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.
‘The Wild Duck is your new Cotswolds local’
The Double Red Duke awarded 4th place in the National Pub and Bar Awards Industry’s Choice Award
Gun bus loaded, flat caps on, and the whole gang rattling down the farm tracks outside Kemble for our first Shooting Party of the season.
Elevenses was taken very seriously: oysters on ice, a proper pie, sausages still warm from the pan, a doorstop of cheese and Bloody Marys in tankards. Then back out under a low autumn sun that just wouldn’t quit.
As the light went, everyone piled into the Feasting Room at @thewildduckewen. Candles lit, a long table for twelve, drinks by the fire, and nobody in any hurry to go home.

Travellers have been stopping off at the @doubleredduke since the 1600s, back when it was a coaching inn on the road through Clanfield.
These days it’s open fires, deep sofas and long autumn lunches, but the welcome is much the same. 🍁 #DoubleRedDuke #TheCotswolds
Bird by William Morris, 1878. It now lives in one of our cosy rooms, and it’s still turning heads nearly 150 years later.
Pairs of birds face off across every repeat, among tulips, sunflowers and far too many leaves, and it still looks good in an old room with wonky beams.
His country place, @Kelmscottmanor, is just down the road from us and it`s clear where he found inspiration behind this beautiful design. Come and see it for yourself @masonsarmsclanfield 🌿
Candlelit tables, plates piled high and a good bottle or two. 🍷
Christmas is best spent around a table with your favourite people. And preferably someone else doing the washing up.
