A proper Cotswold coaching inn on the old Fosse Way, with all the stone, beams, and fireplaces the region promises. The bar is the heart of it, locals, walkers, and weekend visitors all sharing the same space without any of the awkwardness that implies.
The bedrooms are good value for the area. The food is traditional and done well. Moreton-in-Marsh is one of the few Cotswold towns with a train station, making this a logical base.
