Royal Gloucestershire Hussars

The Royal Gloucestershire Hussars is a former coaching inn that has been converted into a hotel. It dates from the 18th century, with much of it rebuilt around 1820. The building is constructed of random rubble limestone, mostly smooth rendered, with brick chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. It is three stories high and features two projecting front wings.

The east front has a three-window arrangement in the central section, with large 16-pane sash windows on the ground and middle floors, and 8-pane sash windows on the upper floor. There is a central glazed lobby entrance beneath a continuous lean-to canopy supported by iron columns. Each wing has a large canted bay window on the ground floor with 16-pane sashes; the left wing has a two-story bay with a 16-pane sash on the upper floor, while the right wing is three stories high, matching the fenestration of the main front.

On the south side, the building displays exposed rubble masonry with scattered 12-pane sash windows and an eaves-mounted brick chimney. The north side features two projecting chimney stacks, both with brick shafts. At the rear, there are single-storey outbuildings that include former stables and a coach house. Inside, there is a stone vaulted cellar in the rear wing along with some other 18th and 19th-century features. The building is situated on the Gloucester-Bath turnpike, which has since been replaced by a more accessible route through the Nailsworth valley.
