Staycation Season Starts TODAY!

With a late Spring heatwave rolling in, there’s no better time to set off for a weekend away or a mid-week breather! Swapping the sea and sand for a countryside getaway is an excellent way to trade crowded beaches and costal humidity for quiet walking trails, peaceful rural landscapes, and tranquil beer gardens.

In other words, it’s the perfect excuse to plan a change of scenery at one of our Freespirit sites! Each of our pubs with rooms has something a little special to offer – think low beams, cosy corners, countryside views & delicious food.

Rest & Roast

Escape to any one of our pubs with rooms for the perfect Sunday night treat! Enjoy a cosy overnight stay for two, tuck into a delicious Sunday Roast, and wake up to a continental breakfast.

Only £100!

Book direct only via individual pub website.

Escape to Ashby St Ledgers

Soak up every ounce of countryside delight at The Olde Coach House this summer. For all you history buffs out there, Ashby manor house is the location where Guy Fawkes and his associates planned for the Gun powder plot. The Coach House is a wonderful coaching inn with a friendly team, beautiful surroundings and comfortable accommodation. What more do we need?

Cotswolds Getaway

Discover the picturesque village of Brailes, recognised as an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Cotswolds. Our rooms at The George Inn have recently had a full spruce up – perfect for a relaxing weekend away.

Stay and Dine at The Castle at Edgehill

Have you ever stayed in a real-life Castle? No? Well, now is your chance! Perched upon the summit of Edgehill, The Castle enjoys some of the best views across the Warwickshire countryside and is also within easy reach of Leamington Spa and Stratford Upon Avon.

Lazy Weekends in Hellidon

The Red Lion is situated in the beautiful, chocolate box village of Hellidon. The front beer garden overlooks the stunning Northamptonshire

countryside, better enjoyed with an Aperol Spritz in hand (of course!)

Stay in our Shepherds’ Huts

If you’ve never stayed in a Shepherds’ hut before, well, why not? These Shepherds’ huts are a harmonious blend of rustic allure and modern luxury. Experience staying in a pub, without actually staying in a pub!

A Night or Two in Hook Norton?

Hook Norton is a beautiful village in North Oxfordshire. The Sun Inn is perfectly situated for exploring the Cotswolds, without staying amongst the hustle and bustle of the Cotswolds itself. This pub has seven guest rooms and honestly, there is nothing better than waking up to a view of St Peter’s church with the sun shining.

So, whilst everyone else is choosing costal, why not choose rural? Rural escapes allows you to reconnect with nature, enjoy wide-open green spaces, and experience a much more laid back pace of life.

Big Love
