This restored Jacobean manor has some pretty amazing features and it also has its own gardens & lakes for you to explore. While it is little more than an upscale bed-and-breakfast I think it is a little touch of historical class at a pretty reasonable price.

With its thatched roof and whitewashed exterior this classic pub inn ticks all the right boxes. It is also thought to be Britain’s oldest inn and maybe that is because of its impressive views of the Great Ouse river that has allowed it to stand the test of time.

You are probably wondering why I would suggest staying at a cinema! Well…it was indeed a cinema in 1929 but has since then been converted into an Art Deco hotel with 13 rooms that are all en suite. If you want somewhere quirky to stay this has to be right up there and I have to say the rooms are more spacious than you might think.
