Foodie Stays: the Best Places to Eat & Sleep in the UK
We have to admit that at Cool Places we like our weekend breaks and holidays to be as easy and as comfortable as possible. So we love good hotels with great restaurants, and wonderful restaurants with fantastic rooms – that way, you never have to leave the premises to enjoy great places to sleep and great places to eat, all under one roof. This guide to the best fine dining hotels and restaurants with rooms in the UK rounds up some amazing hotels, country house hotels, inns, pubs, gastropubs and restaurants with rooms. These are not just places where you can eat and sleep but where you can do both wonderfully well, in large comfortable guest rooms and suites that are just a short walk from an enticing destination restaurant where non-residents are jostling for a table too. The best foodie stays in the UK have never been so easy to find – appetites at the ready!
