A very traditional frontage ,this pub is close to the River Windrush but not riverside and is known for it's high quality food.The interior is a nesting of small rooms with low ceilings and much exposed stone,while at the rear a large conservatory operates as a restaurant.The extensive garden gives lots of options,with diners also reserving the more substantial metal furniture outside the conservatory.There are some letting rooms in a side building.There is a small hamlet nearby but most punters will arrive by car with food their main aim,although walkers will also find this a useful stopping place.
Three real ale on my visit, Hook Norton Hooky (decent nick,not adventurous),Butcombe Bitter and a house IPA of unknown provenance. The food was much better than the ale choice,with premium pricing justified by quality.Enough rustic charm to overcome the gastro leaning.

Situated in the sumptuous Windrush valley just outside Burford, this is a Cotswold Stone-construct as is the norm in these parts. Internal areas snake around a little bit and there's plenty of Mitford Sisters memorabilia on the walls. A small bar can frustratingly be covered by bar stool-occupying locals (with huge dogs to boot on my visit). Sharp's Cornish Coaster, Hook Norton Hooky and Vale Wychert were the options on handpump. There's a decent, ascending garden out back and a couple of pub benches out front which almost abut into the sleepy road which wends through this village. It is, however, a little on the gastro side, so a rucksack and notepad may incur a quizzical look.
