The Corner Cupboard Inn
83 Gloucester StWhite Hart Inn
High StreetDrinks & Nightlife
A traditional pub which was originally a farmhouse in the 16th century. There are some quirky things - look for the bust of Disraeli above the front porch, the flagstone commemorating a local having slipped there in the 1960s and listen out for the ghost if it's quiet upstairs!!!! Jason runs a friendly local pub with a large dining area serving wholesome, large portions. There is a large, flagged garden with pretty flowers to enjoy during the summer - also a car park out back. For me it has the best traditional Sunday lunch in town.

Sightseeing
A lovely walk right from the house, along Gloucester Street, down Vineyard Street (one of the prettiest) streets leads you to Sudeley Castle. Great for a day out (buy your entrance tickets online for a small discount) or for a gentle stroll. There is a small cafe for a coffee if you are just there for the walk not the full visit.
