CARPENTER'S ARMS Miserden |
A traditional and atmospheric pub with two regular, but unfortunately bland, ales available. A guest ale can be present but they are certainly not as adventurous under the new ownership where a reliance on Greene King brews is a worry.
Greene King IPA / London Pride / 6X

CARPENTER'S ARMS Westrip Stroud |
Stunning views across to Selsley make this well worth a visit, but only two standard ales on offer these days.
Greene King IPA / Old Speckled Hen
@ 23rd January 2007

CHEESEROLLER Shurdington |
A pleasant enough pub that serves well as a local. Up to four pumps to choose from on occasion with a slight variation from time to time.
Cotswold Way / Doom Bar

COAL HOUSE INN Apperley |
Like many pubs along the river, when it's winter there may be only one ale on, but in summer there could be up to three. The selection can be changed around a bit, with a Wickwar, Whittington or Hook Norton offering, a travelled guest such as St Austell's Tribute or maybe something quite unusual.
Severn Vale's Best / Cat's Whiskers
@ 5th June 2007

COLESBOURNE INN Colesbourne |
Has undergone a makeover, tastefully thought out and adding a certain brightness. A Wadworth house with IPA and 6X in residence plus one other (Bishop's Tipple / Summersault) if the clip is turned your way.
Henry IPA / 6X
@ 15th January 2008

CORNER CUPBOARD INN Winchcombe |
Extended from it's original tiny layout to accommodate a restaurant, the unique cosiness is still retained. If you're not in the lounge, though, enquire what ales are on as they're not always displayed in the bar.
Doom Bar / Hooky Bitter / Otter Bitter
@ 17th January 2008

CRAVEN ARMS Brockhampton |
A traditional country pub catering for eaters and drinkers alike. Guest beers change frequently now with a representation from a Gloucestershire brewery.
Battledown's Saxon / Hooky Bitter
@ 27th August 2007
|
CROWN INN Frampton Mansell |
A peaceful country hotel in an idylic location that has seen a few management changes recently. Excellent guests were a feature in the past when the landlord new his real ale, but now the cuisine is dominant!
Butcombe Bitter / Old Speckled Hen
@ 22nd May 2007
|
CROWN OF CRUCIS Ampney Crucis |
The tranquil Ampney Brook at the back of the car park makes a pretty setting for the hotel. For an olde world building there seems to be an overdose of pine inside that detracts from a truly authentic Cotswold atmosphere. The choice of ale changes very occasionally, but sometimes too bland. Cotswold Way has saved the day on occasion or Doom Bar as below.
Archers Village / Doom Bar
@ 3rd January 2007
|
CROWN Cerney Wick |
Good setting by the Cerney Lakes with garden, bar, lounge and restaurant. Two choices of ale with a very occasional change of selection.
Cotswold Way / 6X
