Crown Inn, Frampton Mansell

This thriving village local dates back to 1633, when it was a cider house with a slaughterhouse next door. The three rooms feature exposed stone walls and wooden beams, with an open fire in each. In summer lighted candles replace the fires. The suntrap front garden offers fine views over the Golden Valley.

Entry from the garden at the front is into a corridor with a centre bar in front of you and a room either side. The room to the right is best described as a lounge with naked Cotswold stone walls, stone mullioned window to the Southern aspect and a real fire. A door at the back leads to toilets, a spiral staircase in the corner leads to staff accommodation over, and a door in the opposite corner leads to the cellar. There is a hatch to the back of the bar where drinks may be ordered

Left off the corridor leads into what may best be described as the bar, again with naked stone walls, South facing stone mullioned window and real fire.

Down steps from the bar is a third room, a later addition to the building but no less charming best described as a restaurant. To the rear of the bar there is a walkway down a couple of steps to an area that affords rear access to the car park and the hotel reception area and toilets.

Children are welcome. Very good food. Attached is a modern 12-bedroom hotel annex with ample car parking.
