This country pub sits in Kingscote, a small village in the southern Cotswolds, and it's the kind of place that genuinely makes you feel welcome the moment you arrive.
On cooler days you can settle by the fire, or head out to the garden when the weather's on your side. The kitchen focuses on proper pub food – hearty classics and traditional British comfort fare – with daily specials that change regularly. The bar stocks a solid selection of local ales and ciders, giving you a real taste of what the region's craft producers are doing right now.
If you've been out on the footpaths or cycling through the surrounding countryside, this is exactly where you'll want to stop to rest and eat something substantial. Kingscote is quiet and understated, and the pub really does function as the village's gathering point. It works perfectly for an evening out if you're staying in the area and don't fancy traveling far. The location is also useful for venturing further into the region: Tetbury with its established antique shops is nearby, Nailsworth has developed a strong independent character, and Stroud, known for its farmers' market, is equally easy to reach. Whether you're using it as a base during your stay or just passing through to explore more of what the Cotswolds offers, this pub fits naturally into either plan.
