About
The Bathurst Arms is a pub with rooms at North Cerney, on the corner of Dark Lane about five miles north of Cirencester. The River Churn runs past, a stream runs across the front lawn, and there is a beer garden in the sun.
There are five guest bedrooms, with super king, double and twin beds, all en suite with tea and coffee and garden views, and dogs can stay in some of them if you ask when you book. Rooms are booked through the pub's own eviivo page. The pub’s booking page gives check-in from 3pm to 8.30pm and check-out by 11am, and lists free parking on site. Its rooms are on the first floor, and it says step-free access is limited.
The kitchen does pub food at lunch and supper on weekdays and straight through on Saturdays: sandwiches at lunchtime, then dishes such as fish pie, a mushroom bourguignon pie and steaks. On Sundays it serves roasts until 5pm, with a vegan mushroom pie and smaller roasts for children. There is a house cask ale on the bar, a children's menu, and vegetarian and vegan dishes marked on the menus.
It suits a night or two in the Churn valley for people who want a quiet village base within a short drive of Cirencester, and a lunch or Sunday stop for anyone exploring the north side of the town.
