The Ragged Cot, Cirencester Road, Minchinhampton Hyde, Stroud, GL6 8PE

The Ragged Cot is a substantial detached former coaching inn, occupying a prominent roadside site of approximately 0.955 acres in the South Cotswolds.

Constructed principally of traditional Cotswold limestone beneath pitched roof coverings, this Grade II listed property dates in part from the 17th century and retains a number of character features.

The principal trading areas are arranged across a series of interconnected rooms centred around a main bar servery and includes a bar area with wood-burning fires, a reception and informal seating area, and a restaurant with glazed folding doors opening onto the rear terrace and gardens. The property's nine en suite double letting bedrooms are arranged across the ground and first floors.

Externally, the property has two customer trade gardens. The rear garden incorporates an outside bar, while the side garden is also home to The Snug, a separate function building with its own bar and decked terrace, suitable for private hire, events or additional restaurant covers.

Supporting facilities include a commercial kitchen, preparation and storage areas, a walk-in refrigeration unit, customer WCs, substantial customer parking and three-bedroom owner's accommodation.

The Ragged Cot holds a prominent roadside position between Minchinhampton and Nailsworth in the South Cotswolds, located within one of Gloucestershire's most attractive and highly regarded countryside destinations.

The property lies adjacent to Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons, an extensive area of open grassland managed by the National Trust and forming part of the Cotswold National Landscape. The Commons are renowned for their scenic walking routes and panoramic views across the Golden Valley and surrounding countryside.

The area enjoys a strong tourism economy and nearby attractions include Minchinhampton Golf Club, which is one of England's oldest golf clubs and has three courses. Nailsworth, home to a range of independent retailers, cafés and restaurants, lies approximately two miles to the west, whilst the larger town of Stroud is situated approximately four miles away.

The wider Cotswolds attracts significant visitor numbers drawn by its historic villages, walking and cycling routes, country houses, gardens and seasonal events. The area hosts a variety of food festivals, agricultural shows, arts events and markets throughout the year.

Transport connections are good with convenient access to Cirencester, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Bath, whilst Stroud railway station provides direct services to London Paddington.
