Cholmondeley Arms, in Cheshire, was given the award at the annual Great British Pub Awards.<\/p>\n

Affectionately nicknamed The Chum by locals, owners Tim and Mary bought the pub in 2011, and converted the ex-schoolhouse.<\/p>\n

The pub itself has a whopping 366 types of gin – one for every day of the year even in a leap year – as well as its own unique menu including a 'Cholmondeley Mess\u2019 desert and their 'Cholmondeley Chaser' cocktail.<\/p>\n

Events at the pub include their Cholmondeley Arms Car Club event alongside live music, gin tastings and themed menus including Greek Week.<\/p>\n

And at the pub are six rooms, found in the Old Headmaster's House with names of former teachers including Miss Fritton and Mr Chips.<\/p>\n

Ranging from "cosy", "comfy" and "roomy", each room has double beds and coffee machines, and they start from \u00a3110 a night.<\/p>\n

Each room comes with either a shower or rolltop bath, as well as breakfast or brunch at the pub.<\/p>\n

Tim Bird, owner of Cholmondeley Arms, said: \u201cAfter all these years together, it means the world. <\/p>\n

"When we opened, I said we can be a beacon of hope for rural pubs<\/span> but now we can be an ambassador as the pub of the year for Great Britain. <\/p>\n

"For the team, this is just amazing. Helen [the pub\u2019s general manager] has worked at the Cholmondeley for 12 years and she is the epitome of what our pubs should be. I am so proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

People on TripAdvisor have been raving about the pub too.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: "It\u2019s just great to enjoy a country pub when everything is just perfect and the owners and staff just know what they\u2019re doing. Exquisite."<\/p>\n

Another person said: "It's a shame we live 2.5 hours away but probably a good thing as I would want to eat here all the time!"<\/p>\n

A third commented: "Visiting the pub transports you to a scene from the past; idyllic old English countryside, warm hearty meals, and friendly service."<\/p>\n

The pub is near the woodland attraction BeWilderwood, a technology-free kid's resort once named the best attraction in the UK<\/p>\n
