The Grade II-listed Cotswold-stone exterior of this 17th century inn belies a comprehensively modernised, altered and updated interior. The bar features a large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, slate floors and oak drinking counters dividing the space.

To the rear of the bar there is the restaurant area featuring a large breakfast bar and conservatory just off a newly fitted kitchen.

Opening times correct as of 11/11/2026

Historic Interest

The Star Inn is a Grade II listed building dating from the late 17th century, originally constructed as a house before being converted into a public house. It is recorded as an inn from 1782 and was formally listed on 24 March 1987. Constructed from coursed rubble limestone, the building retains strong traditional Cotswold character, featuring two prominent front gables, stone doorways and a substantial rear wing.

The pub has a long-standing connection with local brewing history. In 1903, the recorded owner was Godsell & Sons of the Salmon Springs Brewery in Stroud, and it operated as an alehouse with a permitted closing time of 10pm. CAMRA's 1996 guide Real Ale in Gloucestershire described the Star as a "typical Whitbread two-bar village local".

The interior has been extensively modernised over the years, with a conservatory extension providing additional dining space. In 2019, work was underway to create two letting bedrooms in the adjoining Star Cottage. When the pub was placed on the market in 2019, having failed to attract a buyer, local residents launched the Save Our Star (SOS) campaign, supported by the Parish Council, to explore a community purchase and safeguard the pub's future.

The pub continued trading under landlord Ken Dickens, who had been at the Star for almost 15 years before retiring in April 2024. New landlords were found and the Star continues to serve as Whiteshill's village pub and an important local community meeting place.
