How to make the most of your hotel stay
Some say a hotel is 'just for sleeping'. Well if that's the case, we say that makes it one of the most important parts of any getaway. Because the difference between a restful slumber and a bad night can make a world of difference to your stay, whether you're travelling for business or pleasure.
Treat it like your own space
Living out of a suitcase always feels chaotic, especially when you spend your time tripping over the thing. Even if it's just for a night, unpack your things and store them away in the spacious wardrobes, ready for you to relax.
Explore the local attractions
You might have a full schedule planned, but taking time to explore on foot often leads to the discovery of some truly hidden gems, be it a historic landmark, local hotspot, or quiet patch to take a pause.
Ask for recommendations
The internet can be an amazing resource for recommendations, but you can't beat living like a local. Our staff are passionate not only about the hotel, but also the area that surrounds it, so if you're looking for something specific, lean on us for some firm favourites.
Make time to savour the flavour
Meals are so often rushed in our everyday lives. Quick breakfasts before we race out the door, hurried lunches eaten at our desks or speedy dinners on the sofa. So when we're lucky enough to escape for a rural retreat, try and enjoy a pause with your plate. Take a moment to enjoy every bite or toast to the company you're sharing it with.
Don't be afraid to lean on our staff
Our friendly team of staff are here to help, so never hesitate to reach out with a question or concern. We strive to make your stay as stress-free as possible, so whatever the issue, let us get it resolved.
Reasons to stay at a Chef & Brewer pub hotel
Prime locations
With an impressive collection of hotels nestled within some of the most picturesque corners of the Great British countryside, the beauty of nature is never far away. We've got charming hotels dotted across scenic coastlines, hidden within quaint country villages and nestled on the edges of green expanses. Some of our luxury hotel options even offer picturesque views from the bedroom windows, so you can soak up the scenery in the comfort of your slippers.
Unique hotels with a rich past
Our diverse collection of hotels includes historic inns dating back centuries. These pubs may have been first built with another purpose, such as a country house, coaching inn or even a train station, but they've been restored to offer comfortable stays infused with the charm of Chef & Brewer. While the amenities may be modern, you can still spot glimpses of their rich past with antique interiors and original features.
Leafy locations close to city hotspots
One of the best things about the great British countryside is that no matter how rural the surrounding area, you're never that far from a bit of buzz. Be it a car ride or a train journey, some of our leafiest spots are less than an hour from a major city. You can explore the sights and delights before escaping back to the calm and quiet.
Tailored to any getaway
Whatever your reason for a retreat, a Chef & Brewer hotel can help you unwind. Whether it’s a romantic break with someone special, a family getaway with the kids in tow, or a peaceful solo escape to truly switch off, we have rooms to accommodate every stay.
Food menus for every mealtime
At our Chef & Brewer pubs with accommodation, our pub restaurant menus guarantee delicious dining throughout the day. Drop in for lunch and take a well-earned pause with a mouthwatering main, or settle in for dinner and unwind over something truly tasty. After a great night's sleep, you can also wake up to the promise of a hearty breakfast at the table. From sweet treats to savoury classics, fuel up for the day ahead. We can keep the drinks flowing too, whether you’re craving a rich coffee, freshly brewed tea, perfectly poured pint, smooth ale, crisp wine, fruity cocktail, or refreshing non-alcoholic beer. With plenty to choose from on our drinks menu, stop by and let us pour you the perfect drink.
