This title features 76 great inns hand-picked for their food, drink, accommodation and atmosphere by expert David Hancock. "Room at the Inn" is a weekend-away guide based around nearly 80 of England's plushest pubs, hand-picked by pub expert David Hancock and his team of independent food and travel writers. The food, decor and ambience of the inns are lovingly described and illustrated with full-colour photographs and the book has a funky, upmarket design. The selected pubs have top-class chefs, impressive wine lists, a choice of real ales and boutique-style bedrooms to rival any top hotel but the atmosphere is informal: muddy boots are welcome in the bar and you needn't dress up for dinner if you don't want to. And to make a weekend away for a discerning couple complete, each inn review is supported by a mapped AA walk and a page of specially selected shops, activities and places to visit in the area, making this the ultimate guide for a short break in England - great food and drink, followed by a night in a luxurious bedroom and the next day spent exploring the best the area has to offer.
