Hotel Reviews
The Old New Inn
Bourton on the Water

Charming Old Inn, great location with easy walks to trails, shops, bus stop. Wonderful breakfast with amazing croissants! It’s an old building beautifully renovated but narrow hallways and stairwells, no elevator. Must be able to carry own luggage to and from room. Lovely view of river from our room. Nice size showers with rain shower head. Our 3rd floor room was lovely but low hanging rafters caused a few head bumps. The Bourton on the Water miniature village next door was impressive and so fun to see.
