Every so often, a little gem lands in my inbox.

As you can probably imagine, I get more than a few messages asking me to share this or that. But this one? This one was different.

It began with the words, β€œI draw pubs.”

My attention was all his. His being, a local artist from the Cotswolds.

We chatted for a bit and he went on to say that he’d used our Top 50 Guide as inspiration for his 2026 Cotswold Pub Calendar, each month celebrating a different pub.

As you know, I’m a sucker for anything that shines a light on our local pubs, so here we are, twelve pubs, beautifully drawn and perfectly captured by someone who clearly loves them as much as we do.

You can purchase the calendar if you follow the Etsy link in his bio πŸ”—

Go and buy it!

Just to make it clear, I’m making zero absolutely nothing from this post or from any calendars sold from this post. However, I will be tapping Simon up for a free one!

Long live the local 🍻
Twenty Questions: A new feature on The Cotswolds Gentleman

First up, Gloucester Rugby legend πŸ’

There’s a certain sort of man who seems carved from Pennant Sandstone itself; tough. reliable and, perhaps just a touch stubborn. Lewis Ludlow fits that mould perfectly.

Gloucester Rugby’s longest-serving captain of the professional era, for more than a decade, he has been the heartbeat of Kingsholm: a player built on grit, graft, and a deep pride in the cherry and white. From leading his club through highs and heartbreaks to becoming only the fifth man in history to captain England on his Test debut, Ludlow has always led with honesty, humility, and an unrelenting work rate.

🎡 Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne.
The past few weeks have been the worst imaginable as we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Jim.

Five incredibly short years of laughter and mischief and now our hearts are completely broken.

You stole our socks and hearts in equal measure, paraded trophies from the tumble dryer through the living room until one of us tried to retrieve them and took up the middle of the bed, sharing our pillows every night.

The farm was your playground, chasing anything that would run or fly and your ball and raspberry were your absolute everything.

You were cheeky, happy, kind, hilarious, bossy, loved more than you will ever know, and filled our home with more laughter than we knew possible.

It’s just so cruel you were taken from us so soon and our world feels unbearably empty without you.

Run free my little man and please know that we will love you for the rest of our lives. πŸΎπŸ’”
Our review of: The best weekend of the year, every year.

π˜½π™žπ™§π™§π™žπ™– π™π™–π™˜π™€π™¨ + π˜½π™§π™žπ™©π™₯𝙀π™₯ π™Žπ™©π™§π™žπ™£π™œπ™¨: π˜½π™žπ™œ π™π™šπ™–π™¨π™©π™žπ™«π™–π™‘ 2025

There are weekends that pass without incident, and then there are weekends that feel like they ought to be chiselled into the walls of the Cheese Hub as a reminder of why we endure the long English winter. The Big Feastival, once again, delivered the latter. Under skies that behaved themselves with uncharacteristic good manners, Alex James’ farm became a sun-dappled playground for music, food, drink, and more happy faces than one field should reasonably contain. Quite simply, it was the best weekend of the year.

Friday got off to a start that was both nostalgic and effervescent. Scouting For Girls bounded onto the stage with the sort of energy that made you forget that their heyday had supposedly passed. They had the crowd onside instantly, and by the time Rizzle Kicks took over, the field was bouncing like it was 2011 all over again. The duo reminded us what pop-rap sounds like when it’s fun, cheeky, and completely unpretentious. It was a perfect opening salvo; big smiles, bigger choruses, and the first hint that this weekend was going to be special.

Saturday leaned into pure indie nostalgia. The Pigeon Detectives transported us back to 2007, when jeans were tighter, haircuts were sharper, and indie disco ruled the night. Their set was a joyful reminder that guitars, when deployed with enough northern swagger, are still capable of lifting a crowd to euphoric heights. Tom Walker followed, and if the Pigeons were all youthful abandon, Walker brought heart and heft. His voice soaring over the farm, rich and gravelly, commanding the sort of hushed reverence that only a proper singer-songwriter can conjure.

The wonderful new opens its doors in Cheltenham tomorrow.

Born from the vision of friends with an eye for detail and an ear for music, Parler is a gentle collision of cultures and eras: vintage Parisian cafΓ© charm meets classic cocktail bar elegance, filtered through the grit and casual cool of a modern urban taproom. Yet it doesn’t cling to nostalgia.

We have written a piece about Parlerβ„’ which you can read on our site (Latest News link in bio).

A lovely private Red Arrows display for me and the sheep just now.

It’s the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford this weekend so there will be lots of activity in the skies above the Cotswolds!
If this sunshine has you dreaming of holidays, bookmark this place for your next Cotswolds staycation.

offer eight luxury log cabins in the stunning surroundings of their private 130 acre nature reserve here in the Cotswolds.

Think magical from the hot tub, leisurely rows out on the water and warm fire-pit gatherings in the evenings.

What more could you wish for?

Cheltenham is a truly magical place and has the most incredible knack of being able to tell the most beautiful stories.

Yesterday, 60,000 stood to applaud the life of jockey Michael O’Sullivan who tragically passed just weeks ago at the age of 24.

For those unfamiliar with horse racing, Michael rode two horses to victory on the opening day of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival, Marine Nationale and Jazzy Matty.

Today, those horses retuned to Cheltenham to run in the 4:00 and 4:40 respectively and they both won.

I don’t believe in any higher powers, but this really was meant to be.

God bless you, Michael πŸ’›
We are incredibly excited to bring you our Top 50 Pubs in the Cotswolds for 2025!

The pub means different things to many people. It can be a place to meet friends for a drink, somewhere to enjoy a meal, a stop off on a dog walk or, perhaps, an excuse for an overnight stay in the countryside. Whatever the reason, it’s imperative that we keep supporting them.

From proper boozers to those that offer some of the best food in the country, we are exceptionally lucky to have a wealth of truly amazing pubs here in the Cotswolds.

We absolutely love writing this guide and hearing the stories of people ticking them off.

This year, we have done things a tiny bit differently. If a pub group owns multiple pubs with a similar model, we have picked our favourite two to free up some space to shout about lots of other gems that the Cotswolds has to offer. There are 15 new entries in the guide from last year!

And finally, we make absolutely no money from creating this guide (yes, we know we’re idiots) and no pub has paid us to feature.

The link is in the bio. Please share far and wide.

Long live the local 🍻
We simply need to accept that some days are better than others.
