10 Romantic Pubs with Rooms in the UK to Cosy Up This Autumn

October 7, 2025 by Akylina Printziou

There’s a particular kind of British romance that lives behind a pub door: low beams and candlelit corners, a log fire after a rain-lashed walk, and, upstairs, a bedroom you don’t have to brave the weather to reach. Today’s pub-with-rooms takes that old coaching-inn DNA and gives it creature comforts such as freestanding baths, good mattresses, even a breakfast that’s worth lingering over.

For couples, it’s a sweet spot: the warmth and character of a village local paired with the simple luxury of rolling straight upstairs—no taxis, no fuss. And while domestic trip volumes have ebbed and flowed, spending on overnight stays in England has ticked up, underscoring the appeal of intimate, good-value breaks close to home.

In that spirit, we’ve hand-picked a UK-wide edit of romantic pubs with rooms in the UK, places where the welcome is heartfelt, the food is worth the journey, and the bedrooms invite a lie-in. Whether you’re plotting a surprise weekend or a first escape after a busy spell, these inns deliver the kind of easy, fireside chemistry only Britain does so well.

The Lamb Inn


A proper village local with real character: low beams, a lively bar for pints and pickled eggs, a separate dining room for lingering suppers, and a generous garden for sunny afternoons. It’s run by Peter Creed and Tom Noest (of The Bell at Langford fame), so you can expect unfussy, comforting pub dishes done well including devilled kidneys, rarebit and roasts, with a straightforward list of beers and wine.

Upstairs (and in a cottage next door) sit 10 bedrooms, simply styled and comfortable, with king or super-king beds, walk-in showers and, in several rooms, romance-signalling roll-top baths. It’s the classic pub-with-rooms formula: modern bathrooms, good mattresses and just-shut-the-door cosiness after dinner.

Why it’s romantic: Duck in from a rain-washed Cotswolds walk to the glow of the bar, linger over something hearty, then tiptoe up for a deep soak and a quiet village night.

The Bath Arms Shearwater


Edge-of-estate and quietly bucolic, this 17th-century historic inn sits by Shearwater Lake on the fringe of Longleat’s parkland. Downstairs it’s all classic country-pub warmth—wood, copper bar, and a menu that skews hearty and seasonal—while outside you’ve got woodland and waterside strolls from the door.

Rooms are back in action, with a small set of bedrooms above the pub, giving that “slip upstairs after last orders” ease couples love. You'll find simple, comfortable styling and an intimate, low-key feel rather than hotel-scale gloss.

Why it’s romantic: Lakeside walks at golden hour, an unhurried supper, then an easy wander up to bed, with the hush of the woods and the clink of the bar winding down.

The Great Bustard


A freshly revived country pub on the Great Durnford Estate, the Great Bustard brings proper local-inn atmosphere—pint at the bar, seasonal plates, crackling fire—plus a few thoughtful extras (there’s even a treatment room and a small farm shop), making it a great contender for romantic pubs with rooms in the UK. It sits in the Woodford Valley by the River Avon, so countryside strolls start from the door.

There are 10 bedrooms: two tucked above the pub and eight more set around the courtyard in converted outbuildings. It offers super-king beds, pared-back, natural textures and calm, grown-up bathrooms, while providing an easy “dinner downstairs, bed two minutes away” setup.

Why it’s romantic: A lazy afternoon along the Avon, an unhurried supper in the pub, then a short moonlit walk across the courtyard to your room. Quiet, private and wonderfully rural.

The Swan Inn


This centuries-old coaching inn in a pretty South Downs village keeps the pub feeling front and centre: a wood-panelled bar, local ales and a menu of comforting British dishes, with plenty to linger over after a day’s wandering.

Upstairs and in the eaves are 12 guest rooms, furnished for proper switch-off: king or twin beds, and ensuite bathrooms with monsoon showers and, in several, freestanding baths. It’s the sort of place where you can park the car and forget it, with rambling routes, Petworth and Arundel close by, and your room just above the action.

Why it’s romantic: Fireside drinks, a hearty, old-school dinner, then a soak in a freestanding tub before sinking into a cloud-soft bed. Classic country-inn comfort with just the right amount of polish.

The Crown

A centuries-old coaching inn at the heart of Old Amersham, The Crown keeps the pub spirit front and centre, featuring flagstone floors, snug corners, and a menu built for lingering over roasts and grills. The bar hums with locals and weekending Londoners, while the dining room leans modern-rustic without losing the inn’s historic bones.

Bedrooms are spread across several buildings and come in a range of sizes from boltholes to more spacious options, all with natural textures and unfussy comforts (such as pure cotton sheets, Jacob’s wool blankets, proper showers). Ilse Crawford’s design threads through the rooms, keeping things warm, tactile and understated.

Why it’s romantic: A fireside drink downstairs, then the simplest pleasure: slipping straight up to a calm, design-led room in one of Buckinghamshire’s prettiest market towns.

The Rose & Crown, Snettisham


Everything you want from a characterful coastal-edge village pub: twisting passages, low beams, pamment floors and logs on the fire, with proper ales and a crowd-pleasing menu. In fine weather, the walled garden is the spot for a glass of something cold before supper.

Upstairs are 16 individually styled bedrooms in breezy, seaside colours, each with an en-suite bathroom and the easy comforts that make a one-night stop turn into two. It’s an effortlessly relaxed romantic pub with rooms in the UK, an ideal base for beach walks, birdwatching on the Wash and exploring North Norfolk.

Why it’s romantic: Candlelight and crackle-of-the-fire cosiness in the bar, then a quiet stroll through the garden to bed. You'll wake to big skies and a salty day out on the coast.

The Punch Bowl Inn


A classic Lakeland inn beside the village church, with low beams, a proper bar for local ales and pork scratchings, and a dining room that leans seasonal and comforting after a day on the fells. It feels intimate without being fussy—very much a place to settle in by the fire and linger over supper.

Upstairs are nine boutique-style rooms, many with roll-top baths and separate power showers. The beds are super comfy and views look over the gentle folds of the Lyth Valley. If you’re splashing out, the top-floor suite comes with twin roll-top tubs.

Why it’s romantic: A slow pint by the hearth, a candlelit dinner downstairs, then a deep soak with hill views from the bed. Classic Lakes cosiness in an old stone inn.

The Drunken Duck Inn


High on a fell-top crossroads above Ambleside, this picture-postcard pub blends a lively bar, thoughtful cooking and its own on-site brewery, making it perfect after a day’s walking. Inside you’ll find snug corners, polished wood and the easy hum of a proper country inn.

Rooms sit across the main house and outbuildings, mixing contemporary comforts with rustic touches. Several have terraces or fell views, and all come with the good basics such as smart bathrooms, thick linens and plenty of peace once the bar winds down.

Why it’s romantic: Fell-side sunsets, a pint brewed metres from your table, then the shortest wander to a quiet, cosseting room under big Cumbrian skies, making it an easy hotel for honeymoon escapes in the Lakes.

Kirkstile Inn


A whitewashed, 16th-century inn at the foot of Mellbreak, with proper pub character, including log fires, local ales and hearty, fell-friendly plates. The setting is wonderfully tucked-away between Loweswater and Crummock Water, so you can stroll straight out for lakeside rambles before drifting back to the bar, earning it its rightful place among the romantic pubs with rooms in the UK.

Upstairs are 11 bedrooms, seven in the main inn, many looking out to Mellbreak, while others sit in nearby annexe spaces. It features simple, country-calm styling, super-comfy beds and smart en-suite bathrooms—exactly what you want when “bed is just upstairs.”

Why it’s romantic: A quiet pint by the fire after a day on the fells, dusk settling over Mellbreak, and the softest of wanders to a snug room with big Lakeland skies outside.

Lord Crewe Arms Blanchland


Set in the honey-stone village of Blanchland, this storied inn keeps its pub soul alive downstairs, most memorably in The Crypt, a medieval, vaulted chamber where candles and chatter bounce off ancient stone. It’s as atmospheric as pubs come, with seasonal, country cooking and walks on the moors from the door.

There are 26 bedrooms spread across the main house and cottages, all in soothing North-Pennine tones with modern comforts. It’s the indulgent version of “pub with rooms,” where you linger over a last drink then slip straight upstairs.

Why it’s romantic: Fireside suppers, a nightcap beneath vaulted stone, and a cocooning bedroom in one of England’s prettiest, most peaceful villages.
