The main access, including for vehicles, is from The Hill, just around the corner. This view shows the frontage to Cheltenham Road, which is part of the A40.

When this photograph was taken the business belonged to Wadworth of Devizes, who acquired it when they took over a local Burford brewery many decades ago. However in November 2020 this was one of 21 Wadworth pubs which they contracted to sell to the Liberation Group, owners of Butcombe Brewery. The latter are now running the pub. It has now been renamed The Prince of Burford.
