Description

The Plough at Kelmscott is the type of Cotswold pub that people dream of finding, and offers just about everything that you are likely to need. It was built in 1631 and It is tucked away in the small picturesque village of Kelmscott, near Lechlade.

Kelmscott sits on the edge of the Cotswolds, on the border of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. Kelmscott has a truly magical and enchanting feel about it, and the special feeling of the area seems to run through the foundations of this wonderful pub. The Plough has a warm atmosphere, welcoming all types of visitors including children and pets. With crackling log fires and exposed brick, there is a traditional charm that runs throughout the interior. While the pub has a classic rustic look, the whole inn has been renovated and the facilities are excellent. There is a real 'home, away from home' feeling about the place.

The Plough is not just a great pub, the Plough's restaurant has developed an excellent reputation in the local community for its exceptional selection of delicious food. With a full a la carte menu, a fish menu and a varied bar menu, there really is something for everyone. The Plough at Kelmscott also offers eight high-quality guest rooms. Each room is individually styled, comfortable and thoroughly charming, representing outstanding value for money.

The Plough has proved itself to be a popular venue for a broad variety of events. The management team works passionately with event organisers to deliver successful and unique experiences.

The Plough is a mere stone's throw from the beautiful upper reaches of the river Thames. Following the bends around water meadows, enjoy the scattering of dream-like cottages. The Plough at Kelmscott makes a great base from which to explore the surrounding counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. The Inn is also a short walk from Kelmscott Manor, once home to the artist and founder of the arts and craft movement, William Morris. The Manor is a particularly fine example of a Cotswold-style dwelling of the 16th and 17th Century. It contains Morris's possessions and a selection of his works, as well as those of his associates, including original furniture, carpets, textiles and ceramics.

The Plough of Kelmscott is ideal for spending some quality time with a partner/group of friends, or a perfect stress-relieving weekend break.
