Now if it really does get too much and the world falls apart, you can head to your very own Winchester and wait for it to blow over.
A traditional village inn that had served its community for over 500 years has closed its doors to punters and opened it up to staycationers. Now as an AirBnB property, guests can live in a real-working pub and yep, even the kegs are still in place for you to pull your very own pint.
So, let's get this straight. It's a staycation that essentially comes with unlimited alcohol.

Set in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds of Tetford, it's only a two hour drive from Leeds, making it the perfect spot to head off for a weekend away with your nearest and dearest- or for the ultimate party.
There's space for fourteen friends or family members with six bedrooms all have ensuite shower and toilet available. There's also a sofa bed for two more downstairs if you have any surprise extra guests.
If you're looking for a spot for your guests to eat, you'll barely fill the tables. The dining room seats twenty people with room for up to forty standing, so you really can host your very own pub- night. You’ll have a full self catering kitchen with every appliance you need plus your own private terrace and have a BBQ or outdoor fire for cosy twilight nights under the stars.
In 2015, The Guardian quoted the village area as "English countryside at its quintessential best, with rolling hills, babbling brooks and unspoilt farmland" and the reviews only seem to encourage this depiction.
One reviewer said: "The place was as you would expect, a 500 year old pub with an abundance of character. It had everything my group and I needed for our stay. The area is quiet and the locals are friendly. We will definitely consider coming back in the future."

Another said: "Wow! I almost want to write a terrible review so the pub doesn't get booked up... You never can tell with photos but it's a proper pub, not miniature, and well stocked with everything that we could have needed. It was very easy to self-cater and I'd recommend arriving with everything you need rather than needing a foray to shops.
"Richard was the perfect host. He put on a cask of beer especially for us and was there next door if we ever needed him, but he didn't intrude (especially perfect mid Covid). It was amazing to have a pub of our own, with beer and a crackling log fire.The village is small and sleepy. Half an hour's drive east there are loads of quiet sandy beaches.
"We drove to Mog's Eye and the dog had a brilliant time running on the sand. Truly an amazing break - five stars just isn't enough!"

We're sure this hidden gem is going to get booked up in no time, so to get your stay confirmed, visit AirBnB whilst you can.

Upstairs there's five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study - that should be plenty room for us we think.
But the exterior is where it gets really interesting as here you'll find five acres of beautifully maintained gardens featuring an orchard, kitchen garden and a tennis court.

There's also 'stabling suited to equine use, adding further appeal for those with equestrian interests'... we couldn't have put it better ourselves.
Beyond that The Rookery features it's very own detached two-bedroom cottage as well as a garage with mezzanine accommodation.

The entire property looks like something out of a fairytale, so if you're looking to live your best 19th century Bridgerton-esque life, then dig deep and get hold of that £1.75 million.
But if you do buy it, can we please live in the cottage?
