Heritage Places to Stay

 As the UK has such a diverse and unique history, you’ll find that many of the accommodation options in Britain have stories of their own, from being former court houses to the homes of princesses – book the perfect accommodation for you today.  

Live like royalty 

Ever wondered why some hotels have Royal in their names? Well, the prefix is added once a member of the royal family has stayed there! If it’s good enough for the royals, it is more than good enough for us! For a luxury stay, with fascinating heritage, why not take a look at an accommodation with royal connections? There are several along the coast that hosted royalty following the boom of seaside resorts in the Victorian era, including one B&B in Sidmouth, that was once the home of Queen Victoria herself when she was a child!  

Surround yourself with celebs 

For the chance to rub shoulders with a celeb, try choosing somewhere remote, like the accommodation run by Soho House or choose somewhere close to a known live music venue. Iconic rock stars like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and others have stayed in hotels all over the country and you can often find plaques and memorabilia commemorating their visit. Alternatively, you could stay somewhere that inspired a celebrity, like the world famous hotel that stands on Burgh Island in Devon. The only building on the island, the art deco style hotel inspired Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.  

A Heritage home from home  

Many people prefer a self catering break when on holiday purely because it gives you extra flexibility that you don’t always get when staying in a hotel. Many heritage organisations have a number of cottages and other self catering apartments within historic buildings that are available to rent as holiday homes – you could for instance book a room in an actual castle or live in a thatched cottage surrounded by cobbled streets!
