Pub with rooms FAQs

Can I book directly with the pub? 

Yes. When you book through Sawday’s, you’ll book directly with the people who run the pub. That means no booking fees, better local recommendations and the chance to ask questions before you arrive, whether you’re planning a walking holiday, celebrating a special occasion or bringing the dog. 

Do you have boutique and luxury pubs with rooms? 

Absolutely. Our collection ranges from beautifully restored boutique inns with individually designed bedrooms to luxury pubs with freestanding baths, exceptional restaurants and countryside or coastal views. What they all share is independent ownership and plenty of personality. 

Are dogs welcome in your pubs with rooms? 

Many pubs with rooms in the UK are indeed dog-friendly, recognising that for many people, a holiday just wouldn’t be the same without their dog. Some pubs might provide special features such as dog beds, blankets, and bowls, while others might have specific rooms set aside for guests with dogs. Always check the specific rules of the pub you’re planning to stay at to avoid any disappointment. Each listing clearly explains its dog-friendly facilities, so it’s easy to find the right stay for everyone in the family. 

What’s included when I stay at a pub with rooms? 

Every pub is different, but you’ll usually enjoy an en suite bedroom, breakfast and easy access to the pub downstairs for lunch, dinner or a drink by the fire. Many of our pubs also offer thoughtful extras, from homemade biscuits and locally roasted coffee to gardens, terraces and walking routes straight from the door.
