Golden Heart at Nettleton Bottom. It's a few miles out of the city but does
very good food and beer. Some friends stayed there recently and do so every
year for a reunion. My aunt and uncle stayed at the local Premier Inn a
couple of years ago (the one in Barnwood) and it wasn't too bad. We had a
Christmas meal at the attached pub (The Wheatstone) which was quite
adequate.

Rusted and ropy.
Dog-eared old copy.
Vintage and classic,
or just plain Jurassic:
all words to describe me.

No idea abouy the rooms, but the food there is excellent, and it's a
*proper* cotswold pub.
