What guests think
Reviews of The Mousetrap Inn describe a friendly, characterful pub-inn in a convenient location, where rooms often run small and parking can be tight, and occasional disruptions have affected operations.
Service is frequently praised, but a minority reported impatient or inconsistent interactions. Rooms are typically clean and comfortable, though some feel dated, with reports of kitchen-related noise and summer warmth without air conditioning. Evening meals draw strong praise, while breakfast quality and pacing range from excellent to lukewarm or delayed. Expect a cozy pub stay with more charm than polish.

Nice stay, staff extremely friendly, very convenient location- close to everything you’d want to visit in Bourton On The Water- Hawkstone a 25 minute walk. Only criticism is that breakfast let it down, slow service, dirty napkin and overdone toast & muffin. Limited car park spaces- top tip arrive early.

The Mousetrap was a short walk from the Centre of Bourton-on-the-Water, so very conveniently situated. When I stayed it had no parking facilities, perhaps because work was being carried out on part of the building, I'm not sure. We parked in the Royal British Legion car park, which was a 5 minute walk away. The room and bathroom were, in my opinion, tired, and needed sprucing up. Paint was peeling off in the bathroom and the electric shower only worked if you kept your finger on the 'start' button. The basin didn't drain properly. On the plus side, the staff were very helpful and the room clean and comfortable.

The Mousetrap Inn is located on the main road into Bourton - walking distance into the village which is positive. Checking in via the bar staff was perfect and the staff were very helpful. The car park however was very small so not ideal. Our room was small but clean and tidy but unfortunately looked out onto the very small car park which had a mobile refrigeratiion unit which was on 24/7. We thought the room was overpriced but due to it being summer and Bourton being a tourist attraction, the room rate was priced accordingly .... I guess. We had dinner in the evening, however due to the fact it was a Sunday we had to leave the restaurant/bar at 8.30 and go somewhere else to finish off our evening. The bar/restaurant staff were very helpful and sympathised with us. It seems strange that the rooms are dealt with separately from the Inn itself. Anyway, we enjoyed our stay but felt the room rate was expensive for what we actually received.

Very friendly helpful service. Comfortable bedrooms with a fan already provided for our hot weather stay.Very clean with plenty of towels, shampoo etc. No tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, although the very pleasant lady in reception/bar offered tea and coffee while the bar was open. She wasn’t there in the morning however and unfortunately a fire a few weeks earlier meant the kitchen was out of action so we had to walk to a different location for breakfast, where there was only one chef on duty. Service was very slow, although we did get tea and coffee quite quickly. The poached eggs in the eggs royale were hard, not the fault of the Mousetrap, so a bit disappointing. When the Mousetrap’s kitchen is up and running v again we would happily stay again.

The car parking was poor and cramped. The alternative parking is too far away when raining. Our 'superior' room was above the kitchen and very noisy when the kitchen was operating - from 7 a.m. The window let in a howling draught. The bar area is too small. The meals were very good, especially breakfast, but the dining area is not sufficiently spacious and tends to be noisy. The beers were nothing special. The Mousetrap is, however, close enough to the centre of the village and there is a pleasant walk along the river by the old mill if you walk away from the village and take the 'Windrush Way', which is signposted. All things considered, I would say it did not represent good value for the money. Better to stay at a Premier Inn and travel in daily to visit the village. The village is very popular with tourists though, so parking might be a problem. Try Burford instead!

The Mousetrap was a short walk from the Centre of Bourton-on-the-Water, so very conveniently situated. When I stayed it had no parking facilities, perhaps because work was being carried out on part of the building, I'm not sure. We parked in the Royal British Legion car park, which was a 5 minute walk away. The room and bathroom were, in my opinion, tired, and needed sprucing up. Paint was peeling off in the bathroom and the electric shower only worked if you kept your finger on the 'start' button. The basin didn't drain properly. On the plus side, the staff were very helpful and the room clean and comfortable.

Because of rain we wanted to drop off our luggage. No one around. We stopped a person walking by and he went into kitchen to get us help. We left luggage but felt uneasy. It was in an hallway near dirty kitchen. Checking into our room we felt we were imposing on the staff. Very short and impatient. Same Later eating dinner. Again we felt like we were bothering the staff. The meal was good but not worth the grief nor the hassle. The exterior needs a LOT of cleaning and attention. Overall we would not recommend Customer service ruined our stay

We had a very comfortable stay in the delightful room at the Mousetrap Inn, the size and decor of the rooms made up for the limited parking. We booked three rooms and my father has limited mobility, as all the rooms are on top floor there was no accessible room, so they gave him the one closest to the stairs. There was a noisy fan on all night which caused disrupted sleep. It either needs maintenance or switching off at night. Other than this it was a very pleasant stay with a lovely breakfast.

If you want delicious food in the evening and a bed for the night in a pretty village, then you won’t be disappointed. Staff were friendly too. However the room was tiny and very dated and the en suite was not much more than a cupboard, soundproofing is very poor. Breakfast was a little bit Fawlty Towers, I was told a flat white wasn’t a problem but was given a cup of black coffee,Asking for hot milk seemed to be disconcerting. Toast was forgotten, there was no salt, pepper or jams and marmalades on the table and there were apologies for the lack of yoghurt for my muesli, which was very basic and dry. The general sense is that this pub is a good restaurant, very Farrow and Ball and stripped pine downstairs but no effort upstairs. Parking was limited to one tight space because there is building work and a temporary kitchen, which has used up the remainder. This is our second time here, the last time was before Covid. This time we were here to visit Sezincote (wow) Food in the evening has been consistently good but breakfast a definite deterioration.

The US motel style rooms out the back of the property didn't really make you feel like you were getting value for money, a bit cheap if I'm honest. Plus close proximity to the kitchen meant you heard the culinary machine working early morning and later at night. This may not be an issue if you're staying upstairs in the main building. The pub/restauarant, food and staff were truly excellent.

Shortly before our stay, we received a notice from Mousetrap saying that their kitchen had caught fire and that they would not be able to have guests. This was out of their control and we understand. However, we still haven’t received a refund for what we paid and Expedia is telling us Mousetrap is declining to issue the refund for the stay that we weren’t able to take because of their fire.

Because of rain we wanted to drop off our luggage. No one around. We stopped a person walking by and he went into kitchen to get us help. We left luggage but felt uneasy. It was in an hallway near dirty kitchen. Checking into our room we felt we were imposing on the staff. Very short and impatient. Same Later eating dinner. Again we felt like we were bothering the staff. The meal was good but not worth the grief nor the hassle. The exterior needs a LOT of cleaning and attention. Overall we would not recommend Customer service ruined our stay

Nice stay, staff extremely friendly, very convenient location- close to everything you’d want to visit in Bourton On The Water- Hawkstone a 25 minute walk. Only criticism is that breakfast let it down, slow service, dirty napkin and overdone toast & muffin. Limited car park spaces- top tip arrive early.

The Mousetrap Inn is located on the main road into Bourton - walking distance into the village which is positive. Checking in via the bar staff was perfect and the staff were very helpful. The car park however was very small so not ideal. Our room was small but clean and tidy but unfortunately looked out onto the very small car park which had a mobile refrigeratiion unit which was on 24/7. We thought the room was overpriced but due to it being summer and Bourton being a tourist attraction, the room rate was priced accordingly .... I guess. We had dinner in the evening, however due to the fact it was a Sunday we had to leave the restaurant/bar at 8.30 and go somewhere else to finish off our evening. The bar/restaurant staff were very helpful and sympathised with us. It seems strange that the rooms are dealt with separately from the Inn itself. Anyway, we enjoyed our stay but felt the room rate was expensive for what we actually received.

Dining
Evening meals and the pub restaurant receive strong praise. Breakfast feedback is mixed, with multiple reports of slow service or lukewarm food alongside positive experiences; operations were temporarily affected by a kitchen fire during some stays.

Never had hot food at breakfast. Most of the food was luke warm at best. Some item were stone cold. Only once were we given toast even after we asked for this included item. It really was poor stay.

Very friendly helpful service. Comfortable bedrooms with a fan already provided for our hot weather stay.Very clean with plenty of towels, shampoo etc. No tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, although the very pleasant lady in reception/bar offered tea and coffee while the bar was open. She wasn’t there in the morning however and unfortunately a fire a few weeks earlier meant the kitchen was out of action so we had to walk to a different location for breakfast, where there was only one chef on duty. Service was very slow, although we did get tea and coffee quite quickly. The poached eggs in the eggs royale were hard, not the fault of the Mousetrap, so a bit disappointing. When the Mousetrap’s kitchen is up and running v again we would happily stay again.

If you want delicious food in the evening and a bed for the night in a pretty village, then you won’t be disappointed. Staff were friendly too. However the room was tiny and very dated and the en suite was not much more than a cupboard, soundproofing is very poor. Breakfast was a little bit Fawlty Towers, I was told a flat white wasn’t a problem but was given a cup of black coffee,Asking for hot milk seemed to be disconcerting. Toast was forgotten, there was no salt, pepper or jams and marmalades on the table and there were apologies for the lack of yoghurt for my muesli, which was very basic and dry. The general sense is that this pub is a good restaurant, very Farrow and Ball and stripped pine downstairs but no effort upstairs. Parking was limited to one tight space because there is building work and a temporary kitchen, which has used up the remainder. This is our second time here, the last time was before Covid. This time we were here to visit Sezincote (wow) Food in the evening has been consistently good but breakfast a definite deterioration.
