Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, in the historic market town of Winchcombe, you'll find the Lion Inn.

This beautiful Cotswold town is renowned for its charming streets lined with honey-coloured sandstone buildings, independent boutiques, and quirky little shops just waiting to be explored. Winchcombe is also home to a fascinating museum, where you can see a small piece of the famous Winchcombe Meteorite.

Steeped in Tudor history, the town is filled with streets and businesses whose names reflect its rich heritage. At its heart lies the magnificent Sudeley Castle, the final resting place of Queen Katherine Parr and one of the Cotswolds' most treasured historic attractions.

The Lion Inn is the ideal location for a peaceful Cotswold getaway. With so much to discover right on our doorstep, and many of the region's most popular attractions within easy reach, it's the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of the country.
