Looking for a unique staycation? This historic 18th century Coaching Inn is as charming as can be, with pretty gardens, traditional interiors and a giant pool table.
'We are so happy to be welcoming guests back to the beautiful Northumberland National Park,' says Hilda Wright, Host at The Bay Horse Inn. 'It's been a tough year but we are grateful for the additional income that we are starting to generate through the Airbnb platform and would encourage other pub owners across the UK to open up their doors to the many Brits searching for staycations on Airbnb this summer.'
We love this traditional Welsh country pub, which has three quirky rooms upstairs, sash windows, and cosy living areas. It might have uneven floor levels and wonky stairs, but this simply adds to the overall character of the building.
Francesca Board, Host at The Whistling Badger, adds: 'With the uncertainty caused by the pandemic potential guests have had a lot of questions, but we were able to communicate with guests, organise and reorganise bookings without any stress, it really has saved us!'
The Gaggle of Geese — a rural family-owned freehouse pub in Dorset — is the ultimate staycation spot. With a shepherd's hut for sleeping and five acres of gardens for unwinding, you'll find everything you need for a lazy weekend. Best of all, the pub grounds are just a short walk away.
