StayScore Analysis

Why this hotel scores 90/100

The Stump is best suited to travellers who want a relaxed, quintessential Cotswold pub stay with easy access to Cheltenham and Cirencester. It will appeal most to food-minded couples and walkers who value a lively restaurant and bar as the heart of their stay and prefer a small, characterful bolthole over a larger city hotel. The location at Foss Cross is handy for exploring rural lanes, market towns and nearby Cheltenham attractions while offering a friendly, low-key country atmosphere rather than an urban buzz.
