The Experience

A 17th-century Cotswold inn on the banks of the Thames; pick up a pint, drift into the garden, watch the world float by – this place is a drinking fisherman’s paradise. Inside you find timber frames, exposed stone walls, a wood-burner and local ales on tap. Logs are piled high in alcoves, good art hangs on the walls, old flagstones lead to the bar where seasonal and delicious modern British cooking is showcased alongside pub classics.

Bedrooms (three in the pub and three in the courtyard) have lovely fabrics, smartly dressed beds, smart TVs and fresh milk for your morning tea. Wake to a scrumptious breakfast: full English with local smoked bacon and Stornoway black pudding, shakshuka, pastries and jams, decent coffee.

The riverside garden is a huge attraction. In balmy weather you can watch boats pass as you eat al fresco from breakfast to dinner, admire smooth lawns, sit on a bench with a pint and a look at the menu, relax.

Reviews

The setting – smack on the banks of the infant river Thames – is straight out of Wind in the Willows and you can imagine Ratty and Toad enjoying a pint of Butcombe Gold in the lush riverside garden. The old toll house beside Tadpole Bridge has been spruced up with style; there are cosy-smart rooms, delicious pub food, and a relaxing, timbered bar where dogs doze by warming fires.
