5,700 pubs in the UK offer accommodation, with the largest proportion offering between 5 and 10 rooms in their pub.

Interestingly, managed houses offer the least number of pubs and rooms – showing the opportunities for individual licensees and tenants to offer accommodation.
The attached guidance offers some insights into accommodation development for licensees and tenants.
