A bed and breakfast that comes with its own replica British pub is up for grabs, and while it may have no beer, it has so much charm it could put a smile on Basil Fawlty.

The substantially-sized replica pub is unlicensed, but the cosy snug, complete with fireplace and Chesterfiled lounges, is perfect for a spot of tea and a scone.

The Mount Mee Country Inn and pub is owned by the Franklin’s, who bought it in 2015.

“Well, firstly, I’m English and we’d been looking for somewhere to do a bed and breakfast for years, and I always wanted to do it with my parents in England. It was a day out and we just found it — (we were) astonished,” Mrs Franklin said.

She said the pub, which was built by the previous owners in about 2010, was a true replica, with everything from a bar, to a kitchen, snooker room and even a “snug” with fireplace and chesterfield lounges.

Although she said the snug was traditionally the “ladies room” — where the women used to drink separately to the men.

Tiffany’s tea room, named after one of Mrs Franklin’s daughters, is where guests can enjoy breakfast as well as Devonshire and afternoon teas.

If it wasn’t for changes in the family’s circumstances, Mrs Franklin would not be selling, describing the home and Mount Mee as the perfect place to live.

“The neighbours are perfect, the weather is perfect, we just love it, absolutely love it, and it’s only due to family circumstances that we are moving,” she said.
