More pubs with rooms for Christmas

The Howard Arms, Stratford-upon-Avon

Overlooking the green in a Cotswolds village, and decked with hanging baskets, this pretty pub-with-rooms was in the doldrums before two local families took it on and spruced it up.

The Rose & Crown, Snettisham

Jeannette and Anthony Goodrich’s 14th-century pub-with-rooms, with ‘friendly staff’ and ‘fantastic food’, continues to earn high praise from readers.

The Punch Bowl Inn, Kendal

In a quietly beautiful area of the Lake District – the lovely Lyth valley – this smart village inn has a deserved reputation for good food and cosseting bedrooms.

Beech House & Olive Branch, Clipsham

Just a couple of miles from the A1, down a tree-lined road, is a great combination of gastropub and luxury B&B.

The Sun Inn, Kirkby Lonsdale

In an old market town, this dog-friendly historic inn by the river and church has quirky rooms, open fires and cheery staff.

The Acorn Inn, Evershot

A literary past accompanies this former 16th-century coaching inn, which features as the Sow and Acorn in the novel Tess of the d’Urbervilles and in two of Thomas Hardy’s short stories.

The Bay Horse, Ulverston

‘The view and the tranquillity are just wonderful.

The Blue Lion, East Witton

Offering an ‘utterly authentic’ slice of rural Wensleydale hospitality, Paul and Helen Klein have been running their ‘sophisticated’ 18th-century inn for 30 years.

Bank House, King’s Lynn

In a ‘fine waterfront setting’, this ‘distinguished’ Georgian bank-turned-town hotel is a sought-after spot for locals, who gather in its popular bar and brasserie.

The Plough, Lupton

Ideally placed for exploring the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, this laid-back roadside inn, in an 18th-century hostelry, has a modern rustic look: wide wooden tables and mismatched chairs, a wood-burning stove, sheepskin-covered bar stools under oak beams.

The Lamb Inn, Burford

The very model of an olde worlde inn, with its flagstones, beams, blazing fires and jumbled interiors, The Lamb sits on the edge of a picture-perfect Cotswolds wool town, in the aptly named Sheep Street.

The White Swan, Pickering

Overlooking the market place, this family-run, 16th-century hotel continues to offer the coaching-inn essentials of good food, wine and comfort.

Bayards Cove Inn, Dartmouth

Behind its Tudor black-and-white facade, a medieval merchant’s house close to the water’s edge, and once carved up as shops and flats, is today a welcoming bar, restaurant and hotel.

The Ship at Dunwich, Dunwich

‘Unpretentious and friendly’, this creeper-covered inn is close to the unspoiled salt marshes of Dunwich Heath and the RSPB reserves at Dingle Marshes and Minsmere.

The Lifeboat Inn, Thornham

A silent observer, this 16th-century beer house, in a ‘spectacular’ location on the north Norfolk coast, has taken in the changing landscape across salt marsh and sea for hundreds of years.

The Three Acres Inn & Restaurant, Huddersfield

In Pennine countryside, this ‘friendly’ roadside drovers’ inn has ‘detour-worthy food’; ‘tremendous views to all sides’ are nearly as impressive.

The Durham Ox, Crayke

For centuries, this ‘friendly, well-run’ village pub-with-rooms has hosted visitors following an ancient Celtic trail to York.

The Bell at Hampton Poyle, Kidlington

George Dailey’s honey-stone roadside inn, north of Oxford, is a popular village hub where locals come for the ‘excellent’ cooking – and where farther-flung guests settle in for ‘a very nice stay’.

The Westleton Crown, Westleton

Within a ten-minute drive – perhaps less as the crow flies – of the RSPB nature reserve at Minsmere, this updated 12th-century coaching inn makes a good base for birders, walkers, cyclists and seaside-seekers.

Hotels not in the Guide that you may want to consider

The City Gate

Exeter

Abutting the Roman city walls, this style-savvy red brick old coaching inn (Young’s Brewery) has a lively atmosphere. Inside, a host of interesting curios including a vintage sewing machine, a ship’s masthead, and splashes of colour lend a quirky yet unpretentious vibe. Microbrewed drinks and traditional pub classics are served all day in the buzzy restaurant. In balmy weather, diners spill on to the large beer garden. ‘Boutiquey’ bedrooms are themed (water, wool, cotton).
