Hotel & Guest Accommodation

Greenway Hotel
Hotels

Hotels in Britain come in all shapes and sizes, from the charming country house hotel with ample grounds and picturesque gardens to impressive modern structures in city centres.

They offer a range of facilities and services, depending on location and price. Town House hotels are located in city centres, with a small number of luxury rooms, beautiful furnishings, attentive staff and superb cuisine (or, if without a restaurant, offering 24 hour room service). Metro Hotels are also found in the centre of town and provide full hotel services with the exception of dinner.

As the name suggests, Country House Hotels are found in beautiful rural locations. They are often luxuriously appointed, set in their own grounds, and the rooms frequently have special features such as four-poster beds. Some may have leisure facilities like swimming pools or health spas and may be able to arrange country sport activities such as clay pigeon shooting and fishing.

Prices can vary widely from £70.00 per night outside London to over £200.00 in London, based on two people sharing a room with breakfast. Many large hotels have special offers at weekends and in the low season.

Wherever you wish to visit, and whatever your preferences, you’ll be sure to find a great hotel to suit all your needs.

Monks Pool B&B
Guest Accommodation

Stay in a family run B&B and really experience the British way of life. A home-cooked meal in a comfortable homely environment can make all the difference to your trip.

You’ll get a friendly welcome from resident owners who’ll want to give you every home comfort with that personal touch. They’ll also be keen to offer you local knowledge and recommend places to visit.

You’ll find Guest Accommodation almost everywhere in Britain, from Victorian houses in the city to converted farms in the countryside. Some places may have just one room to let, while others may have more than 10. Whatever the size, they are all comfortable and inviting.

Quality ranges from the simple to the luxurious. Bathrooms aren’t always en-suite, but many offer them as standard.

The main appeal to this type of accommodation is the homely feel. Relax and take in the hospitable atmosphere, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself enjoying breakfast with the family round a big table in the kitchen.

With an astounding array of wildlife from water voles to waders, hares to dragonflies, WWT Slimbridge is home to the world’s largest collection of swans, geese, ducks and flamingos.


This beautiful and internationally renowned reserve is unique to the South West and has something to offer visitors during every season from downy duckling days in spring to breathtaking wild swan feeds in winter.


Plan your day…


Many people’s favourite memory of visiting WWT Slimbridge is of hand feeding the many tame ducks and geese around the grounds, so be sure to visit the grain desk before you leave the visitor centre and head out to the grounds.
