Overview
The Seagrave Arms is a country inn, restaurant and bed-and-breakfast located in Weston Subedge, in the Cotswolds district of Gloucestershire, England. It occupies a Grade II listed building clad in traditional honey-coloured Cotswolds stone, described by the business as roughly 400 years old and dating to the 17th century. The property sits in the North Cotswolds, between the villages of Chipping Campden and Broadway, and within about half an hour's drive of Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon. The inn operates as a modern British hospitality venue — a place to eat, drink and stay. It has seven individually decorated en-suite bedrooms, including a romantic four-poster suite and traditional country-style rooms. Its restaurant serves food made from locally sourced produce, and its bar stocks award-winning real local ales and gin from the nearby Cotswolds Distillery. Dogs are welcome in the inn. The building was renovated in 2021, the same year the business was purchased by its current owner, Alex, a farmer's daughter from Cambridgeshire who had previously worked at the London 2012 Olympics for Sodexo and as a duty manager at The Lygon Arms in Broadway. The Seagrave Arms has received recognition from the AA, including an AA 4-Star rating, an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence and a 2026 AA Breakfast Award. The kitchen is led by Head Chef Darral and Sous Chef Joshua. As a privately owned, single-site hospitality business, it is a small independent brand rather than a chain, and it markets itself as a cosy Cotswolds retreat and a base for exploring the region.
History
The Seagrave Arms occupies a Grade II listed building in Weston Subedge, Gloucestershire, described by the business as a 400-year-old house clad in classic honey-hued Cotswolds stone. For four centuries the property has served as a country inn lending its charm to the Cotswolds countryside. It is a 17th-century coaching inn, reflecting the historic role such roadside establishments played in the region. In August 2021 the inn was purchased by its current owner, Alex, a farmer's daughter from Cambridgeshire. Alex had previously worked at the London 2012 Olympics for Sodexo, and during her university placement had been a duty manager at The Lygon Arms in Broadway. She also helped set up The Old Hall Ely, a wedding venue, with her family in Cambridgeshire before returning to the Cotswolds. The building was renovated in 2021, and the inn now features seven en-suite bedrooms, each individually decorated with its own country character, including a romantic four-poster suite and traditional country-style rooms. Under this ownership the Seagrave Arms has continued as a modern British inn — a place to eat, drink and stay — sourcing food from local farms and suppliers and stocking its bar with award-winning real local ales and gin from Cotswolds Distillery, located about 20 minutes away. The inn has earned recognition from the AA, including an AA 4-Star rating, an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence and a 2026 AA Breakfast Award. Its kitchen is led by Head Chef Darral and Sous Chef Joshua. The property remains a single-site, privately owned hospitality business in the heart of the North Cotswolds, between Chipping Campden and Broadway.
