To get the best offers, sometimes you've got to be flexible and discover the last minute hotel deals in the UK. Hotels regularly have what's called "distressed inventory" meaning the rooms that haven't sold. With empty rooms, it's important for hotels to fill them, so if there's only a few days or weeks to go, they may discount the room rates to get booked and bring in the revenue. When we live so close to many of these hotels in the UK, this can be an ideal opportunity to grab a bargain stay. So whether you're after a relaxing rest on the coast, or fancy a city break in Bristol, take a look at what's on offer.
Booking at the last minute can get you some fantastic deals, and if you're flexible on where you travel, you can have even more options. How about discovering somewhere you haven't thought about? Here are a few of our top last minute destinations in the UK.
For some great last minute hotel deals, check out London. With so many hotels on offer, ranging from cheap and cheerful chains like Travelodge and Holiday Inn Express, to luxury stays like The Corinthia and Hotel 41, there's so much to choose from, but that also means there are often plenty of rooms going empty. There are plenty of cool and quirky London hotels too, like the Sunborn Yacht or the St Christopher's Inn Village which offers budget friendly capsule style accommodation.
Manchester is a great city to explore, from the shopping to the museums. There's plenty of great accommodation in the city, and dotted around the outskirts too. Head to Salford Quays for a show at the Lowry or stay in the city to enjoy the city's buzzing nightlife.
For lots of history and culture, we love last minute hotels in Edinburgh. With castles and an underground city, there is so much to learn and after an exciting day of sightseeing, you've got your pick of plenty of bars, restaurants and entertainment too.
The Lake District is one of our favourite places to stay.
Head to the far corners of England and you'll find beautiful scenery, and Cornwall is no different. Most popular in the summer months when visitors can enjoy the sun, sand and sea, Cornwall is home to over 300 beaches, perfect for those who love to spend time by the coast.
