What’ s your style?
Kiwis love to travel. We pride ourselves on our friendly, outgoing nature and when we travel, we like nothing better than striking up a conversation with the locals- it’ s how we really connect with a destination. It’ s often hard to do this when you’ re staying in a hotel. That’ s why we’ re such big fans of more unique, boutique-style accommodation options. This style of accommodation is great if you like to get off the beaten track- there are hundreds of properties in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to choose from, ranging from private country homes and manor houses, to boutique inns and even castles.
Hotel
Traditional and serviced, if you want a truly relaxed break where everything is done for you, booking a hotel is the way to go. Serviced daily, you’ ll return to a lovely clean bathroom, fluffy towels, a made bed and possibly a chocky on your pillow. Some hotels are well facilitated with a restaurant, bar, pool or gym, and because there’ s such a huge variety of price and standards / star-rating, you’ ll find the right hotel to suit your needs.
Apartment
If you’ re looking for greater independence, apartments are fully equipped with facilities such as a kitchen, laundry and more space. They’ re usually located in the heart of the neighbourhood so you can choose to eat out at local restaurants or visit the market for some fresh produce before a relaxing night in. Perfect for longer stays but also ideal for families and groups of friends who want a little extra privacy and more room.
Bed & Breakfast
If you’ re travelling to the UK of course you’ re going to visit one or more of the big cities like London, Cardiff or Edinburgh. But don’ t forget to stop off and explore what the locals call the real Britain- the towns and country villages that litter this amazing nation. Throughout England, Scotland and Wales you’ ll find a huge choice of private homes, guesthouses and farm stays where you can experience genuine hospitality.
