Sunday 2nd February 2025.
We are staying tonight in the grounds of The Beckford Inn a 18th century Cotswold coaching inn in the village of Beckford near Tewksbury.
It is owned and run by Butcombe Brewery and sells their own beer at the bar as well as serving good food in its restaurant and bar. You can if you wish stay in in one of it’s 12 en-suite bedrooms.
We woke up today to a much sunnier day, still cold enough to need a warm coat but pleasant to walk around in. As our journey today was only 22 miles we stopped off at Broadway which was en route, and spent an hour wandering around popping into Edinburgh Nylon Mill for a few items.
We had booked in at The Beckford for Sunday lunch, we have several times before enjoyed a Sunday roast at other Butcombe pubs and today we weren’t disappointed again, they do a marvellous large Yorkshire pud. We are members of their loyalty club and if you pay for a meal around your birthday they allow you £20 worth of drinks so that was very acceptable.
If you have a meal in the Inn and you inform them in advance they allow you to stay overnight in their extension car park, which we took advantage of.
