An iconic Cotswold pub, restored to perfection, with a cracking bar, elevated pub food and some super-smart bedrooms in pub and extension

The bar is the characterful hub of this vibrant inn: chunky beams, flagstone floors, exposed stone walls and a vast fireplace with logs aglow make for a warm and happy entry, with a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Tuck into a bar snack and a pint of something local while you check out the menu – proper, simple food, cooked well and with a menu that changes regularly. In summer you can enjoy it all on the sheltered terrace surrounded by pots of olive and box.

There are two stylish snugs away from the bar, both with wood-burning stoves and plenty of coffee table books, so perfect for working or reading quietly. Bedrooms (upstairs and on the ground floor) are spacious and sumptuous, some with their own terrace, some with copper tubs, but all with plenty of storage, big well-dressed beds and smart TVs. Those in the extension are smaller but similar in layout.

Set off on glorious walks through the Cotswolds, return to an aromatherapy massage or facial. A treat.
