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.

Leeds suburb named one of the UK’s top ‘property hotspots’ for 2026 as house prices soar
A residential area in Leedshas been highlighted as a UK ‘property hotspot’ based off house price data from 2025.
And it's probably not the place you’d expect either.
There’s no doubt the property market in our region has been booming over the last decade or so, with average house prices seeming to rise year-on-year, and more and more areas becoming sought-after as the places to live time goes on – but now, Rightmove has released its list of the top UK property hotspots for this year based off 2025 data, and a rather surprising Leeds suburb has made their way onto it.
To create its list of hotspots, the UK’s biggest property website compared average house prices across the UK during 2025 to out find the areas where prices they have risen the most, and the areas where prices are increasing more than the national average indicate that the area is a ‘hotspot’.
As well as soaring prices, Rightmove also considers a ‘property hotspot’ to be a place where there is a high demand for homes too.

Seacroft in Leeds claimed ninth place on the top ten list.
The data shows the average house price in Seacroft to be £218,893 with a 9% increase since January 2025.
Taking the top spot is Hawick, in Roxburghshire, that saw average asking prices rise by as much as 18% in 2025, reaching £148,633. Scotland features strongly overall, with three locations appearing in the top 10.
Durham nabbed second place, with average asking prices up 15% year on year to £251,339, whilst Stannington in Sheffield completes the top three, with prices up 12% to £264,078.
Lesley Robinson, branch manager at Manning Stainton Crossgates, adds: “Seacroft has seen notable growth in asking prices over the past year, reflecting a wider trend we’re observing across more affordably priced areas in Leeds.
"Buyers are increasingly drawn to locations that offer strong transport links and easy access to the city centre, and Seacroft fits that profile.”
Behind the doors of this ‘charming’ old doctor’s surgery in Harewood on the market for £1.6 million
Clementine Hall
Fancy a look inside this beautiful former doctors house in the heart of Harewood?
Silly question, of course you do.
The only thing is, you'll need a spare £1.6 million before you can call it your own...but it doesn't hurt to have a look, does it?
Take a look behind this charming front door of what is, by far, one of the finest properties the Leeds housing market has to offer at the moment.

This Georgian family home features an impressive 6000 sq ft of accommodation as well as one of the most beautiful gardens we've ever seen.
I mean, how often do you have your own weeping willow tree in your front porch?
The house dates back to the late 1700’s and was once a former doctor’s surgery, but now it stands as one of the fanciest and most prestigious homes in Harewood.

We're already obsessed with the gorgeous stone and perfectly manicured landscape, but it's just as exciting when you take a look through the adorable sage green door.
The interior is giving cottage core but in the best way possible, we're talking plenty of wooden beams, solid oak flooring, original windows and of course a big fat AGA.
There's a whopping six bedrooms and three bathrooms (all featuring a sexy big bath), but the grounds are what really give this place the hefty price tag.

The listing itself states: "With its unique and private plot and rural walks on your doorstep, The Old Surgery provides a rare opportunity to enjoy tranquil village living, yet within striking distance to the hustle and bustle, in a home that is steeped in superb history."
Yep, we couldn't have put it better ourselves.
To have a proper nosey, take a look at the listing here.
