Worcestershire’s Best Pubs with Rooms

Despite its beauty and peace, Worcestershire isn’t one of the most popular counties for visitors, and it’s not known for its great hotels. What our Gurus are happy to recommend are some great old pubs and coaching inns. Worcestershire’s 3 best pubs with rooms make great bases for seeing this county, and will give you all the comfort you need, plus a local insight you’ll just not get if you stay in a generic hotel.

Worcestershire is closer to the peaceful green of the Welsh marshes than the industrial heart of the Midlands, a county of rolling hills, deep green fields and ancient woodlands. There’s wonderful walking, riding and cycling in the Malvern Hills, plus a chance to see the extravagant villas of Great Malvern and Elgar’s wonderful stained glass window in Worcester cathedral.

The Royal Forester Inn is a nicely refurbished old coaching inn, located just outside the Wire Forest. There are seven modern rooms with comfy beds and pop art, plus a traditional British restaurant and bar and big open fireplaces. Quaint, and great for families and dogs!

The Royal Forester Inn

The Lygon Arms was once a popular pitstop for folk travelling by carriage en route between Worcester, Oxford and London, and the earliest evidence of this original coaching inn dates back to 1377. Today this inn has a comfortably inviting interior and all the offerings of a contemporary hotel that will appeal to all ages. Great getaway for romantic weekenders, good base for families as well as walkers wanting understated luxury.
