About
The Lansdowne is a guest house for adults in Victorian buildings on Lansdowne Road, a quiet street a few minutes' walk from the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water and the River Windrush.
It has 14 rooms in the main house and the Boutique Quarters: superior rooms with king-size or four-poster beds, standard doubles and twins, and two singles. There are also the Snowshill Garden Suite, for two, with its own garden and a log burner, and Oakey Cottage next door, a two-bedroom cottage for four with a courtyard, parking for two cars, a highchair and a travel cot, and breakfast at the guest house.
A breakfast cooked to order is included, served from 7.30am to 9.30am with last orders at 9.15am, and there is free parking outside. The guest house is adults-only and pet-free, though its site lists Oakey Cottage as suitable for children and pets, so ask if you are bringing either. There is no step-free access; the Ground Floor Room, with a walk-in shower, is the easiest to reach. Its Booking.com listing gives check-in from 3pm to 11.30pm, with your arrival time sent ahead, and check-out by 10am, and asks for payment by bank transfer before arrival.
The Mousetrap Inn is on the same road for an evening meal.
