The Spa Inn was once an isolated ‘country’ pub in Oldends Lane half a mile to the east of Stonehouse, selling beer from Smith’s Brimscombe Brewery. In 1903 the pub called ‘last orders’ at 10 pm – there must have been a mass migration to the pubs in the town that stayed open an hour longer.

An inventory of the property owned by the Stroud Brewery Company in 1928 listed the Spa Inn with ‘orchard and 9 cottages at Oldends.’ In the 1970’s it was a nondescript Whitbread pub.



It was acquired by Wadworth of Devizes in 1991 and in 2006 had a major refurbishment. However despite the significant investment the Spa Inn has since closed.
