The Five Alls Filkins, Lechlade, Gloucestershire

The Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful parts of England and is a delightful area to visit at any time of the year. Its rolling hills and woodlands give shelter to chocolate – box thatched medieval stone-built villages, fine looking historical towns, outstanding churches, stately homes and stunning gardens. Many unique features originate from the use of the distinctive Cotswold honey – coloured Jurassic limestone.

I was invited to spend the weekend at the refurbished seventeenth century, village pub & restaurant, in the picture-postcard village of Filkins, Gloucestershire. A beautiful and charmingly restored 17th century, ivy-clad Cotswold stone coaching inn and boutique retreat with nine rooms, the Five Alls also retains its vital role as a cosy and  welcoming village local.

The meaning of its odd name, is clearly told in its resplendent inn-sign, hanging proudly at the front of the pub.

The King at the centre, who rules all, a Lawyer who pleads for all, a Bishop who prays for all, a Soldier who fights for all, and a Farmer who works for all.

So, what can you expect when you visit The Five Alls?

I would not hesitate to recommend the Five Alls if you are planning to visit the Cotswolds or simply passing through Lechlade or Burford. Why not stop and experience their superb food and hospitality. The overall Five Alls experience was extremely enjoyable and satisfying. All of the staff whether on reception, serving at table or at the bar presented a smart, professional, and efficient service. The pub offers excellent overnight accommodation options, superb restaurant meals and excellent table service in a glorious location.

 I would urge you to check out the Five Alls at the earliest opportunity. You will not be disappointed!
