Question

There are many kinds of places for you to stay in Britain if you visit there. Whatever your plan is, the choice — from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle — is all part of fun.

Hostels(招待所)

Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities(設(shè)備) and prices vary, especially in rural(偏遠(yuǎn)的) areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse(臨時(shí)住房) while others are remarkably comfortable — almost like cheap hotels.

Youth hotels

Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.

B&Bs

The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution(機(jī)構(gòu)). Sometimes you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.

In country areas your B&B might be in a village or a farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs(郊區(qū)).

Pubs & Inns(小酒館)

As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.

Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.
