Pros

The hilltop location provides exceptional views across five counties.

The seasonal menu includes traditional British dishes and a selection of real ales and wines.

Dog-friendly accommodations are available with prior booking.

Proximity to Cheltenham and outdoor activities like hiking and golf.

The hotel has multiple staircases, which may be challenging for guests with mobility issues.

“What stands out is the roadside location above Cheltenham, with its panorama. Expect good value here, especially for food and drink, alongside friendly service. I think it's a practical choice with free parking and satisfying pub fare.”
