A seaside Llandudno hotel is more than just a place to stay while you’re visiting the country and experiencing its many attractions. These hotels are also one of the most affordable vacation options available, which makes them popular among families who want to explore all that Llandudno has to offer. If you’re planning on visiting the United Kingdom soon, take a look at these four benefits of choosing a British seaside hotel as your lodging option.
Room Types
There are two basic types of hotel rooms: standard and deluxe. Standard rooms have one double bed or two twin beds, a table and chairs, an en suite bathroom with bathtub or shower/tub combination, telephone, TV and in-room safe. These tend to be smaller than deluxe rooms but cost less. The majority of seaside hotels offer both types of room; ask when booking if you’re not sure what you’ll get. A few hotels may offer additional amenities such as minibars, coffee makers or irons & ironing boards. It’s always worth asking when making your reservation just in case any special needs can be accommodated; it never hurts to ask!
Another important point is that many UK seaside hotels don’t include breakfast in their rates. If you want to enjoy a hearty English breakfast each morning, remember to request it when you book so there are no surprises later on. For example, many all-inclusive resorts include meals in their rates. Special meal requests can usually be handled by the resort directly when you make your reservation but sometimes require an extra fee (usually £10 or under). If requested ahead of time and noted on your confirmation slip, all your meals will be included without hassle at check-in. Talk about planning ahead!
The Amenities
In most seaside towns, even small hotels will have private balconies overlooking the ocean; some larger hotels offer guest-only access to hotel swimming pools and tennis courts. But no matter where you stay, it’s important to be prepared for chilly weather when you visit Britain in October. For example, if you’re staying in a town like Brighton or Bournemouth, consider packing your swimsuit along with warm sweaters and jackets for beachside walks. You’ll also want to make sure that any pieces of luggage you bring can withstand rainy conditions. It’s difficult (but not impossible) to find places that do laundry services on short notice; choose luggage made of durable material so that nothing gets ruined in transit. And pack an umbrella, just in case!
The Costs
When it comes to hotels in Britain, one of its most attractive features is also one of its most elusive: low prices. If you plan carefully, you can stretch your hotel budget even further. It’s possible to find deals on rooms in every region throughout Great Britain. When booking a seaside hotel from sites like Expedia, it may be worth paying extra for an ocean view—those room rates are usually lower than those facing inland anyway. Another money-saving tip: Booking last-minute stays can yield serious savings.
The Food
Some dishes are clearly different from what you’d find in an American hotel—or, for that matter, on most British plates. Curry and chips—curry and french fries—is probably a staple in many seaside hotel restaurants. Bangers and mash (sausages with mashed potatoes) are also very popular and many places serve breakfast all day long. Check out each restaurant’s menu ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect; that way, no one will get surprised when they arrive at dinner!
