"Hostleries" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Hostleries are a type of lodging that was traditionally found along highways, where travelers, particularly traders and merchants, could stop to rest, refresh themselves, and often stable their horses. They were a common type of lodging in Europe during the Middle Ages. The term "hostelry" is now often used to refer to any place that provides lodging or accommodation, although it can also refer specifically to older-style inns and taverns.
