Although self catering properties are ideal choices for keeping costs down, we understand that it’s also nice to have the option of eating out once in a while… as well as having a pint or two!
With that in mind, we’ve handpicked a selection of some of the finest holiday cottages close to inns and public houses. Please note that most of the properties listed here are within half a mile of the pub, but if there’s award winning food or a wide range of ales on offer then we may have taken somewhat of an artistic license and extended the radius slightly.
