Rooms at the inns by Maggie O'Sullivan
Inspired by the success of boutique-style hotels, many of our traditional country inns are being given a new lease of life, with an emphasis on high-quality cuisine and ultra-comfortable bedrooms. The best are in superb locations and, unlike their city cousins, have plenty of parking. Here are five of our current favourites.
The Anchor Inn, Dorset
You might have trouble getting a room here – there are only three – but this 160-year-old pub (above) right by the beach at Seatown is well the worth the effort.
