Description
The Cotswold Gateway Hotel is a large farmhouse, likely originally a posting inn for travellers on the route between Oxford and Cheltenham. It was built after 1812. The building is constructed of roughly-laid stone rubble with a slate roof. It is three storeys high and five bays wide, featuring chamfered quoins, coped roof verges, and raised flat surrounds to the multi-paned sash windows. The central three bays of the ground floor have been altered with a 20th-century square bay with six windows and a door. Chimneys are present at each end, with the right-hand one featuring an ashlar base.
A parallel range extends to the north and is linked to the main building at the eastern end by a three-storey section with crenellations. This section has a 20th-century doorway and a single run of sash windows with glazing bars, set within chamfered surrounds with drips. The flanking gable ends of the northern range have tripartite windows on the ground floor and small windows in the garret. Irregular two-storey extensions have been added to the left of the main building; one has a ball finial, and both feature stone slates.
The interior has been extensively altered and transformed, with a Tudor-style road-house theme and heavily moulded cross-beams.
