There are lots of things you can do during a stay in your Cotswolds Cottage. You can visit the Cheltenham racecourse, you can hike across the countryside, you can explore the many towns and villages that await you, and you can also enjoy many stops in a whole host of different pubs and inns.
The Cotswolds is famous for quite a few things, but it certainly knows how to tempt you with a great pub or two while you are here! So let’s explore some of the best ones in the area, so that when you visit you’ll know exactly where to go.
First of all, it’s good to know that wherever you want to stay you won’t have to go too far to reach a pub. That’s ideal if you are going to spend most of your days out and about, enjoying the various delights of your Cotswolds Holiday. Once you’ve gone back to your Cotswolds cottage or accommodation to freshen up, you’ll be able to wander down the road and straight into your local pub for some refreshments.
For example if you are staying somewhere near Aston, you won’t want to miss a meal at the Trout Inn, at the equally wonderfully named Tadpole Bridge. Our Bakehouse holiday cottage is perfectly located just a short distance away so there will be no excuse for not trying it out! Local food and a great choice of drinks are on offer to delight you as soon as you arrive.
The Carpenters Arms is another pub worth paying a visit to on a day out. In fact if you are staying in one of our Cottages in Fulbrook, such as the quaintly named Footstool Cottage for example, this pub won’t be too far away for you. We also have the Manor Farm Cottages and Honeysuckle Cottage – both equally well placed to allow you to pop into the pub for a drink on your way back each evening!
That’s one of the great things about our cottages. We have lots of them dotted around the whole of the Cotswolds, and none of them are too far away from at least one pub. Even if you plan to cook at your holiday cottage most evenings, you can still set aside some time to soak up the atmosphere in one of the Cotswolds pubs every now and again.
It’s also worth taking note of where the pubs are located if you are planning to go out and explore for the day on foot. The good news is that they are fairly evenly spread, and they differ enough that you can always find something that will appeal to your own tastes.
It’s also possible to get a nice taste of history while you are visiting the Cotswolds pubs. Some of them have been standing for a hundred years or more, such as the Queen’s Head in Stow on the Wold for example. So be sure you don’t miss out on this intriguing and refreshing side of the Cotswolds.
