Set among the rolling Cotswold hills, our four countryside pubs with rooms give handsome old buildings a fresh chapter. Think timber beams, uneven floors and a proper bar at the centre of it all – the kind of place where the fire is lit and no one is in a hurry to leave.
A country escape should always involve a well-kept pint and something generous on the table. Whether you’re calling in for one at the bar or settling in for supper by the fire, our kitchens champion seasonal produce from farmers and makers we know by name. Sunday Roasts are non-negotiable and served with all the trimmings. Mornings call for strong coffee and breakfasts that set you up for muddy boots and long walks.
We’ve never been ones to turn down a reason to assemble a crowd. From hotly contested pub quizzes to chef-led suppers, summer barbecues and the odd bat-and-ball rivalry, our calendar is rarely quiet. Whether you favour thoughtful cooking or a guided tour through the wine list, our events add a bit more fun to your week – locals and weekend escapees alike.

Last week at @thewildduckewen, we welcomed @finisterre and a wonderful group of women to celebrate the art of repair with artist and repair specialist @brockandrollin, whose beautifully considered approach gives well-loved garments a longer life.
The day began with a wild swim led by @rewildswimclub and @river_girl_, followed by a thoughtful repair workshop where guests learnt the craft of square darning and ways to extend the life of their clothing.
A day of cold water, creativity, good conversation, seasonal food and slow moments in the Cotswolds, exactly the kind of gathering we love to host!
Thank you to everyone involved 🌿
