Overall Ratings & Reviews Chestnuts B&B

What I liked about this property was that it was right in the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water. What I didn't like was the accessibility to the limited & very compact parking area to the rear of the building. Parking in this location (if not in the B&B parks) is either expensive, restricted or non-existent. Also, on a busy Saturday (when we checked in), with so many tourists in town, the lane to the rear of the building was completely filled with people, making it impossible to identify. This was a hard property to locate (on a busy day). On a week day, this may be a completely different situation. This was the smallest room we had during our month long trip around the UK, and had minimal power outlets. The property is old, & to a certain degree, poorly maintained. Room wasn't very big - our one suitcase had to squeeze in between the wall & the corner of the bed - I had to step over the suitcase to get out from my side of the bed. Bathroom was also very compact and the shower door leaked every time we used it, no matter how careful we were. Passageway to our room had a funky smell about it, that multiple reed diffusers were used in an attempt to camouflage. This just made it worse. In making this comment, I must admit we did not complain about this at the time of our visit. On the plus side, bed was nice and comfy. It was quiet. Breakfasts were good & we had lovely chats with our fellow guests. Lots of options for evening meals within walking distance.

An absolutely lovely few days, perfect location with a very warm welcome from our host.

Breakfast was lovely also,Would definitely use again. Small but perfect for us two.

The hosts were absolutely lovely and made the stay so special, even leaving a special hamper as it was my wife’s birthday! The B&B is perfectly placed right in the middle of the village and the rooms were lovely.

There were no problems we loved it.We will stay again hopefully longer

The B&B is lovely and cosy and the staff are fantastic. The main entrance was tricky to find and parking was a bit unclear. Although I received information about 6 parking spaces available to guest prior to arriving, they were not that clear on the day. We ended up parking elsewhere. It's not a massive issue but be prepared to pay around £10 per day. Our room was beautifully decorated and had a small shower/ toilet. The building is about 300 years old so do not expect a brand new facilities. It's charming and cosy but it is small. The room was warm and clean. You need to order your breakfast the day before and select one of 4 options at one of 3 sittings. You can choose between porridge, banana bread, granola or Full English and you book your table for 8.30, 9 or 9.30am. In addition to your choice you can have plenty of toasts with jams or marmalade, Weetabix, cereal, coffee, tea, orange and apple juice. The dining room again is cosy and there is not a lot of space with the tables big enough for only two people We had full English and it was delicious and very well prepared. All in all, a lovely place but if like me you enjoy space, you might not be 100% comfortable... My wife liked it for more than me so it shows that opinions are very subjective.

Excellent location with a comfy bed and lovely breakfast!

Good central location. Room in need of general renovation. Minimal interaction with staff. Breakfast was ok and placed at the table, everything else was self service, find your own cutlery, hot n cold drinks etc.

This hotel is the best location in Bourton. Centrally located on High St. Price was good. Parking was surprisingly decent - this is always going to be hard in the Cotswolds but they did have several parking slots. Room was clean. Downside was the shower door was broken and overall maintenance could be better.

Great location, wonderful town to stay in, but parking was a real problem

Our room was on the top floor it seemed to been recently redone and was very cozy. The breakfast choices were perfect and very tasty. Great banana bread. The building itself was very hard to find . We had to ask the shop owners as there were no signs around .

Great stay very comfortable good breakfast great people

The location was great. We visited several Cotswolds villages. This one was the most pleasant to walk around. The service was great. The full English breakfast was wonderful with eggs(fried or scrambled), bacon, sausage, tomatoes, beans, and toast with creamy butter and an assortment of jams and honey. The young lady working there was very helpful and polite. Overall, a great stay.

Great location, room was clean and cosy. Very friendly staff.

The property was very good value for money.

Second time we've stayed here now, it's a great location and the rooms are surprisingly quiet when it's busy outside. The staff are great and helpful, the breakfast is very good as well. Only downside is if you go during peak tourist times it maybe a struggle to get parking.

Home-style feeling and charm in this bed & breakfast and breakfast was delicious. Thanks for a great stay!

Positive : The area of Bourton-on-the-water is amazing and the B&B is located at the heart of it. The staff, when there, were amicable and the breakfast was very good. Negatives : The quality, cleanliness and the amenities of the establishment are misrepresented on the website. The room we had was outdated and dirty, and major problems in the room (scorching hot water with absolutely no pressure, hard water stains on the the shower doors and handles, hot water tank making extreme noise in our room everytime someone in the B&B opened a faucet, stained carpet, stained walls, stained pillows...) did not justify the high price of the room. The B&B is located on the BACK of a building, using a sketchy back-door that feels like a delivery door where there is no reception. The picture on the website shows a store that fronts the main street and the water but it is a misrepresentation and it should be taken down right now as it is misleading.

Beautiful village great place to visit and explore

I hate to leave a bad review of this hotel because it's obvious they care about their hospitality; we enjoyed the employees. The location can't be beat... right in the center of the Cotswolds from what I could tell. It was so nice to be next the the stream and the Motor Museum. We arrived after check-in hours and received a nice welcome note and keys to our room left out. We never did have to check in for the two nights we were there. I never ran into anyone besides the breakfast help. Breakfast was good... the choices 1)a full English breakfast 2) Grilled Banana bread 3) Parfait; we enjoyed them all, but mostly the English breakfast. Breakfast doesn't start until 8:15, I believe. They have you order the night before. We had to leave early the second morning and they were kind enough to throw together 4 parfaits for us. I know there were warnings about sloping floors and the building being old, but I wanted to experience that old world charm. 😁 We came from a gorgeous hotel in Porto, Portugal that was flawless, so this room was a shock to us. It was like entering an old aunt's home. Semi- cluttered, quaint, and not the cleanest. The pillows disgusted me and the carpet was dirty and the bathroom cloogy. In further inspection, the decorative pillows weren't as old and disgusting as I thought. The beds were comfortable, even the pull-out sofa the teenagers slept on. Parking was not easy... only six hotel spots...three in back and three in front
