The UK's Best Pubs with Rooms I Cool Places

Pubs and Inns

There's nothing quite so cosy as a classic British country inn, which tends to be a warm, inviting place, preferably with a roaring log fire, local ales and great food – plus, if you're lucky, a handful of rooms upstairs you can stagger off to once you've eaten. In fact, pubs with rooms have enjoyed  quite a resurgence in Britain over recent years, with lots of local pubs refurbished as boutique hotels and contemporary inns, and others simply building on an existing reputation for good food by converting their upstairs spaces to a set of boutique rooms, making it possible to enjoy the evening  with a glass of wine or two. Plus of course there are pubs that have always offered good food and accommodation. More power to them all. Whether you're looking for somewhere to stay in the country, by the sea or in the city, there are few more enticing alternatives than a traditional British pub!

Countryside

Who doesn't like a traditional country pub? Now, the bad news is that more country pubs than ever are closing down, but the upside of that is that those that are left are raising their game, serving great food and often offering accommodation for the night that makes the most of often idyllic locations. We've selected some of our favourites around the country, either village-based or deep in the countryside, and with a selection of rooms that vary from the high-end and contemporary to the simple and traditional. Whatever you prefer, the welcome will always be warm, and they make a great alternative to often less characterful hotels.

Seaside

Britain's seaside, is unique and we love it, but we have to be honest and say that the accommodation on offer has – despite being plentiful – often been a bit average. Could do better, would be our verdict. That's changing, though. In line with the trend for pubs to serve food and offer accommodation, and the fashion for more boutique-style seaside accommodation, increasing numbers of seaside pubs are offering rooms, with result that often the best place to stay beside the seaside is, you guessed it, the pub! Here are  a few of our favourite pubs with rooms by the sea.

Town & City

Once upon a time the local coaching inn would have been the natural place to put up for the night when passing through a town or city in Britain. Then came the chains, and town centre pubs with rooms upstairs took a bit of a hammering, Not any more: pubs and inns offering accommodation are making a comeback and now often offer the most characterful, convenient and best-value accommodation in town. You could still stay in a Premier Inn on the outskirts of town, but, er, why would you?

Staying in a Pub


What do you call a pub with rooms?

An inn is basically a pub with rooms. Britain has had a good network of inns going back to Medieval times, which are designed to support the weary traveller (whether arriving by horse and carriage, bicycle, or Tesla) on their journey.

The defining inn characteristics are a welcoming atmosphere, a roaring fire, a hearty meal and some fine local ales, but these days many of the rooms are refurbished, boutique and luxurious. An inn’s reputation often spreads by word of mouth, and like the picturesque Crown Inn in Sussex, locals and those from further afield are often repeat visitors. Other favourites include the superb West Arms in Mid-Wales and the wonderful Plough in Kingham, Oxfordshire.

Why are inns cheaper or better than hotels?

Inns sometimes can be cheaper than hotels because they are likely to have fewer facilities such as dining rooms or outdoor areas that are separate from their pub area, and fewer overheads to cover just through accommodation. Inns are basically hotels, restaurants and pubs all in one! Inns may be better than hotels (you can eat and drink within a few steps from your room, meet the locals, and taste the traditional ale) but each to their own!

Are pub accommodations suitable for families?

Yes, many pubs are very family friendly, especially those with reputations for fine food. The Sunday pub lunch has become a real family favourite, and so pubs with rooms or inns often encourage families to stay. Gone are the days when pubs were no place for children- and often our picturesque pubs are in fantastic, family friendly surroundings, such as by the river or overlooking the sea. 

Can I expect any pub-related activities or entertainment during my stay?

Often pubs will have a quiz or karaoke night, which is a great way of meeting the locals, or even special curry nights or other promotions, and good locally sourced food is often a given. If you time it right you may encounter a local fair or celebration too, and some pubs are brilliantly situated for local sights and attractions. The excellent Sibton White Horse in Suffolk happens to be very handy for the annual Latitude Festival near Southwold, The Three Blackbirds in Suffolk is a possible stopover if you’re going racing at Newmarket, while the foodie Duncombe Arms is an alternative for those heading to nearby Alton Towers.
