You can rent an entire pub from £17pp per night and stay over with your mates

Some pubs can be rented out for families and friends to stay over for as little as £17 per person, per night.

Pubs located in the Peak District, Shropshire, Herefordshire and beyond can now be used as the perfect little getaway.

If you and your mates love a cosy pub to unwind and enjoy a few tipples while having a game of pool, or just having somewhere to get together and enjoy the banter, this could make the perfect stay.

From birthday celebrations to many other kinds of get-togethers, why bother meeting up at the local boozer where you have to queue at the bar, find somewhere to sit or stand, and talk over the background noise, when you can have the place all to yourself with your favourite people?

Not only do these great holiday lets feature all the best bits of a well loved boozer, including pub grub, pool tables and actual bars, two of the best are just over an hour away from Manchester.

Gathering all your best people together in one place could also be a cost-effective way to take a break. Starting from as little as £17 per person, per night, you could enjoy a seven-night stay at a pub for less than the cost of a meal out.
