About
The Old Manse is a Cotswold-stone inn built in 1748 on Victoria Street in Bourton-on-the-Water, beside the River Windrush in the middle of the village. It is run by Greene King Inns.
It has 15 en-suite rooms. Three take dogs; they go first come, first served and must be booked ahead with the hotel or on 0345 608 6040, at £10 a night extra. Dogs may use the bar but not the restaurant, though the hotel can reserve a dog-friendly table.
The pub serves classics such as steaks, fish and chips, sausage and mash and pies, with real ales, from midday to 9pm, and to 8pm on Sundays. Breakfast, full English or continental, is from 8am to 10am, and guests who book direct get 20 per cent off lunch and dinner during their stay.
Parking is the drawback: there are only a few spaces, so on busy days you may need one of the village's pay car parks. Check-in is from 2pm, and reception is staffed from 7am to 10pm. Same-day bookings are taken until 9pm.
