Airbnb to transform local pubs by turning spare rooms into cosy retreats   

This winter, Airbnb is proud to be joining forces with CAMRA to unveil a new initiative that rekindles the essence of pubs as the original bed and breakfasts - welcoming visitors to the heart of local communities. Three pubs in England and Wales will receive a £10,000 cosmetic makeover and support from the Airbnb Community Team to help turn a spare room into a cosy, income-boosting space for the pubs to welcome guests from all around the nation.
Interested in broadening your pub’s horizons beyond the tap? We want to hear how you envision expanding your pub's offering, how your pub supports your local community and why you will be a great host on Airbnb.
