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 .
