About
The New Inn is the pub in Coln St Aldwyns, a few miles downstream from Bibury on the River Coln. It is a 16th-century coaching inn, renovated and reopened in 2020 and run by Baz and Fred, a local food pair whose other pub is The Stump at Foss Cross.
The pub opens every day from noon to 11pm, and the kitchen serves lunch and supper daily, with longer lunches at weekends and a Sunday lunch menu. The menus change with the seasons and are posted on the website as pictures.
The rooms range from a small double with a shower to suites, and the Garden Suite has its own entrance, a patio, a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower. All have Wi-Fi, a TV, a kettle and a desk. There are 15 en suite bedrooms in five types: Garden Suite, Suite, Superior Double, Standard Double and Small Double. Rooms are booked through its eviivo page, and room enquiries go to their own line, 01285 708080, separate from the pub's number. Its booking page gives check-in from 3pm to 10pm and check-out by 11am, and says no pets are allowed in the rooms; Trip.com lists free parking on site, and the booking page lists on-site parking.
It suits a quiet night in the Coln valley, and walkers: the Coln St Aldwyns and Bibury walk starts in the village.
