With a free jukebox, Art Deco piano, loyalty cards and children’s menus, this dog-friendly 18th-century inn is truly a community hub.

In a historic wool town, the classic Cotswold-stone exterior of this ‘likeable’ 17th-century inn gives way to a cool, contemporary decor that mixes wooden beams and ancient floorboards with Scandi-chic furnishings, a fine cocktail list and a family-friendly feel.

Embracing its rural roots, this traditional inn cosies up deep in the Cotswold countryside.

A brook runs through the village green in front of Nicola and Archie Orr- Ewing’s Cotswold-stone inn. Inside: hefty beams, high-backed settles, horse brasses and all the trappings of an ancient country pub, plus Giles Lee’s emphatically modern cooking. Characteristic dishes: fillet of sea trout, crisp gnocchi, pickled shallots; wild garlic leaf, pea and spinach risotto. Cottage-style bedrooms are above the inn and around a quiet courtyard.

The hub of a pretty Cotswolds village, this mellow-stone pub-with-rooms (Calcot Collection) is liked for its stylish accommodation and relaxed nature.
