What does a stay in a pub look like now for couples, families, ramblers, dog owners, beer lovers and others? How does the personal touch in a smaller property combine with Covid-secure practices? What kind of experiences are available for your 2020 staycation?
Join our Zoom where we’re talking to travel experts and the folks from Stay in a Pub about what our next break could look like.
