The Fostons Ash Inn 3.9

Set on the Cheltenham Road at the end of the Slad Valley, this really is Cider with Rosie country in the heart of the Cotswold hills. Easily accessed from Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cirencester and Stroud, this Grade 2 listed, Cotswold stone inn is named after a former turnpike keeper and is a great 'drive to' destination and meeting place for friends. Lots of traditional features plus comfortable contemporary furniture make for a varied mix that updates the English country pub.

Retaining the original underground purpose built cellar, the ales are particularly fine and Fostons Ash now stocks a lager made locally in the Cotswolds. Fostons Ash is proud to be part of the Gloucestershire Ale Trail and is a must for roaming beer aficionados and, situated close to the Cotswold Way (a national trail), very popular with walkers and their dogs.

Fostons Ash is comfortable in every season, with long winter nights spent by the open log fires, alfresco dining on the terrace or gardens for summer days and a quirky new snug table for romantic couples. Open all day every day with plenty of parking, Fostons Ash is family friendly and worth going the extra mile for.
