Cool Pubs and Inns

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. In conjunction with UK accommodation website Cool Places, 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. Compiled by Rough Guides founder Martin Dunford and the Cool Places team of regional writers, 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.
