Types of Accommodation

Britain as a wide variety of accommodation options ranging from historic five-star establishments such as the art-deco Claridge's, Savoy and Park Lane hotels in London to more homely Bed & Breakfast (B&B) establishments - basically rooms in private homes.

There are a number of budget hotel chains aimed at families and business travellers. These no-frills chains include Holiday Inn Express, Jurys Inn, Premier Inn and Travelodge. Breakfast may or may not be included in the room price.

Bed & Breakfasts (B&Bs) and guesthouses are often found in seaside resorts and other tourist towns and offer a chance to stay in an authentic British home and experience breakfast - usually a choice of the traditional fried breakfast or a continental option.

B&Bs make for better options for people travelling together rather than single visitors.

Many pubs and former coaching inns also have a bed and breakfast service.

Other accommodation options in the UK include hostels, youth hostels, camp sites and self-catering accommodation.
