Hotels Britain

Britain is the ninth largest island in the world and the third most populated. The name Britain collectively refers to England, Wales and Scotland and therefore also includes a number of small outlying islands such as the Isle of Wight and the Orkney and Shetland Isles. At its furthest points, Lands End, Cornwall in South West England to John O'Groats at the far North East of Scotland, the island is 601.5 miles long. The island is steeped in history, culture and tradition; it has amazing coastlines complete with dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches to buzzing inner cities. When it comes to hotels Britain has some of the finest.

Britain is known for its unpredictable and wet weather and despite its relatively small size, the climate varies greatly from region to region. This is due to many factors including latitude and the effects of the Atlantic Ocean but generally speaking and as a rough guideline; the south and west tend to be mild, although wet, the east tends to be drier although a little cooler and the north is cooler and wetter. There is always plenty to do however, rain or shine. If you do find yourself stuck for something to do on a wet day, wherever you are in Britain, you will not be far from a museum or a castle or any number of other indoor attractions.

Britain has some fantastic beaches dotted along its coast line. Some of the best are in Wales, check out the Gower Peninsula or take a look at the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park. The Park covers around 240 square miles and is a mixture of sandy beaches, wooded estuaries and cliffs and is the only National Park in the country to have been granted its status due to its outstanding coastline.

If you prefer to save your money for sightseeing and shopping, then one of the modern chain budget hotels may suit you.
