About The Castle Inn

Where past meets present

Bursting with local charm and character, The Castle Inn sits in the heart of Castle Combe – a quintessential Cotswolds village regularly named as the prettiest in the UK. If the village and indeed our pub look familiar, it may be because they are often chosen as the backdrop for period films and TV series.   
  
After all, who could resist the honey-coloured stone, dappled ivy, and gentle river meandering through this picture-perfect village? 

Our story

Our story

The quintessential British pub

The Castle Inn stands proudly in the old market square, the kind of old English pub that’s romanticised in film and TV – but real and authentic. 

We’re a space for guests to slow down and take their foot off the pedal; a place to enjoy a pint of something local with seasonal dinner, cooked with love.  

Our story began centuries ago, but we’re barely getting started.

Castle Combe and beyond

A jewel in the Cotswolds

Picture a classic 12th century English village, with houses made from thick honey-coloured stone and dappled with ivy, its narrow streets untouched by streetlights and TV aerials.

In the heart of this charming, peaceful village is The Castle Inn - lovingly restored to give guests the trappings of the past with the comfort and quality of the present.

The Castle Inn is an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty renowned for rolling hills, historical towns and walking trails.
