Countryside Escapes
The best places to stay in the countryside
Daydreaming of days spent in the English countryside? Well, you’re in for a treat. We’ve got a whole heap of countryside-y pubs with rooms to help you do just that.
It’s booted-walks and guided trails by day, it’s treats, tipples and all the eats, and a super-comfy can’t-tear-yourself-away-from-it bed (just upstairs) by night. And in the colder months it’s all bout those warm and welcoming cosy corners, cracking log fires, muddy boots and all.
So, whether you’re heading to the Kentish countryside for a pint and a pit-stop or you’re bedding down for a week-long breath of fresh air in the New Forest, our country pubs (with all those hotel-y extras) are perfectly placed for you to do just that.
