village was also perfect being a stones throw away.
There was a funny damp smell in our bathroom which wasn’t very nice and the shower was freezing cold. The door to the building is also very heavy and when people enter it slams shut quite loud, this could be heard from our hotel room. Parking can also be a pain, I do believe if you’ve paid to stay there overnight then you should be guaranteed a space nearby. Luckily after a while we were able to find a space to keep the car overnight by the hairdressers else we would have really struggled.

What’s not to like, warm cosey, full of atmosphere.
Parking is limited. There are places in the village but maybe a problem if mobility is limited.
