Look forward to seeing you all

Depends what you're looking for, how much you want to spend, bringing the partner/kids, Gaming and going or making a weekend of it?

There is a Premier Inn in Stroud which is about 4 miles away, it's... a Premier Inn... (15 min drive)
There is also a Travelodge in Stonehouse which is the far side of Stroud - it's a Travelodge.... (20/25min drive)

The Crown Inn at Frampton Mansell is a wonderful pub (stunning view from the beer garden) does good pub food and also has an annex building about 12 rooms.

Approx. 7 minute drive
The Crown Inn ~ Frampton Mansell, The perfect traditional Cotswold Hotel & Pub venue (thecrowninn-cotswolds.co.uk)

The Bell at Sapperton - 10 mins drive away now also does a few rooms, but going to be pricier than the Crown, more boutique style - also great food (again much pricier than the Crown)

The Rooms — Bell at Sapperton (bellsapperton.co.uk)

The Ragged Cot - 5 mins drive, recently changed hands but used to be a good pub last time I went in
https://theraggedcot-minchinhampton.com/

The Amberly Inn and The Bear at Rodborough - both 10 mins drive up on the common

Our Rooms - Welcome to The Amberley Inn
The Bear of Rodborough Hotel, Stroud (cotswold-inns-hotels.co.uk)
I've not been to either recently for a beer though - the view from the Amberly inn is pretty special though (and the Black horse in the same village is good for food)

There are some really upmarket places - Burleigh Court Hotel, but I think that's straying into high end 5 star territory and I've never been

I've never actually stayed in the places mentioned as I live here :D But The Crown and The Bell are regular haunts of mine for food and drink

Stroud has a really nice market on Saturday morning, and there is the 5 Valleys centre with loads of food places

Stroud Brewery, Felt Cafe and Lavender Bakehouse are all good options for food during the day, but beware they'll be busy on Saturday

/end Stroud Valleys tour guide post :D
