The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

There’s nowhere quite as cosy or as welcoming as the British pub, and with so many places reinventing themselves as contemporary inns there’s never been a better time to stay in one. This guide features the country’s very best pubs where you can stay overnight – friendly, independently run places that serve great food and offer comfortable bedrooms to topple into at the end of the evening. Each featured place has an incisive first-hand review and all the information you need for a comfortable stay – including suggestions for the best things to see and do nearby. So whether you’re wanting to stay in a Michelin-starred gastro-joint, a traditional coaching inn or a contemporary pub with boutique rooms, put yourself in the hands of Cool Places and find your perfect UK pub with rooms.
