There has been an Inn at Fossebridge, in a dip on the Fosse Way between Cirencester and Northleach, for more than 300 years but never has it been so comfortable and welcoming as Robert and Liz Jenkins have now made it. Bedrooms have been upgraded and each is named after a nearby Cotswold village - Burford, Tetbury, Moreton-in-Marsh etc. Dining is in the friendly bar where daughter Liz, a graduate of the Pru Leith School of Cookery, helps the leading French chef to produce mouthwatering dishes. There is a private dining/meeting room which can accommodate up to 20 and in the grounds a charming cottage, refurbished to a similar high standard, which can accommodate 10 on a self catering basis.
The Inn's Georgian windows overlook four acres of garden and lake, which are the haunt of kingfishers, herons and all manner of wildlife. The Inn is becoming a popular wedding venue - inside for a smaller function or in a marquee in the garden for a larger one.
The Inn is well placed for visiting Cirencester, Stow and the many attractions of the Cotswolds.
