The Plough must be a contender for the title of the prettiest pub in Gloucestershire. Tucked away down a narrow lane opposite the village church the Plough Inn is a stone and brick building with a thatched roof. In summer the hanging baskets outside the pub create an idyllic scene. The walled garden at the back of the pub is a delight.

The interior of the Plough Inn is also impressive with a panelled wall in the bar and stone flagged floor in the adjoining room.

In July 2007 the pub suffered from flash flooding in the Great Gloucestershire Flood and had to close for a week.
