Located in the heart of the well preserved and even better connected town of Tetbury, Close Hotel is the archetype ruris in urbe with the best of both. An attractive garden offers opportunity for a sharpener in the cool of a summer's evening or a post-prandial stroll before the nightcap. The food is real quality and extraordinarily good value and seafood is a strength. The menu is not large but really does not have to be. A starter of cauliflower and truffle cappuccino sets the tone before going on to grilled Brixham brill with a haricot bean and shellfish casserole and chorizo mash. Those with any inkling of real enthusiasm for cheese will find plenty to enthuse about, but for others the traditional warm sticky toffee pudding with butter scotch sauce accompanied by an intense chocolate and cardamom ice cream will take some resisting. Service and accoutrements are of the same high order.
