About
The Mousetrap is a nineteenth-century inn on Lansdowne, the road into Bourton-on-the-Water from the west, a short walk from the village centre and the River Windrush. It is a free house with a bar serving craft beers, including Hawkstone and Hook Norton, and a restaurant of hearty cooking.
There are eleven rooms, each for two and each with a shower: eight on the first floor, from a king superior to smaller doubles, and three ground-floor twins, which can be made up as a superking, that take dogs. Dogs cost £15 each, two at most, paid at the inn.
Breakfast is served in the restaurant from 8am to 10am. The restaurant serves dinner every day and lunch from Friday to Sunday. Small and medium dogs are welcome in the bar and restaurant, one per person; tell the pub in advance.
The car park is small and spaces go to whoever arrives first; there is usually room on the nearby roads. Check-in runs from 3pm to 8pm. The inn warns that wifi and mobile signal can be limited.
