The Dial House Hotel Restaurant in Cotswold

We chanced upon this restaurant (part of the hotel) when looking for somewhere in Bourton that wasn’t booked up on a Saturday evening. We were thrilled albeit it quite surprised they could fit us in, despite it being relatively early (about 6pm) as everywhere else seemed to have ‘sorry, fully booked’ signs. We also needed some vegan choices.We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and staff were attentive and friendly and very professional.We ordered Moroccan humous, chopped pistachio and apricot with pitta as a starter. We followed this with braised beef in red wine, herby dumplings, crispy sage which was also served with a generous helping of crusty bread and butter. As well as the vegan option of Japanese ramen noodles (spiced broth, vegetable gyozas, baby park choi, scallion, mushrooms).As you can hopefully see from my pics, the chef takes pride in presentation but the quantity was perfect too…and very tasty!!

Great place, great location!Stayed here for two nights and very much enjoyed it. Should be more than a three Star hotel, with great rooms and friendly staff. Had both dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and enjoyed both. One minor point (but not enough to reduce my rating), the croissant at breakfast was not to my liking, but hey, I'm a little particular about my pastry 😁

It's a table service restaurant, there's no bar you wait to be seated and served, it's a little pricey but the food does look nice,

Lovely place to stay. We stayed in the coach house and had a good size room. A little noise outside but nothing unreasonable. The hotel bar in the garden is great with friendly service.

Don't go out of your way for the Sunday roast. Average. Under cooked vegetables. Yorkshire pudding is huge. Fun for about 5 seconds and then you realise it encompasses half the plate. Add in the fact they only provide blunt knives and you quickly realise there's too much thought required to enjoy the meal.

The hotel itself is in a beautiful old building, furnished in a stylishly homey way. The food is excellent. The staff are friendly and thoughtfully helpful. We had a wonderful few days with the hotel as our very central and well-placed base. I’d recommend it to anyone.

We had Sunday Lunch. The food was excellent and the staff were great. Very attentive, polite, obliging and friendly. Definitely come again.

This has to be one of the worst most expensive places and the worst kind of atmosphere and food ever I have come across in hospitality industry when you arrive you not treated properly you sit on a table and get ignored the woman gave us a stinking look like daggers very unprofessional and arrogance is the word I would use quite a lot in this place.For the price of a glass of wine is 6 pounds ( small glass) whilst it's £3 for a Coca-Cola soft drink ! and rosé wine what you get is just a cheap bottle of plonk I've tasted many wines I can assure that this Ros'e why is a very cheap brand!I would not recommend this to anyone this place for service communication and customer service is non-existent

Had Sunday lunch, absolutely delicious, recently taken over the dial house have one of the best chefs in the cotswolds which makes it a must when visiting Bourton on the Water, the service and food are second to none.

Beautiful hotel sets in a lovely village excellent position right in the centre breakfast was excellent staff particularly friendly and helpful especially Kelly the waitress who was amazing can’t wait to go back again.
