About
The Old New Inn is a Grade II listed inn in Bourton-on-the-Water, its oldest part probably early eighteenth century, near the River Windrush. Its garden holds the Model Village, a one-ninth scale stone model of Bourton in the 1930s, built by the landlord of the day and itself listed.
The kitchen cooks classic British dishes from local, seasonal produce: a day menu from 12pm to 3pm and dinner from 6pm to 8.30pm, Monday to Saturday, and a Sunday lunch with meat and vegetarian choices from 12pm to 4pm. The bar is open from 11am, the restaurant is dog-friendly, and there is a beer garden.
Upstairs are nine en-suite rooms, among them the Cotswold Suite with a four-poster and a slipper bath, doubles, twins and a single, all with tea and coffee things and free wifi. Guests who book direct get free entry to the Model Village, breakfast and 10% off meals in the bar and restaurant. Trip.com lists check-in from 3pm and check-out by 10.30am, says pets cannot stay in the rooms, and gives on-site parking at £7.50 for the stay.
