The Trouble House, an iconic pub in Tetbury dating back to around 1754, is now available for purchase at £925,000. Built by local carpenter John Reeve, this historic establishment earned its name from early troubles including poor construction and frequent flooding. Today, however, it stands as a thriving venue beloved by locals and visitors alike.
Located on London Road in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Trouble House holds the distinction of being Tetbury’s top-rated restaurant on TripAdvisor, boasting more than 500 ‘Excellent’ reviews. Since July 2020, current landlords Jacqui and Alyn Squires have nurtured its reputation for excellent food, drinks, and warm, attentive service.
This sale presents a rare chance to own not only a charming pub but also an extensive plot of approximately four acres. The property includes ample parking, a detached barn perfect for private events, and a spacious walled garden that enhances business during warmer months.

Inside, the pub offers a welcoming bar and comfortable dining areas suitable for groups and private functions. Upstairs, the sizable manager’s accommodation features three double bedrooms and an additional office or smaller bedroom, providing valuable on-site living or rental possibilities.
Revenue opportunities extend beyond the traditional pub business with recently added guest accommodations including a B&B room and two glamping shepherd huts, popular for seasonal visitors. An additional outbuilding presents clear potential for development, while the expansive grounds could support expanded accommodation, event hosting, or other leisure ventures, subject to planning approval.
Situated at the end of National Cycle Route 48 and close to scenic walking paths, The Trouble House attracts steady footfall from cyclists and hikers year-round. Nearby attractions such as Highgrove, Gatcombe Park, Westonbirt Arboretum, and Castle Combe further support food, drink, and accommodation sales, enhancing the business’s appeal.
This unique blend of rich history, strong trade, and outstanding growth potential makes The Trouble House a truly exceptional opportunity in the Cotswolds hospitality market.
