Key Features
Location
The Clothiers Arms is a very well established and profitable Inn that resides on the edge of Stroud town centre. The business has been operated by the same owners since 2001 which is a testament to its success. These Cotswolds stone premise other two well planned and easy to operate trading areas with seven en suite letting bedrooms. The ‘jewel in the crown’ is the outstanding trade garden which can seat in excess of 200 customers comfortably, and is extremely well used during the warmer sunny summer months.
The market town of Stroud sits at the centre of rural Gloucestershire just below the western escarpment of the Cotswold Hills, the meeting point of the five valleys. The town is noted for its steep streets and independent spirited café culture surrounded by the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has become particularly popular with those moving to Gloucestershire due its excellent links to the nearby towns and cities of Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bristol.
