We’re
open again!

Thank you for your phenomenal support and it’s been wonderful to welcome you back since the beginning of June. Having been closed since 2020, we would like to thank the local community for your patience and understanding. Over the last year, we have been hard at work behind the scenes, scratching our heads and then working hard alongside our landlords at the Bathurst Estate to put the Tunnel House back on the map again as one of the most beautiful and idyllic country pubs in Britain. Your response has been incredible.

We are so lucky, enjoying a uniquely stunning location beside the dormant Thames and Severn Canal and its majestic tunnel portal. Fellow walkers will be delighted to learn that there is a watering hole here again, as you exit the vast Hailey Wood or embark on an amble along a choice of walks, including the stunning Thames and Severn Way, Macmillan Way, Monarch’s Way or Wysis Way.

Building work started on the restoration last October and we are 99% there, with a few finishing touches still to be made, including finishing off our 3 beautiful guest bedrooms in the Barn and quite a lot of gardening in our beautiful grounds, ready for the summer.

Hopefully you will already know of our other beautiful pub, The Bell at Sapperton just over Hailey Wood and at the other end of the famous Sapperton Canal Tunnel. Likewise, at the Tunnel House we will aim to have a fabulous country inn, a hub for the local community and employer of lots of lovely local people again in no time at all.

Please subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social for regular updates over the coming months. We can’t wait to welcome you back.

Peter, Craig and the fledgling Tunnel House team
