⭐☆☆☆☆ | The Cotswolds Inn – Where the Bass Never Sleeps

Ah, The Cotswolds Inn – a place where the beer is cold, the music is loud, and the neighbors’ sanity is on a slow, rhythmic decline.

Let’s be clear: I love a good night out. I’m not here to ruin anyone’s fun. But living near this pub is like involuntarily subscribing to a 7-day-a-week music festival – and I didn’t even get a wristband.

The volume? Absolutely unhinged. Some nights it's a decent playlist – the kind where you think, “You know what, fair enough.” Other nights it's a genre-bending assault on the senses that makes you question the very structure of your house. I don’t need surround sound when the bassline is vibrating through my skull at 11:30pm on a Tuesday. I can feel the music in my bones.

I was in Cheltenham for 3 nights for the November Racing festival. The Cotswold was just by my guesthouse and was I glad I ventured in there. On the Thursday it was quiz night, quite busy & full of locals. Very friendly people and set me up with good vibes for the weekend. After the horse racing on Friday I was in again after dinner.

Saturday was the same but bigger as the downstairs cellar bar was open too with music down there too. Natalie the boss & her crew are spot on. Friendly & didn't miss a beat all weekend. If Carlsberg did pubs this would be it!! Oh & the Guinness was...
