THE LOOK AND FEEL
The Kilcot Inn has all the charm of a country pub but with modern and fresh décor and simple but comfortable furniture. The atmosphere is intimate and cosy thanks to low ceilings and small public rooms and separate areas. Children have lots of space to run around outside.
THE FACILITIES
This is a well-loved local pub, so often gets busy, when service can slow down. Staff take an active role in the community and in 2021, started supporting the local Pied Piper children's charity. There's local artists' work on display and they still host the Newent Beekeepers Society and sell The Kilcot Honey.
