Accommodation Guide

The UK is a country rich in tourism resources, attracting tourists from all over the world every year. Before introducing the types of British hotels, let us first talk about British hotel ratings:

Hotels in the UK, whether hotels or B&Bs, all have an AA logo with black letters on a yellow background. This is the abbreviation of The Automobile Association, a relatively authoritative rating system in the UK and an industry benchmark in the tourism industry. The higher the star rating, the better the service quality and facilities of the hotel. AA divides various accommodation types very clearly. Each category has different standards and then scores within the categories. The three categories are hotels, B&Bs, hostels and youth hostels, etc., so that each level can be guaranteed. Hotels can receive fair and objective ratings.

｜Hotel Group

International hotel chains, such as Holiday Inn, Crown Plaza and other common domestic brands, cover everything from budget to five-star high-end hotels. No matter which city or country in the world, hotel chains all contain the genes and standards of their own brands. The UK also has its own national chains, such as Jurys Inn, Clayton Hotel, etc. Compared with domestic chain hotels of the same level, hotels in China often have smaller lobbies, no elevators, no air conditioning, small rooms, narrow beds, and rooms in basements, etc.

｜Non-chain hotels

Usually refers to a more formal hotel, and the star rating is very similar to that in China. It gives a rating of 2 to 5 stars based on service quality and professional evaluation. Some scenic spots in the UK, such as Isle of Skye, Northern Scotland and other remote scenic spots, have very limited hotel resources. They are usually B&Bs or farmhouses.

｜Castle / Estate Hotel Castle / Estate Hotel

Castle Manor Hotel is the most distinctive feature of British hotels. This type of hotel is generally located in a beautiful and secluded area. Guests traveling by car or chartered car can try it. Renovated from a very historic castle or an ancient manor, you will feel a magnificent and luxurious British style when you enter the hotel. Due to the remote location, it is recommended to have breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Because the buildings of this type of hotel are old, the hardware facilities may not be as good as those of modern hotels.

｜B&B

This is a very British way of accommodation that is affordable, convenient and fast. It once attracted many foreign tourists as well as many local tourists. Literally speaking, a B&B is a place that provides breakfast and accommodation. It is especially suitable for short-term travel and can meet the basic needs of ordinary tourists. Many of these small hotels are converted from private residences and have complete facilities. Many of them are equipped with kitchen supplies to facilitate tourists to cook their own meals. B&Bs are generally widely distributed in scenic spots, such as the British Lake District, Peak District National Park, etc. There are many unique B&Bs with cheap prices and beautiful scenery, allowing you to experience British life and culture to the maximum extent.

｜Guest House

Most of the time, the owners organize some of their unused houses into hotels. Usually such hotels provide thoughtful services and are closer to the lives of locals. The hotel's services and cleaning are mainly completed by the owners.

｜Farmhouse Cottage

Usually a small country house unique to England. This type of accommodation is also a very traditional British style that is unique to the UK. Farmhouses are generally located in scenic areas and are converted from private single-family villas. They are usually rented out as a whole, which is suitable for families traveling together or traveling together. All the equipment in the house is available, making it particularly convenient and comfortable.
