BOUTIQUE HOTELS IN THE UK
It’s the little touches that make the UK’s boutique hotels some of the best in the world. Whether you fancy a country hideaway or a city pad, a new generation of small hotels, luxury B&Bs and restaurants-with-rooms have made finding that special place to stay even more exciting. Comfy beds, gorgeous linen, sumptuous toiletries, rain showers, organic breakfasts… the list of boutique bonuses can be endless.
But the best thing about these chic little hideaways is the intimacy. Fans of huge, five-star hotels or unwieldy country house hotels might not be used to the individually-designed bedrooms and the romantic cosiness boutique places-to-stay can offer, but for anyone looking for a relaxing, informal getaway they’re pretty much perfect.
For some of the best boutique accommodation in the UK, let theweekenders.co.uk point you in the right direction.
