The location of this restaurant is simply excellent, it's a shame the food couldn't match this. Bourton-on-the-Water is a gorgeous little village and The Croft sits banv in the middle and enjoys beautiful views over the river. When booking make sure you ask for a window table. The staff were friendly, but the food not so good. I ordered a crayfish salad and duck for mains. All was ok, but nothing special. The salad was basic and consisted of nothing more than lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. The duck came with backed sweet potatoes, which in my view didn't work as a combination. In addition the duck was overdone and quite chewy. I had a few of my fiancé's chips, these were marginally better than oven chips. I am tempted to give this 3 stars, but I would eat here again because of the views/locations. If you are staying in Bourton-on-the-Water there is not much else. However if you are not drinking and are willing to drive I suggest you venture out further to a surrounding village.

A fabulous local establishment in the beautiful village of Bourton on the Water. Service was excellent, with plenty of seating both inside and out. Right on the edge of the river Windrush which is clearly the villages most prized feature. The river rises just outside the small village of Taddington approximately 10 miles away, the river meanders for some 35 miles until reaching Newbridge in Oxfordshire where it flows into the River Thames. As for this Restaurant and Pub, look no further of you want a quiet drink and lovely food right in the heart if the village. The Salmon Poke Bowl, and the Pulled Beef Brisket Bowl were delightful. Highly recommended. Whilst you're there, make sure you have a lovely cold pint of Hawkstone lager (well done Mr Clarkson)....splendid ale.

Came here around brunch time a few weeks back. They’ve taken plenty of measures to ensure cleanliness and safety during the COVID pandemic. Hands are sanitised upon entry and they take your details for Track and Trace. There are a few tables outside but they’ve also moved all the indoor seating 2m apart to ensure social distancing. The indoor decor and general atmosphere is very calming and soothing When we went in we weren’t offered a menu, but we’d seen the board outside advertising waffles~ which is what we came in for. The food was decent, not mind blowing but also no bad. I would consider coming here again if i was in the area however I didn’t feel there was anything particularly special about the food or selection here

The Croft at Bourton on the Water - what an absolute shower! I just wanted a coffee while sitting outside. There were only two other people in the outside section. The rest was empty. The member of staff who was the 'Guardian Of The Gates' refused entry on the grounds that they were fully booked up! "I'll only be a few minutes for a coffee". No, there were no tables free! Got a coffee elsewhere. 20 minutes later the 'fully booked' outside section now had four people occupying two tables (see accompanying photo). I certainly won't waste my time trying to get served at this establishment again - there are better offerings elsewhere in Bourton on the Water that will have my repeat custom and recommendation.

Managed to get a table outside but there are so many packed together it is inevitable that other people’s children/pets will only detract from your experience. VERY expensive for sub-par food, I would go as far as saying the burger meat is such poor quality it shouldn’t be served. The price is shocking for such poor quality and we ended up having to leave our table and pay in-doors as the staff solely focused on getting more and more people onto newly available tables. It’s a shame as the restaurant itself is lovely and in a great location - but we would recommend walking past here and going to an alternative.

I come to The Croft for breakfast most weekends for a cheap meal while on a grueling diet. The Full English is genuinely the best in not just Bourton-on-the-Water but the surrounding area. The poached eggs in particular are my favourite. The coffee is great too! They're super dog friendly so it's perfect to pop into before / after a dog walk. Service is always really friendly, though understandably isn't always super quick because of how busy it can get. As a local I'd advise booking ahead of time or coming early before all the tourists arrive! Well worth the wait though on those occasions it's super busy.
