Book Your Own Pub: Historic Lake District Inn Available for Rent

For those seeking a unique getaway, a historic pub in England's Lake District is now available for rent, offering a complete private lodging experience. The Sun Inn Hawkshead, a former coaching inn dating back to the 1800s, has been converted into a rental property that accommodates up to 20 guests.

The property retains many features of a traditional pub, including a bar and dining room, along with an outdoor seating area. A recently installed flash chiller allows guests to set up their own kegs and serve their own pints. The inn boasts 10 bedrooms, including en-suite and twin rooms, providing ample accommodation for larger groups.

The location in Hawkshead places guests within the Lake District National Park, described on the pub's website as one of the most beautiful and unspoiled villages, known for its car-free lanes and medieval architecture. It is situated between Windermere and Coniston Water, offering access to walking, cycling, and boating activities.

Prices for a three-night stay start at £2,869. When booked to full capacity, this equates to approximately £143 per person.

Reviews from guests highlight the unique experience. One guest described the pub as "everything we needed and more," praising the well-set-up rooms, en-suites, and kitchen facilities for a group of 20. Another review called it a "great pub in a great location" and the "perfect setting for our stag do." Others noted the "great fun to have your own pub" and its suitability for family gatherings.
