Traditional Cotswold stone village pub overlooking the Newmarket valley towards the hamlet of Shortwood. This seemingly remote and peaceful rural location was at one time home to three mills and a bacon-curing factory.
The pub lies to the west of Nailsworth and is a gentle 15-minute uphill walk from the town centre. Originally three cottages, it became a pub in 1820 and was renamed in 1910 to honour the incoming George V. The centrally located front door opens onto a single large room that reads as three distinct spaces – a stone-flagged floor in the middle with laminated floors at either end. The walls are of stripped stone, now mostly whitewashed.
The pub is south-facing, so the popular outdoor seating areas to the front and side are both suntraps. Footpaths radiate in all directions, including one up the hill behind the pub to the Forest Green Rovers' ground (a 20-minute walk). There is limited car parking in front of the pub and across the road.
