Oldstone Closed

After 15 happy years here in Nailsworth we have decided to close the restaurant and put the property on the market. Thank you to all our past customers, a number of whom have become friends too. Thanks also to our local suppliers and the Town of Nailsworth for making us welcome. We’ll still be in the area so will no doubt see you around the town. All the best……..Hilary and Mike
