In a cluster of Cotswold stone buildings, Chris York and Kate Lewis run their all-round inviting pub-with-rooms with great community spirit. The dog-friendly, family-friendly spot has welcomed travellers since the 18th century. The buzzy bar, its counter built from wood panels salvaged from a church, has real ales, and real tunes from a reconditioned jukebox. At mealtimes, ‘high-quality’ seasonal produce transforms into tasty pub grub, including a singular vegan menu. Summertime, a vintage Airstream trailer serves Tex Mex classics outside. Rustic bedrooms, across the courtyard, have a mix of Arts & Crafts-style pieces, vegan chocolates, bottled filtered water. Top-floor rooms gaze across the valley; a spacious mezzanine suite suits a family. At breakfast, a long buffet, plus cooked options.
