YOU can rent an entire pub for the night where you can pull your own pints with your mates for just £20 per person per night.
Once a fully-working public house, the Poachers Arms in the Peak District is now a holiday home.
Its nine en-suite double bedrooms can accommodate up to 30 guests – although that’s no mean feat compared to some of its other offerings.
One of its best features is the fully-functioning bar where holidaymakers can even pull their own pints.
Beer, lager and cider can be requested before staying, with the owners fitting the full kegs before your arrival so you can learn to pour the drink yourself.
There’s plenty to keep younger guests and non-drinkers entertained too with a games area in one of the sitting rooms.
From table games to books and table football to games consoles and a snooker table, guests certainly won’t get bored.
Other pub-like features include gas wood burner-effect stove, artwork on the walls and stained glass windows above door frames.
Outside is a large enclosed and safe gravelled area with a paved patio and covered hot tub, a charcoal barbecue and plenty of outdoor seating for groups to relax and drink in the fresh air whilst planning what to see or where to go next.
There’s also an enclosed children’s play area with swings, a slide and a climbing wall.
Each bedroom has been modernised with oak furnishing and thick fur blankets to stay warm, with baths and showers in the en-suites.
There is also a large modern kitchen, two large sitting areas which used to form the main lounge of the pub and an outdoor play area.
The owners include 25 parking spaces for people staying at the pub, so there is no need to worry how to get there.
The pub isn’t far from the village of Hope, with cafes and shops, while also being close to towns such as Bakewell and Buxton.
Prices start from £4,315 for seven nights, which works out to £20.50 per person for 30 people.
Guests of the pub have sung its praises, especially with the unique working bar feature.
On Sykes Cottages, one person wrote: “We never ran short of things to do during our four-night stay.”
Another person added: “Spent a weekend at the Poachers Arms for my 40th in January and it was absolutely amazing.”
While a third wrote: “The Poachers Arms is an amazing place to stay.”
