Each of the pubs analysed was then awarded a score out of 100, with the Royal Standard of England crowned the cosiest watering hole in the country.

Located in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, the pub first opened its doors over 900 years ago, and it claims to be the oldest in the country.

The entire pub is steeped in history, including its medieval tiled flooring, stained glass windows, and wooden beams on the ceilings, as well as intimate booths, comfortable armchairs and woven tapestries.

The dog-friendly pub serves a selection of alcoholic drinks as well as traditional plates of pub grub, including pies, steaks and Sunday roasts.

The pub has received rave reviews on TripAdvisor, receiving a 4/5 star rating from more than 1,600 holidaymakers.

One person wrote: “A brilliant spot for lunch and a drink – the place just oozes charm and history if only the walls could talk.”

While another person added: “We enjoyed a lovely lunch in this ancient Inn. The decor and huge fireplaces with little secluded nooks evoke wonderful historic nostalgia.”

Someone else chimed in: “Arguably my favourite gastropub. The food is great, good beer selection, and the building and atmosphere are amazing.”

The cosy pub has also been the backdrop for several feature films, including The Theory of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne, and Hot Fuzz with Simon Pegg.

Earlier this week, Andrew Scott filmed scenes for the romantic comedy Too Much, a Netflix production direct by Lena Dunham.

The market town has also starred in other films and TV shows, including Downton Abbey, Penelope, and Sense & Sensibility, according to IMDB.

In addition to playing host to the cosiest pub in the UK, there are plenty of other things to do in Beaconsfield, including Bekonscot Model Village & Railway.

The model village first opened in 1929, claiming to be the oldest model village in the world.

Stuck in a time warp in 1930s Britain, the model village features seven tiny towns scattered across a sprawling 1.5-acre garden.

Entry tickets to the record-breaking attraction cost £14.60 for a full-paying adult and £9.30 for a child.

Other nearby attractions include Cliveden House, Windsor Castle and Legoland Windsor.

Beaconsfield is a 70-minute drive from London, and it’s a 30-minute drive from Slough.

The market town can also be reached on a direct train from London Marylebone, with services taking approximately 30 minutes.
