When visiting our holiday cottages, one thing that our guests often ask us is ‘Where is the nearest pub?’.
Most of us enjoy going to the pub while on holiday, and it can make a real difference if you can walk there!
For those who enjoy the friendly atmosphere of a local pub, our self-catering holiday cottages near a pub are ideal. Enjoy local beers and ales and delicious pub food, and relax and appreciate the true local area.
Here is a selection of some of our great coastal and country holiday cottages near pubs, where the nearest pub is no more than a 15-minute walk away.
Looe Island View, South East Cornwall
A luxury contemporary hideaway on a hillside with wonderful panoramic sea views, Looe Island View takes some beating. It’s a picturesque spot and a great location for exploring the South West Coast Path. Beautiful Downderry beach is just a stroll away and Adventure Bay surf school is four miles. The Inn on the Shore and the very popular Blue Plate restaurant run by local chef Nick Barclay are both 15 minutes’ walk. See all pubs nearby in WhatPub.
Kingham Cottages, Cotswolds
The Kingham Plough and The Wild Rabbit are two of the most renowned gastropubs in the country. Stay at Kingham Cottages a few minutes’ walk away, and you’ll be able to call them your local. The owners of these five homely cottages have gone to great lengths to make the place family-friendly; facilities include a wonderful indoor pool, relaxing steam room and entertainment room.

Stable Cottage, Wiltshire
With footpaths from the door, Stable Cottage is a dog-friendly, timber-clad dwelling on the very edge of Milton Lilbourne, one of the finest villages in the Pewsey Vale.
