Vacation Rental Description
The Inn at Fossebridge - Cotswold Hotel
The Inn at Fossebridge is immersed in 300 years of history… as a coaching inn on the Fosseway and as a hostelry named after wealthy landowner Lord Chedworth.
Indeed the Inn had opened by 1759 and was then known at Lord Chedworth’s Arms, a name recalled in the wonderful old bar that still exists today; the name was changed to The Fossebridge Inn in the early 19th century.
It is today a beautiful quintessential Cotswold retreat, with wonderful accommodation, grounds and fine food. The Inn is within an hour from Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheltenham and Cirencester, the delightful capital of the Cotswolds, Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold. You will find many pretty hamlets and villages nearby which seem to look today as they did a few centuries ago.
The Inn at Fossebridge is situated in a dip on the A429 at Fossebridge between the Gloucestershire towns of Cirencester and Northleach.

The Inn at Fossebridge Is To Be The Starting Point of A Major Fundraising RAFA Classic Cars Rally
300 classic and vintage cars will set out from Gloucestershire for the first ever Fosseway Rally in aid of the RAF Association.
The event will take place on Sunday 8 August 2010 and money raised will go towards the RAF Association’s Miles More Minutes campaign, which aims to provide more free telephone talk time for troops stationed abroad, enabling them to stay more in touch with their families, while they are away.
This year is a particularly significant one for the RAF Association, as it commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
As part of the event, another 300 cars will leave Waddington, Lincolnshire at the same time - enabling one of the biggest ever rallies of its type to arrive at the famed Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon, Warwickshire.
