InnPlaces.co.uk selects outstanding British inns and aims to generate interest in their local area by including extra information on regional food businesses and producers 

InnPlaces.co.uk is a new website launched by industry expert David Hancock (past editor of the Sawday Pubs & Inns and AA guides) to encourage people to discover and stay in the best pubs with rooms around Britain.  The inns selected in Norfolk are The White Horse, (Brancaster Staithe), The Crown, (Wells-next-the-sea), The Gunton Arms, (Thorpe Market), The Wiveton Bell, (Wiveton), The Ingham Swan (Ingham) and The Ship Hotel (Brancaster).

Every inn has been personally invited by David Hancock to join InnPlaces.co.uk as it was seen to be an outstanding example of one of the best pubs with rooms in the country.  The criteria to be featured on the site included: offering exceptional locally sourced fresh food, stylish, comfortable accommodation and have a welcoming atmosphere.  Each inn had to then undergo a further inspection by an industry expert in order to be officially included. 

InnPlaces.co.uk also aims to help customers get the most out of their visit.  The site provides everything needed to plan a perfect break away – a great inn to stay in; activities and places of interest to visit; things to do and where to shop.  The site also includes a unique Food Trail for Norfolk with details of quality food pubs, restaurants, cafés, Deli’s, farm shops and local producers within a 20 mile radius of each inn.

David Hancock has been writing about inns and pubs in Britain for the past 25 years.  His vision was to create a top quality travel accommodation website that gives visitors the assurance that they will be able to safely book a stay at over 70 countryside inns and have a great experience.  No property can buy their way onto the website, each one has to be personally invited – over the coming months more inns will be added as the site continues to grow.

David Hancock said: “I am delighted to include these wonderful pubs with rooms on InnPlaces and to help people fully enjoy their visit to the region.  Innplaces.co.uk is the result of my many years of discovering, inspecting and writing about the best inns in the country.  I hope people enjoy my choices and will find InnPlaces the number one site when choosing and booking a stay in amazing British country pubs.”
