'Just how an old inn should be', this Grade II listed Georgian building stands atop a hill in a honey-stone Cotswold village. It is run as a dining pub by brothers Will (chef) and Tom (front-of-house) Greenstock; Richard Tustin is the manager. These 'engaging hosts' are 'in evidence throughout the evening'; their staff are 'young, enthusiastic'. 'We were addressed by name from the moment we checked in.' The bedrooms, in modern style, are good sized, with a well-equipped bathroom, but light sleepers may hear traffic. An inspector's room at the back was 'lovely, light; well thought out: good storage; a most comfortable bed; glazed doors opened on to the garden'. Downstairs, there are ancient beams, wooden floors and tables, sisal matting, stools by the bar. Modern dishes on a blackboard menu use local ingredients, eg, fennel risotto, crumbled goat's cheese; rack of lamb, mustard greens. Vegetables are home grown, and eggs come from the brothers' chickens. Following a comment in last year's Guide, they have introduced freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast, which has 'excellent preserves, good toast, tea and coffee'. 'We loved our stay; they made us feel at home,' say visitors in 2009. (Jennifer Kipphut, Jane and Stephen Marshalt)
