About
The Dial House is a hotel on the High Street in Bourton-on-the-Water, a few minutes' walk from the River Windrush and the Narrow Bridge.
It has 13 rooms. Five were designed by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen; the others are in the coach house, including a group room, and on the ground floor of the main house, where the garden rooms are. Breakfast is included and rooms start at £160 a night. Its Booking.com listing gives check-in from 3pm to 10pm and check-out by 10.30am, and says it takes no pets and welcomes children older than 12, with no cots or extra beds.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday, afternoon tea at lunchtime, and a Sunday roast from 12pm to 4pm, with no dinner on Sundays. You can eat in the restaurant, the lounge, on the terrace or in the lower garden.
Guests have free parking at the hotel, which saves a hunt for a space in the village's car parks on busy days. The car park has ANPR cameras, so the hotel asks guests to register their car's number with reception.
