subject: Apartment Rentals Offer A Homely Way To Take A Break [print this page] When staying away from home in a UK city, whether for business or pleasure, many people prefer to look for apartment rentals rather than hotels.
Apartment rentals offer a different getaway experience; staying in an apartment is often more akin to a home-away-from-home experience because it affords you the anonymity and privacy not always found in a hotel, where a check-in desk and the presence of other guests can make you feel very much like you are on someone else's territory.
Most apartments have a minimum stay requirement, usually two or three nights, and rates per night are generally lower the more nights you book in a row. Prices vary depending on location - both location of the actual city in the UK, and the location of the apartment you've chosen within a certain city.
Expect to pay from around 160 GBP upwards for two nights' usage of a decent one-bedroom city-centre apartment outside of London without any discount. As with most travel and accommodation, It is possible to get cheaper rates if you go for a last-minute deal, but there are no guarantees. Also, be sure to investigate an apartment's occupancy capacity. Bedroom quantity doesn't necessarily indicate how many people the accommodation will sleep; sofa beds are often available for those that are happy to sleep on them.
All UK cities have apartments available for short and long stays, but there are more in the highly popular destinations, such as Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, York, Manchester and London.
Why not have a relaxing city break in a self-catering apartment, and feel less like a tourist for a change? Apartment rentals offer all the mod cons, and you will feel at home away from home. You could take in a weekend in York for example, and enjoy the historic buildings and huge Minster at the heart of the city, and experience the eclectic shopping scene which is a mix of high street favourites and specialist independents, sample some of the many excellent pubs and then eat in the restaurant quarter, retiring later to a cosy apartment which is all yours for the weekend.
Or if you haven't already, why not try a city break in Glasgow, one of the most cultured and exciting cities in the UK? There's something for everyone in Glasgow, with every kind of restaurant cuisine, great bars and clubs, a vibrant music scene as well as opera, ballet and classical music delights from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the National Youth Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
