The Local Area | The Old Coach House

BRIMSCOMBE AND NEARBY

The Old Coach House is in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Whatever time of year you visit there are breath-taking views and hidden valleys - great for exploring either on foot, on bikes or in the car; great for shopping and antique hunting too.

Five minutes away we have the canal towpath, Minchinhampton & Rodborough Common (1000 acres of open grassland), Selsley Common and Penn Woods, Painswick Beacon, Haresfield Beacon and Randwick Woods. All of these are owned by the National Trust and each extends to hundreds of acres.

Within half an hour drive there is May Hill, Cleeve Common, Leckhampton Hill and Charlton Kings Common.

Swimming and water sports enthusiasts will love the Cotswold Water Park!

Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust, the Forest of Dean & Wye Valley beauty spots are all nearby.

We are also very close to Badminton, Gatcombe and famous the Cheltenham Race Course.

PUBS AND PLACES TO EAT

We have several really lovely pubs a short drive away; many of which welcome our four-legged friends.

Some of our favourites include:

The Stroud Brewery; a stone's throw away from The Old Coach House. You can sit in the taproom adjacent to the brewery enjoying the ever-changing local beers, the atmosphere is fun, families are always welcome and your dogs too. You can watch as your wonderful pizza is made and cooked in the ovens in an open plan kitchen.

The Bell Inn at Sapperton, The Old Lodge, Minchinhampton, The Bear at Rodborough, The Crown at Frampton Mansell, are just some of our top choices, all have gardens to enjoy in the summer and open fires in the winter.
