The Cotswold

You'll find traditional pub food on the menu—the kind of honest cooking that ranges from warming classics to lighter fare—alongside a decent selection of beers, wines, and spirits. It's equally suited to popping in for a quick drink after exploring the surrounding countryside or settling in for a longer evening out.

Charlton Kings has a long history, and establishments like this have always been central to how villages actually function, bringing people together across generations. The pub sits conveniently within the village itself, yet you're only a short distance from Cheltenham town centre when you want it, which means you can easily dip into something quieter without going far. Whether you're staying locally or using the area as a base for exploring the Cotswolds more widely, The Cotswold gives you an unpretentious spot to eat, drink, and get a genuine sense of village life. It's the kind of place where you understand why community spaces like this matter.
