Historic Cotswold inn with acclaimed dining and pet-friendly rooms
Dining
The Lamb Inn's restaurant serves the finest produce of the Cotswolds in a relaxed, rustic setting. The Sunday roast beef is cooked to perfection with melt-in-the-mouth meat, crisp Yorkshire puddings, and a selection of vegetables. The cozy bar offers a carefully curated selection of real ales and high-quality house wines, alongside a Shepherd's Pie that guests have called the best they've ever had.
Rooms & Suites
The hotel offers spacious suites with king-size beds, as well as smaller double rooms, each featuring en suite facilities and tea and coffee making provisions. Many rooms display exposed Cotswold stone walls and rustic decor that reflects the building's 16th-century origins. Some accommodations, such as the Sherbourne Suite, provide extra space and comfort, with premium bedding and soft towels.
