Charming Cotswold pub with rooms for sale

The Royal Oak is a quintessential Cotswolds pub, offering charming, stylish bar and restaurant areas with period features such as exposed beams and traditional fireplaces. The inn is constructed from traditional yellow limestone, and was lovingly restored in 2013.

The pub’s layout supports both informal drinking and destination dining, and it attracts a loyal local customer base as well as strong visitor footfall throughout the year.

The Royal Oak also offers six exceptionally well‑presented en suite letting bedrooms, providing an additional income stream driven by Tetbury’s popularity as a Cotswolds destination.

Outside, the property features a cobbled courtyard and a spacious beer garden, which also includes an airstream food trailer and an outside bar, enabling flexible outdoor catering, seasonal trading, private events and pop‑up concepts. Private accommodation is also included, making the site suitable for owner‑operators or management teams.

The Royal Oak has featured in a number of tourist guides for the Cotswolds, including listings as one of the best places to eat and stay, reinforcing its strong reputation and visitor appeal. The pub has received multiple awards and recognition, including the Good Pub Guide, Good Hotel Guide, Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards, and Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards. It also has royal connections, with His Majesty The King having previously enjoyed a drink at the pub owing to its proximity to Highgrove and its longstanding role within the Tetbury community.

The owners of The Royal Oak commented, “We are incredibly proud of what The Royal Oak has come to represent within Tetbury, a warm, characterful pub with rooms at the heart of the community. The pub has huge potential, and we’re excited to see how the next chapter unfolds for both the business and the town.”

The sale is being managed by Graeme Clifford, Business Agent at Christie & Co, who commented, “The Royal Oak represents a very rare opportunity to acquire a high‑quality, well‑established Cotswolds pub with real depth and potential. From its excellent letting bedrooms to its recognition in ‘Best of the Cotswolds’ guides, this is a business that truly stands out, and we anticipate strong interest from both experienced operators and lifestyle buyers looking for a unique hospitality venue in one of the region’s most desirable market towns.”

The Royal Oak is on the market with a freehold asking price of £925,000. For more information, visit the property page: https://www.christie.com/3451574/
