Schildwirtschaft

Hospitality
I need an English (UK) term for "Schildwirtschaft", a hospitality and accommodation business for travelers and their means of transportation in the late Middle Ages and early modern times. It is therefore considered a precursor to today’s rest areas, truck stops, and highway rest stops.
Was als Schildwirtschaft begonnen hat, wird bis zur endgültigen Fertigstellung zum Vorreiter für sanften Tourismus im Appenzellerland. Erste Belege bestätigen eine Schildwirtschaft im Zentrum des damaligen Weilers (= settlement).
Thank you.

wayside tavern/journeyman's inn.
"The Bull, a wayside tavern, weathers sixteen centuries of British history and its hardy Gilderson family proprietors serve every colorful wayfarer along the way and survive every misfortune, from palgues to Nazis."
