All types of unique and beautiful pubs can be found across the Cotswold countryside. They offer everyone a warm welcome in comfortable surroundings. Stepping through the wooden door of the Cotswold stone historic coaching inns you’ll discover beamed ceilings, worn stone floors and friendly staff. Many host themed evenings where you can enjoy everything from an elegant wine tasting to a superb Sunday roast in fabulous surroundings. From the pub gardens you will find some spectacular views across the Cotswold countryside.

Most Cotswold pubs are surrounded by beautiful walking country, and, happily, most welcome walkers and their muddy boots. One of the most perfect days out has to be a reviving country walk with a pub lunch en route. You can then return to a roaring fire in a peaceful, holiday-cottage heaven.
