On the right side of me, two regular customers in their 70s in the exhibition pub in York, England paste me to American politics questions. I am looking for curry at my favorite Indian restaurant.
On the left of me, a middle -aged couple recommends a pub hamburger and identified the gags of male in college in vintage golf clothes -Areas with rich and argyle prints- “Pub Golf”. I will repeat that. 18 pubs.
This simple friendship was a by -product check -in to a pub with an accommodation. Pubstei provides the convenience of on -site rooms and board hotels, with follow -ups like bars between local communities.
From inflation to remote work patterns, many pub owners say that rental rooms are more important for survival. British Beer and Pub Association estimates that there are about 45,000 pubs in the UK, where about 2,000 pubs have fallen since 2019.
I stay online platforms and pubs where I found the exhibition, and have more than 1,600 facilities throughout the UK. These can be searched at facilities, activities, and prices (100 to 300 pounds per night, $ 125 to $ 375, usually $ 125 to $ 375, including breakfast and taxes).
Sophie Braybrook, the highest executive officer of Stay in a Pub, explains a pub stay with a real British talent, more sociable and traditional than AIRBNB and is more isolated than breakfast. 。
“It's easy to step into the pub. If you keep someone's dog, you're suddenly talking,” said Break.
And many pubs in the room are usually stories in the UK, hundreds of years ago. Sometimes there is a ghost story.
Long history
The number of pubs providing accommodation is unknown, but their stay has a long history.
In 1577, according to Paul Jennings, a British historian and author of the History of the local: English pub, I ordered a survey to divide the drinking facility into three categories. Horse; izakaya dedicated to providing wine. And Alehouse.
“Alehaus was a daily drinking place, but it was a place where ordinary men and women went,” said Jennings. “Ordinary Airhouse has evolved into” public alehouse “,” public house “, and” pub “. “
According to Jennings, by 1870, the UK had over 118,000 pubs. Historically, pubs often provided accommodation to people who could not afford to buy inns. For many years, the lines that split the inn and the pub are blurred, and many pubs have become high -quality. (For example, the oak and poppies in the Northwesternhamsted area in London offer two stylish rooms that have recently been sold for 400 pounds per night.)
Information sources of staying in the countryside
In 2013, Paul Nunny, who worked in brewing and established a high -quality certification of pubs called Cask Marque, has no easy way to find a facility with a room. I noticed that.
He set up a pub as a directory. This was expanded just before the Pandemic Flows trip and shutter pub, with a robust website and a curated pub selection in 2019.
It is not only resources that stay in pubs. The website's English country includes a good hotel guide that maintains the “Editors Selection” list of pubs reviewing the hotel, which maintains the “Editor Selection” list.
There are also pub hotel groups such as Fuller's. Fuller's has 31 pubs in England. Brewery Young operates 40 pubs with rooms in the southeastern part of London and England.
Some lists are operated based on memberships, but are duplicated to stay in pubs with many non -member pubs selected for geographical diversity and praise.
One stay on pub members, a two -hour south drive in London, a two -hour southern London, a pub's Tisehast Bell, and lives in seven bedrooms (from 118 pounds). The unusual decoration of the pub contains a bowler hat used as a lamp shade.
“We are very far,” said RAE BARNES, TiceHurst's Bell reception and a profit manager. “If you are looking for a homely and friendly one, you will stay in a pub if you are not used to this area.”
Sneaky bed, inclined floor
I was not used to most of the country, so I stayed in a pub, booked an exhibition, and booked the Swan Hotel on the River Thames on the Stains River. Take a taxi for about 15 minutes from Heathrow Airport in London and use it for Windsor Castle.
Historically, the swan was named after the promotion of swan promotion, a bird of birds that the royal family was stretched on the River Thames. Since the 12th century, monarchy has maintained all mute swan rights. The ritual rise held every year in July functions as a health test.
The three -story white -washed pub, built in the 16th century, is operated by a Fuller Hotel Group and provides a historic environment of a renovated room on the second floor. My cozy room (£ 179) has a rich bed, an espresso machine, a Bluetooth speaker, and a balcony furniture overlooking the river, and testified only on the inclined floor.
After a walk along the river late afternoon, I participated in local fans on a ground -level pub, broadcast soccer game and full -tier ragger pints (Fullers sold the brewing business to shallow. 2019. 2019. )
When a large -scale group of offices flock to the bar and make it impossible to keep talking with the owner of the dog next to me, I moved to the dining room next door and with the Taragon Risotto (£ 16.50). I had a comfortable chicken meal (£ 16.50) It was dim in the Thames River.
For my room price, I left too early for an English breakfast (a plant -based version), but I was a community magnet in one atmosphere, a high -quality restaurant, and a boutique hotel. Thank you for the one -stop appeal.
Stay in the story
In York, the story of the exhibition begins in 1702, built as a private land, with a stone throwing from the Rome wall that rings the medieval center of the Northern UK city. In the rear beer garden and the parking lot, a hut and a dormitory of the servant were once hosted.
It was a pub for many years that Sunny Davis and her husband, Danny, bought it more than 40 years ago. They added a beer garden and food, and gradually renovated two upper floors as a residence and six rooms.
“There was no window on the second floor, and the pigeons were abandoned,” said Davis.
Currently, the hall is full of souvenirs containing a flyer that lists the “Rules of the inn” in 1786. One of the rules that “Flint Rock, CUDGE, Dagger, and Sword are handed to parents to be handed to the inn.”
In my room, which was comfortable, comfortable and soundproofed from the lower pub, there was a bed loaded with pillows in my room (£ 115). In the morning, a generous free breakfast -I chose a pouched egg at the avocado toast, and was offered in a conservatory that protrudes in the beer garden.
Davis later told me that a former guest once appeared in the shower and was losing all pictures of the room walls and lying on the bed.
“He ran with a towel around his waist,” she said. “I have a warm and friendly feeling. Even ghosts are friendly.”
