The Mount Inn, Broadway

Situated above and a little distant from the centre of the stunningly lovely village of Stanton, the Mount Inn is difficult to appreciate or photograph as a building because it is shielded by walls, trees and a car park. Entry is in fact through the sheltering branches of the tree which effectively hides the front door. Once inside there is a small bar counter, with another in the next room that is open at busier times than when I was here. Service was pleasant and efficient, if a little hurried, and my pint of Donnington BB was in good condition; the alternative was their Cotswold Gold. Date of visit: 14th September 2023

Possibly being a bit harsh with a 5 star rating but have a look at latest TA reviews for balance. They are insisting with covid QR code ordering and have closed the pub interior. This may be OK if the landlady had been more welcoming. She is obviously bored solid with explaining to tourist - for this is the main client base. The system is pointless when the young staff have to lean all over pensioners to do the ordering for them. This, and a mixed up food order for the Stroud Cycling Club on the next table made for an unpleasant experience. The Costwold Gold was in good condition, in comparison with the other Donnington pubs I had visited.
