The Daneway Inn

We've had the pleasure of visiting The Daneway Inn on numerous occasions, and it continues to exceed our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrive, the warmth of the welcome, the exceptional food, the impeccable level of service, the picturesque location, the friendly and accommodating staff, and the hospitable landlords consistently stand out as nothing short of superb. Nestled in an absolutely idyllic setting, The Daneway Inn offers easy parking, access to fantastic walking trails, and discreetly placed camping facilities in the lower meadow. Their well-maintained garden area features ample seating on lush, neatly trimmed grass. For dog owners like us, a barrel of refreshing water is always readily available. Stepping into the main building, you're immediately enveloped in a cosy, rustic charm that radiates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bar is well-stocked, and there are plenty of indoor seating options if that's your preference. Adding to the ambience, a charming old fireplace beckons on chilly winter evenings. Dining at The Daneway Inn has been a consistently delightful experience for us. As a vegan, I'm always pleased with the excellent vegan options, while my wife enjoys the regular menu. Our dog, who's impartial so long as he gets something tasty, is always treated to a special order that's both generous and fairly priced. The balance between quality and quantity, coupled with affordability, ensures that everyone is happy and no one leaves with an empty stomach. BTW. I HIGHLY recommend the vegan burger and my wife adores their rhubarb crumble and custard! Rita and Brian, the inn's landlords, are truly exceptional hosts. Even during busy times, they always take a moment to greet us warmly and ensure our satisfaction. Their willingness to accommodate our special requests for our dog, again at a very reasonable cost, reflects their genuine hospitality and generous support of dog lovers. The Daneway Inn consistently offers a remarkable experience that ticks all the boxes, and we can't recommend it highly enough!

If after a nice little afternoon in the middle of nowhere surrounded by the countryside with space for little ones to run around safely, sounds appealing, I also seen well behaved dogs too which is a bonus . Then I swear down this is place for you. If that's the type of place you like while enjoying a nice cold beer, then look no further ! Set right by the famous Sapperton tunnel and surrounded by lots of walking areas too, they also said they have a campsight behind the car park so why not camp there for the weekend and enjoy what the area has to exsplore also with a short drive to cirencester! We also had the pleasure of whom I presume was the landlady and landlord. They were very welcoming and kind and a pleasure to meet. Me and a friend had a nice cold drink and sat in the lovley beer garden watching the world go by. Even had some cheesy chips as felt a little peckish, which was not bad price and portion was good . Did look at the menu and looked appealing, so I will be coming back for meals soon. The pub itself is old country style looking cottage type pub absolutely beautiful outside with lots of character aswell picters to look at inside with a lovley nice open fire (of course we are in middle of heat wave so no fire) but makes me want to come back in winter just to sit indoors next to it when those colder days arrive. They had live band advertised which I just love live music unfortunately I was not able to make the date but hopefully there will be more in future as would be nice place to see some bands while enjoying a nice drink or having a meal. It's so worth the visit.

We stayed here first weekend in July 23, having chanced on the place during a google search for campsites in the area. The pub is 100% Cotswolds! Full of character, we received a sincere welcome from the owners who strive to deliver a friendly, personable service. Food was excellent, fairly priced, and from a simple menu (less is more sometimes!) with a selection of local and chain beers on tap. It's a very dog friendly place and a magnet for those out for the day walking in the local area, so maybe consider booking ahead if you want to eat. The bar staff were very young and seemingly new to the work, but they were outstandingly polite and went out of their way with service. Camping facilities are simple but clean and well looked after, with tents in a field just down from the car park. They do accept campervans (hence our stay) but be VERY aware that you'll be in the car park with no support facilities; you HAVE to be self contained. But most importantly of all...space...or the lack of it. When you book in with them, be sure to tell them your van dimensions, and BE HONEST. If you tell them you're in a VW and rock up in a Winnebago, you'll wreak havoc! (My advice here...look at the sat image on google earth; vans are placed in the bottom right corner of the car park.) We had two brilliant nights here and would definitely head back there again, but just be mindful of the set up...

Lovely old pub in a gorgeous walking location. Stopped for a brilliant Sunday lunch after a nice walk around the area. If there week food is as good as their Sunday lunch you'll be in for a treat! Accommodated us and our pram giving us a table with space, and baby changing facilities available. Loads of space outside for food/beer in the sun. Looking forward to our next visit!
