Looking for recommendations of Inns/hotels where you can stay, park a bike safely and have a decent meal / pint I am planning on doing some mini tours of a night away and would plan them around decent places to stay, preferably somewhere with a bit of character eg a decent traditional coaching house Literally anywhere in the UK if you have personal experience and can recommend?
The Hunters rest near Clutton Hunters Rest Inn Official Home Page (The Hunters Rest Inn was originally built around 1750 as a hunting lodge for The Earl of Warwick), just down the road literally from Louigi Moto and CJS Ducati. Get your bike remapped and the fuelling sorted while you stay there! That's what I did, in easy reach of Bristol and Bath main areas etc. so there is plenty to do. Area round the back to park a bike and local cider can be purchased from the same site as the above.
Ps. We come here quite regularly for Sunday lunch (mainly during winter as I'm more often than not out on the bike during spring, summer and autumn). But the food is fantastic and well presented, well priced and the ambience is gorgeous. Particularly on a cold winters day when the log fires are going. They used to have a Guinea Pig evening where the chef would try out new menus and for £20 a head you'd get a full three course meal with wine, and all you had to do was score the courses and perhaps write a little about them. The food was always magnificent but unfortunately they've stopped holding these evenings now :frown: I've not stopped there myself but I have had clients stay there and the rooms do look nice and it's not expensive in comparison to lesser "chain" hotels. Well recommended.
El T - I work in Brig so v close to me - didnt know about it - looks well worth a visit for food and a beer if not as part of a tour as so close! Thanks
If you want a proper Coaching Inn with fantastic food, stunning countryside for walks AND great riding roads, here's one I thoroughly recommend.... Bear Hotel Brecon Beacons Black Mountains - Welcome
clachaig inn glen coe, real ales, proper old bar with bands most nights, lounge bar if its a bit off quiet yer after.
Hotel in Fort William, Scottish Highlands, The Inn At Ardgour Scotland, UK Great place to explore Scotland and a decent price. The view from all the bedrooms is fantastic, took this picture at the front of the pub, the ferry lands right next to the place.
Stayed here last year, but can't recommend it - the shower curtain was ripped to shreds and the owner a transvestite...
