The Malt House

Set in the market town of Berkeley at the head of the Berkeley Vale in Gloucestershire's Cotswolds. A small family-run hotel and pub accommodation just minutes from Jenner Museum and Dr Jenner's House, and under a mile from Berkeley Castle. Easy drive from M5 exits 13 and 14, with free on-site parking.

Only nine individually decorated en-suite bedrooms, all in a traditional, cosy pub-hotel style. Rooms include TV, tea/coffee makers, desks and private bathrooms with shower/tub and complimentary toiletries. Interiors echo oak beams, dark wood and mellow wall coverings for an intimate, home-from-home vibe.

Take in garden views and unwind in a laid-back game atmosphere—there's an arcade/game room, full-size skittle alley, darts and pool. Complimentary full breakfast is included; room service runs during limited hours. Free self-parking onsite and laundry services available.

Complimentary wireless internet in rooms and communal areas, plus luggage storage, laundry and a concierge. Front desk not open 24 hours, so note limited reception times.

A two-level restaurant seats nearly sixty and serves an extensive menu with vegetarian options, Chef's specialities and a Specialty Sausage Board. The traditional pub pours a good range of beers, wines and spirits and hosts pub games for a casual night out. Book ahead for weekends; note the pub closes Sundays from mid-afternoon, though residents can arrange food and drink on request.
