The Coach and Horses is a public house near Bourton-on-the-Water in the English county of Gloucestershire.

It is situated on the A429 Stow Road (Fosse Way) near Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire.[1][2] It is set in a plot of 1.25 acres and is 3,652 sq ft in size.[1] It was built in the 18th-century and has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since 1983.[3] It is built from coursed rubble and has a roof of Cotswold stone.[3]

In 1891 it was owned by the Cheltenham Original Brewery.[4] The stables to the rear of the pub were converted into rooms to let in 2001.[4] It was for sale with Savills in 2025 for offers around £795,000.[1] In 2024 it was reported in the Oxford Mail that Jeremy Clarkson was interested in buying the pub. It is situated opposite the Hawkstone Brewery which is partially owned by Clarkson.[2] Clarkson subsequently claimed in an episode of Clarkson's Farm that Cotswold District councillors "didn't have a single positive thing to say" about his plans for the pub after he attended a pre-planning application meeting and were worried that he would be successful with the pub.[5] Cotswold District council told BBC News that it "absolutely refut[ed]" Clarkson's claims and that it had had "several positive meetings" about his proposals.[5]
