Cheap UK staycation deals

TravelSupermarket is the key to unlocking cheap hotel deals in the UK.

A great way to explore the UK is to book one of its many hotels - there are thousands to choose from - plus charming bed & breakfasts and guesthouses. Need a hand sifting through them? No problem. Our handy filters and nifty sliders allow you to narrow your search results by star-rating, price, guest rating and other useful things - such as free breakfast and wi-fi - putting your ideal hotel at your fingertips (and at the right price, of course).

In the big cities, you will find all the major hotel brands competing for business. In addition, there are many small family-owned hotels and guesthouses who can provide a comfortable stay. Visit England runs the official star ratings system; this has been adopted across the country to ensure that guest expectations are met (who wants a two-star room when you’ve been promised four?)

From a simple room with a bed for the night, to a sumptuous suite in a castle or a country house, your budget is the only limit when it comes to booking an amazing UK hotel.

Hotels are in big demand all year round in the cities of London, Edinburgh, York, Chester, Bath, Brighton and Blackpool, as well as Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool. Those in scenic areas, such as the Lake District, and at the coast will be more popular in the summer months and during school summer holidays and weekends.

Booking early ensures better availability and therefore a better chance of nabbing low prices on UK hotels. Compare prices on TravelSupermarket and bag a bargain break.

For short breaks, UK holiday homes and country cottages are popular. Private and ideal for bigger groups, it’s easy to understand the appeal…

Book a country cottage or holiday home and enjoy your very own place in the countryside. Use it as a base to explore the surrounding area or simply lock yourself in and escape from the world outside. You have the convenience of self-catering. You can choose a property size to suit you - whether you're a couple wanting to be on your own or a large family or group of friends. And many rentals even accept pets, so the whole clan can get away for a break. What’s not to love?

With cottages located in all of the major national parks, as well as many coastal areas, there are many locations to consider for UK breaks. Devon and Cornwall are popular destinations, with dazzling beaches and idyllic coastal scenery. The Lake District is also high on the wish list for many, with the chance to visit the many lakes and climb the hills and mountains of this wonderful area before popping into a cosy pub or café for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink.

Cottages come in all shapes and sizes, from traditional stone-built, thatched-roofed havens, through to modern conversions of lighthouses and barns.

Families looking for adventure, value and plenty of laughs should consider a break at one of the UK’s brilliant holiday parks.

When it comes to cheap breaks, UK holiday parks are ideal for families. Haven’t been to one recently? Worried it’s all naff entertainment and basic cabins? Think again.

The post-war generation grew up on holidays at Butlins and Pontins holiday camps in the 50s and 60s. While many still think of TV's 'Hi-de-Hi!' when considering a park holiday, these days holiday parks have transformed into modern, exciting places to take the family for a break.

Think games centres, exciting entertainment, a choice of restaurants, spas and modern bedrooms with all of the latest gadgets and conveniences. Many have had sparkling makeovers to match hotel standards and affordable rates are available for self-catering holidays, as well as a range of other board options.

From hotel-style complexes and forest lodges, to beachside chalets and caravans, holiday parks offer a wide range of accommodation styles and facilities to suit every budget. Each park has its own character and menu of activities, so compare parks to find the right one for you and your group.

From beaches and mountains to castles and not one but four dazzling capital cities: when you rent a car in the UK, you can explore the diverse attractions of this island nation at your leisure. You’ve arrived at the only destination you need to find cheap UK car hire. Search wider with TravelSupermarket to compare top rental deals from around the country all in one place.
