Amberley Inn, Amberley

Built of Cotswold Stone in 1865, it was partly re-built 1898-9 by Stroud Brewery, and considerably enlarged and refurbished in 1926. Much of the 1926 refitting survives in three rooms

From the front hotel entrance there is a hall / reception with a parquet floor and 1926 stone fireplace. At the end is a hatch with pair of leaded windows to the lounge bar servery. There is a restaurant room on the front left, and another room beyond. A separate entrance on the right-hand side of the building leads to the bars – lobby with door to the left to the lounge bar and a door to the right to the public bar.

On the front right is the lounge bar with a parquet floor, interwar fielded panelling to three-quarters height all around the room. It has a fielded panelled bar counter with a 50s -style shelf just under the top which is full of books. There is an interwar Tudor-style stone fireplace; fixed seating in the bay window; fielded panelled door with some glazing at the top and above is a ‘Gentlemen’ sign. Bell pushes in the panelling.

Public bar has a bar counter which looks like the 1926 one as does some fixed bench seating. Bar back lower shelving could be 1926 work but the upper section is painted grey and looks modern.
