The odd name and the 1712 and 1938 on the exterior relate to the date of the two small cottages on the left which became the original inn and the date of a major extension on the right. The Morris family who extended the pub also created Bourton's main tourist attraction - the model village - in the hotel grounds at the rear in 1937 and it is still owned by the hotel. It is included in this guide having been refitted in 1958 (the date of the paintings over the bar). You walk into a wonderful hall with an uneven flagstone floor, inglenook stone fireplace with a date a date of 1938 and dado panelled walls of the same date with bench seating attached and murals above (the panelling on the left could be older).

On the left the door into the snug has a sign 'Smoke Room for Ladies and Gentlemen' on it, parquet floor, solid bar counter probably from 1938 but both it and the 1930s panelling have leather padding almost certainly added in the 1950s. A part glazed stone 1930s fireplace is covered by seating which along with the tables look as if they have been here since the 1950s. The bar back with its red Formica shelving is from the 1958 refit with some modern additions. The 1930 panelled passage runs from the front door to the rear - note the telephone booth on the left still with a working call box, increasingly rare in these days of mobile phones.

The rear lounge has a modern stone fireplace and the bar fittings are a mixture of 1950s/60s and later. Through the folding partition wall is a further room with a bar counter and bar back from the late 1950s. The Cotswold Bar which can be accessed from the front left door and the rear rooms also has a 1950s bar counter with a red Formica top, 1950s bar back with red Formica shelves and a 1930s stone fireplace. In the extension on the right a passage leads to the residents lounge and the dining room both of which have 1930s stone fireplaces and the gents between them has 1930 dado tiling. Closed Sun evening in winter.
