The Colesbourne is a large Cotswold stone inn on the Cheltenham to Cirencester road which was built in 1827. The building has three gables with ashlar quoins and a stone-tiled roof. An advertisement in 1927 stated that teas were a speciality.



The Colesbourne Inn has had a long association with Wadworth Brewery of Devizes. The lease was acquired by Wadworth’s in 1962. The stables have been converted to bedrooms.
