A wonderful old cotswold building with an updated interior but still retaining some of the old charm. Two well-kept real ales along with an extensive array of other beers. Good quality food is served mainly in the conservatory that has wonderful views out across the stroud valley.

Stayed at the star Inn as we were working down in Gloucestershire The room was more than adequate for our needs and the host /food and atmosphere was great. Would be more than happy to stay here again

We didn't stay, but had food in the pub. Their Greek food was amazing and the beef stifado is highly recommended. It mouthwatering delicious and if you are in the area, definitely worth a detour for this amazing dish.

A lovely family run hotel a little rough around the edges but you cannot fault the comfort, service or breakfast!

Went up to the Star Inn, Whiteshill for Sunday lunch today. An amazing experience, Roast Beef and Turkey, with all the trimmings including fresh seasonal vegetables. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I would highly recommended a visit, booking recommended.

For people hiking the Cotswolds Way or just stopping by the area: stay here! Whiteshill is the "town-on-the-hill near Stroud. It is a sleepy little town with magnificent views, a beautiful church, a cute little town store that serves coffee and fresh baked goods (it is also a short 25mins hike to a Tesco Superstore!!!). Talked with a local "Whiteshillian" and he told us that the new owners of the Pub/Hotel are "very nice people". We're pretty sure that is true. The rooms have updated bathroom facilities with great water pressure and very hot water. The beds are very comfortable. Certain things are a bit dated: like coffee machine, carpets, sofa, a couple of ceiling lights out...but clean...very clean. A work in progress. Pub seems to be very popular, was full on a Monday night. So, bottom line: stay here for a unique stay/area. Also, nice to support a working couple keeping a pub/hotel alive. Whiteshill, who woulda thunk?

I spent 3 hours in this pub with two elderly friends, we stopped for lunch. Apparently it's under new ownership. They have a Greek chef so we chose to have Moussaka with a feta cheese salad and really chunky chips (£15 per head). One of my friends had exactly the same only as a small plate. Beautifully cooked and presented which we really enjoyed. We were so full we didn't need any desert. As the weather horrendous we sat with a pot of tea and a cafeteria for quite a long while waiting for the weather to ease. Although a very old pub, very smart and modern ladies toilets and easy access for anyone with walking difficulties so long as you enter by the side door. One friend who knew the area said they had vastly improved the view from the rear of the Inn looking over the valley. It was a very pleasant place to eat, no overpowering music and the seating is either in the conservatory which was light and bright or in the more traditional side which was darker and cosy. They're open for B&B and are starting Sunday lunches from the end of September. I would certainly eat here again.

Awesome place. Amazing views from the beer garden. We stayed in a suite, which was amazing, loads of room and a really comfortable bed. Reasonably priced pub serving great food with friendly staff. We had the greek kebab, delicious, as was the breakfast. Dog friendly. We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful time at the Star Inn. The food was wonderful and the owners went above and beyond. The location is good for a walk in the Cotswolds. It was fun staying upstairs in a pub.

Just the worst landlord you'll ever meet and so over priced, Stroud has so many more wonderful places to drink so please go elsewhere.

Could be a beautiful pub, but unfortunately the owner is rude and uninviting. No food is served here, despite the sign saying "pizza & pint for £10" Drinks are overpriced too. Plenty of other businesses I'd rather give my custom to

Quick service but the pizzas are terrible. Pretty sure they're frozen. Pick up a piece and all the cheese just falls off. Won't be ordering again. Disgusting.

Really good vegetarian and vegan options, unusual for a small town! Delicious food and generous portions. Excellent value for money. Cash only, but there's a fee charging ATM in the back of Kingshill News & Booze a few doors down, alternatively free cashpoints at Sainsburys (GL11 4BS) or One-Stop (GL11 6LQ)
