    The only thing negative was that our room was directly over the kitchen meat fridge/ storage container therefore we were overlooked and it was a little noisy couldn't open the window or the curtains .

    The food was excellent at the Mousetrap , the staff extremely helpful and the location minutes walk from the town.

    Lack of Cellphone communication and poor Wifi. We were on a busy weekend which was 3 days with a bank holiday, Bourton on the water area was very busy and very hard to find a parking place. The Mousetrap Inn have 8 private parking lots (which is a lot in compare to other places we saw around) but we couldn't get a free parking lot since they all were occupied.

    The places seems like it was redecorated, the room was big, with a big bathroom, a lot of natural light in both rooms, big and cozy bed. The location is 6 min walking distance from the center where all the shops and restaurants are.

    The parking is horrendous. There is not a lot of car parking spaces. It took our friends nearly an hour to find a car parking space. The local council really needs to look into this issue.

    The Mousetrap Inn was a lovely place. The service, food and drink was excellent

    I ordered scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toast and a pineapple juice. It was delicious, but that was all we had… a small glass of juice and 1 piece of toast with eggs & salmon. It was cooked to perfection, but it was a small portion. Maybe some cereal or fruit on offer too would be nice.

    Lovely pub; great lunch; scrumptious breakfast (but could be larger portions); accommodation very comfortable.

    There were backlit buttons on the mirror for light and heat but they glowed purple all through the night which meant the bathroom door had to be closed. Not necessarily a problem but the door was noisy to open and close through the night.

    The Inn is in a great location, easy walking distance to the town area. Parking was right outside our room and there were no stairs to climb!!!

    Food and drinks were a little expensive. Didn't appreciate service charge being added automatically as this should be at guests discretion - it's embarrassing for both staff and customers having to ask for it to be removed to add on your own gratuity

    Very clean and easy walking distance of the centre. Room was comfortable, very clean and could best be described as cosy. Breakfast was very nice indeed

    Room was not particularly clean, found Hair in the bed. Walls have marks on and dont seem to be cleaned particularly well. Was not horrific but certainly not the cleanest place we have stayed. Would expect a cleaner room.

    Breakfast was great, The Dinner was also great and the pub has a nice atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and always helpful.

    A well-located B&B with comfortable rooms, with some minor noise challenges.

    A couple of things did affect the quality of our stay. We stayed in Room 11 which is above the kitchen, and while the evening noise stopped around 10 pm, it started again about 7:30 am with an extraction fan noise. Also the bathroom door didn’t close or lock properly, which was a little inconvenient. The bathroom had no blind or covering on the window, so the early morning sunlight streamed in. This wouldn’t prevent us from staying here again though. There are limited parking spaces. We were lucky enough to get a parking space but appreciate this could be an inconvenience if you aren’t able to get one as you’ll be walking with luggage.

    The room itself was very comfortable, and a nice place to relax after a day of exploring. The location couldn’t be better: just a short stroll into town, around 20 minutes to Hawkestone, and we walked Lower Slaughter with ease, around half an hour.

    We were in room 2 in the annexe and the room was tired and in need of a bit of TLC! Could have done with a bit of a refurb, sockets by the bed both sides were broken, curtains not fitted well and room in need of a lick of paint and the mattress needs changing! That said, the room was spotlessly clean and the lower standard of the room was reflected in the price. We would stay here again but request a room in the pub next time

    The pub was really lovely, staff couldn’t do enough for us, breakfast was delicious, we also ate here at lunch and dinner time and every meal was outstanding in every way! The location is perfect

    The breakfast wasn't great - we had eggs benedict and the muffins weren't toasted and the poached eggs were solid! we had waited about 20 minutes too so were a bit disappointed.

    The room was lovely and cosy and spotless, location was great on the edge of the town and bonus it has its own car park as Bourton was super busy!
