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.

Vindolanda has given us a fantastic insight into what Roman life in Northumberland was actually like.
The fort, which lies below Housesteads, was built in AD 85 some four decades before construction of nearby Hadrian's Wall began.
It was still occupied four hundred years later and its estimated that more than ten Roman forts were built on the site over the centuries.
Today you can see the remains of some of those forts including the ruins of bath houses and temples - but it is Vindolanda's superb museum and collection that really stays in the mind.
Here you can examine writing tablets found on the site which give us a fascinating insight into Roman life. Among those exhibited you'll see an invitation to a birthday party and inventories detailing the camp's needs.
The museem also contains a selection of the thousands of archeological finds that have been unearthed at Vindolanda over the years including shoes, stools, wagon axles and even tent pegs.
There are also some reconstructions of what life was like for those left at Vindolanda after the Romans abandoned Britain.
If you want to have a try at digging up some Roman treasures, Vindolanda holds regular digs and volunteers are welcome.
