The Frogmill

It began as a coaching inn several centuries ago, offering rest and food to travellers passing through the area, and that welcoming spirit is still very much alive when you visit. The place has been updated with modern amenities while keeping its traditional bones intact, so you get comfort without losing character.

You'll find comfortable bar spaces with local ales and usually a fire burning when the weather turns cold. When it's nicer outside, the gardens provide a pleasant spot to relax. The kitchen keeps things straightforward with seasonal menus, whether you're stopping in for lunch or dinner. It's dependable food rather than pretentious, which is exactly what works in a place like this.

Andoversford's location is genuinely convenient for exploring further. Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold are short drives away, and Cheltenham isn't far if you want a bigger town for shopping or galleries. You can visit for an afternoon or stay overnight and use it as a base for countryside walks. It's one of those establishments that simply does what it sets out to do well.
