A proper Cotswold village pub at the foot of Stow-on-the-Wold, with flagstone floors, low beams, fires in winter and a sun-filled beer garden in summer. Fourteen rustic boutique bedrooms, each individual in its layout and finish, with Hypnos beds, Bramley toiletries and Nespresso machines. Good free parking and a base from which Cheltenham, Bourton-on-the-Water, Blenheim Palace and the broader Cotswolds are easily explored. Dog and family-friendly.
