A really nice place to stay, staff are friendly & helpful.
If 5 star luxury it’s what your looking for it’s probably not the place for you, but for everyone else I would recommend as a good place to stay.

A lovely friendly pub with comfortable quiet rooms which have recently been up dated. Really fantastic value for money with full English breakfast included. Not too far to explore the Cotswolds.

Fabulous one night Valentine's getaway
We love this place! This was our 3rd stay, and we will keep coming back!
Bridget and the Team are lovely, the dog friendly rooms are fab (and spacious) and set in their own oak framed building within the grounds (so nice and quiet if you want to retreat early, or have an undisturbed lie-in 😊.
Nice menu with Specials available, excellent food (including a delicious breakfast), and a great atmosphere.
See you again soon ☺️🙏👍
