The Cotswolds is a treasure-trove of attractive villages and towns, charming streets with an abundance of small independent shops – alluring for window shopping and enticing to enter, inviting small cafés and an intriguing history to explore. You will find the rustic charm of this picturesque retreat difficult to resist – you may be tempted to return again and again!

This ancient inn, originally built in 1420 as a weaver's cottages, is in complete harmony with its delightful situation in the Cotswolds. The phrase ‘charming old inn’ is used much too freely, but the Lamb has a genuine right to it.

Lined with trees and cool green lawns, behind which are set picturesque Cotswold limestone homes reflecting the historic affluence of the town, Sheep Street is the setting for the Lamb Inn. From its wisteria-clad walls, stone-flagged bar, charming dining room to beautifully refurbished bedrooms, the Lamb has been delightfully restored to create the comfort of today, whilst retaining the atmosphere of yesteryear.
