Star Inn & Hotel in Stroud

A new owner is at work here! Everything is being renovated bit by bit and made beautiful. When we spent a night here, the Star Inn still looked very run-down from the outside. But when we opened the door, we noticed that everything was very clean and that a lot of it had already been renovated. We received a very friendly welcome. Our room—no, it was a suite!—was very nice. Bright and welcoming, the bathroom was large with a good shower. The evening meal was excellent. The cuisine is Greek/Mediterranean. In the morning, a very good Full English was prepared just for us. There was even yogurt. We would stay here again anytime!

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

Bar staff super friendly. Greek food was excellent. Wish this was my local.

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 for a day walk near by popped in the star in after, good beer, good people, lush Greek food definitely worth a try!

A great New Years evening party - Thankyou! Music was excellent- atmosphere was great and loved the food. Lovely friendly village pub!

Overall and nice place. New owners are gradually doing it up bit by bit. Great atmosphere and staff were very helpful

Lovely, friendly place, food is fab. It's nice to have a really nice welcoming pub to go to at last

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?

Really nice food good atmosphere

Great place to stay! The owners are truly wonderful and accommodating, the food was really fantastic. I hope to find a reason to go back and visit someday.

Had a very nice meal - mainly pub grub on offer. We went for the Gyros and burger and chips

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.

Great local pub with brilliant views of the countryside. Beer garden was good.

Can't comment on the rooms, as not stayed here, but everything else is great!

Good pub food .parking not good 😐

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.

At last, after 5 years of neglect, we have our village pub back!

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.

Lovely pub with new manager making it a great venue

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.

Giving Katie Hopkins a platform should be enough to put this place out of business

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

Ken the landlord is an absolute gentleman. Always happy to help and great conversation. Have been working away In the area and Ken has made it feel like a home from home. Great beds and wonderful bathrooms. Ignore the fake reviews
