Yes, certainly looks like it. I've passed it a thousand times. Thanks
for the tip about the food. �35/night B&B, too. Will look in on Monday.

Agreed: I ate there a couple of months ago and it was very nice. Nice beers
too. I'm told the Highwayman further out towards Cirencester is very good
for food too, although I haven't personally eaten there for years.

If you end up in Longford, the Queen's Head at the end of Longford Lane does
very good food (http://www.queensheadlongford.co.uk/). The next nearest,
the King's Head at Norton, isn't as good since the old landlord left (my
opinion).
