Out with overpriced hotels and guest houses and in with posh pub accommodation. Today Britain’s old coaching inns are increasingly offering well-priced rooms to complement their award-winning pub grub. These cosy lodgings offer a perfect taste of ye olde English with their log fires, traditional breakfasts and friendly hospitality. Here’s our top three picks for you to try:
The Inn on the Tay, Grandtully, Perth and Kinross: with a superb restaurant and bar overlooking the River Tay, this is one posh pub you shouldn’t miss.
The Sun Inn, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria: cute and cosy beamed rooms with vistas over the Yorkshire Dales make this a favourite.
The Black Swan, Helmsley, Yorkshire: new ownership has seen this classy pub revamped into a real gem.
