There’s little we appreciate in life more than one of the UK’s best restaurants. However, if there’s one thing that tops them, it’s a restaurant with rooms. UK-wide these magical destinations exist, offering the ideal scenario: a meal that leaves you so satiated that making your way home seems impossible in your satisfied blur. Not to mention a bedroom just upstairs or across the road to roll directly into. We’re not sure there’s a greater pleasure in this world, the combination is so entirely perfect.
Some of the best restaurants with accommodation in the UK were top-class kitchen first and foremost, adding sleeping chambers later when the team realised people were travelling far and wide to eat at them. Eliminating the need for return journeys on the same night, these cosy British bolt holes allow you to fully unwind in the hospitality offered, making good use of the drinks menu while you’re at it (if that’s your thing).
Such spots are usually well-placed for a bit of sightseeing too, just to top it all off. By their very nature they are more often than not in scenic surrounds. The harder to reach corners of countries in the UK mean an overnight stay is the only way some people will logistically be able to enjoy a meal. Aside from plain old practicality, there’s also nothing sweeter than finishing up one meal and knowing the next is just around the corner (sans washing up). These glorious guest houses all offer breakfast the following morning, to see you on your way in style.
With everything from grand old manors through to snug farm stays, these restaurants with rooms - in England, Scotland and Wales - all have something in common: incredible food and fabulous bedrooms.
