Travel advice Resident Telegraph travel expert Sophie Butler offers her advice on getting the best value from British hotels.
The credit crunch is bad news in many ways – but not if you’re planning a hotel break in Britain. Over the past few years, rises in room rates have made British hotels among the most expensive in Europe, with the average cost of a night’s stay now well over £100.
Traditionally, in autumn and winter, when hotels rely on home-grown customers, prices drop, but at this time of year, when we are competing for beds with visitors from overseas, it can be almost impossible to find anything affordable.
However, according to Miles Quest, of the British Hospitality Association (BHA), the outlook is different this year. “Until Easter, hotel bookings were holding up well,” he says, “and although I’m not saying that the situation is by any means catastrophic, there’s more caution around. The onus is on hotels to continue to provide value.”
