The beauty of a staycation
The Great British countryside is calling. Our coastal paths are longing to welcome you and our woodlands are just waiting to be explored.
Forget travelling abroad this year, a staycation in the UK means you can enjoy the best of Britain at your own pace. There are untouched beaches to discover, quaint cafés to while away the hours and cultural attractions at every corner.
Whether you’re looking for romantic places to stay near you, a family holiday with the kids in tow, or just a weekend away to recharge in the countryside, a staycation is the perfect choice.
Immerse yourself in the British countryside
Rolling hills, babbling brooks, scenic vistas and awe-inspiring woodland walks. There’s just something special about a weekend away in the countryside. A chance to step away from day-to-day life. To breathe in the fresh country air and connect with nature once again.
Our Chef & Brewer country pubs are dotted across scenic spots throughout the British countryside. You’ll find canal-side walks, wildflower meadows and peace and quiet across acres of open space.
Fall in love with the countryside with an escape to one of our country inns, whether for a long weekend, a midweek break or a longer stay. Four-legged family members are welcome in many of our hotels, so you’re in luck when it comes to dog-friendly places to stay near you.
Feel the pull of the coast
From the bracing sea air and cliff top views to the spectacular sunsets and peaceful sunrises, a coastal retreat is your opportunity to get away from it all. To appreciate the power of nature and sample the salty sea air. There’s nothing like a stay by the coast to re-energise and recharge your body and mind.
At Chef & Brewer, we have a selection of pubs with hotels in lovely locations along the UK coast. Enjoy sea views from your room and hearty pub food with local and seasonal ingredients that sing on your plate.
Or the lure of a new city
The UK is brimming with incredible cities offering delightful experiences, whether you’re keen to explore museums, wander around botanical gardens or do a little shopping.
We have plenty of Chef & Brewer pubs with rooms on the outskirts of many of the major cities. A stay in one offers you the best of both worlds, with days spent traversing the city before retreating to your country to enjoy open space, wonderful walks and a traditional British pub welcome.
Pubs, pints and peace
Step into one of our country pubs with rooms for a peaceful setting and a proper pub welcome.
Our open fires are ready to warm you in winter. Enjoy the sun from one of our tranquil and leafy beer gardens. Settle in to sample our food menu, packed with traditional flavours, fresh ingredients and seasonal specials. There’s a cold pint waiting on the bar with your name on it too.
When it’s time to bed down for the night, take your weary legs to one of our cosy rooms. You’ll find a comfy bed and fluffy pillows to keep you snug as a bug for a great night’s sleep. Throw open your curtains in the morning and drink in the views, whether on the coast or in the country.
And when you’re ready to explore again, we’ve teamed up with AllTrails to highlight local trails and walks in the countryside we cherish around our pubs.
