Great British Boutique Hotels


There are some times in life when you just have to treat yourself and one of the nicest ways is an all out, no expense spared trip to one of the UKs nicest hotels. So, where should you go? We've picked out some of the coolest UK hotels for you to pack your bags and take a trip to visit.

The boutique hotel is a glam place to stay, that's often a little quirky and can be a passport to a few days of cool. From local art to locally sourced menus, this list shows some of the hotels that make Britain a great place to visit - many of which appear on deal of the day sites.

Oak House No.1

For those of us who see the Cotswolds as a bit of a fuddy duddy place for walks and other more middle aged activities, this hotel goes completely against that perception. It's a B&B full of modern art, with great food and a quirky Victorian take. The re-designed home is one with precious trinkets from travels throughout the world and has a great mix of the traditional and the contemporary. Owned by celebrated art designer Gary Kennedy, it's a great place to go all cool Britannia. Keep an eye out for a Wowcher and save on a trip.

Randy Pike

Keeping the whole cool thing in the country up is Randy Pike in the Lake District. This former hunting lodge has been turned into something spectacular and mixes former glories with something that bit chicer. It's also in one of the most beautiful areas of all of the UK and is a luxurious stop for those looking for a change of pace. Rest, relax and repair being the motto.

Blythsworth Square, Glasgow

Once European City of Culture , Glasgow is a city renewed and this hotel greatly reflects that. It's a beautiful refurbished townhouse with a square just outside its door. The townhouse may look small but has over 100 spacious rooms, as well as a 5 star spa for those interested in the finer and more relaxing things in life. There's also a screening room for movie lovers and a 35 metre Salon for a tipple. It's also one of the coolest places to stay in the city and take in some Scottish delights.

Hotel Tresanton, Cornwall

This elegant boutique hotel in Cornwall is family run and one of those places that comes with the classic, with a slight quirk. The hotel has the navy and white striped bedspreads and focuses on the local area. Enjoy Cornish cream teas and also take some time to take a swim in the Pontoon if you're hardy enough. This hotel has all the values of old, yet manages to create that cool feel we so love and desire.

A trip to Cornwall also heralds the beauty of the area and allows you access to some of the most beautiful areas of Britain.

Gunton Arms, Norfolk

Of course, any hotel that is owned by Lucian Freud's art dealer is going to be pretty stylish and as you'd expect the Gunton arms is. This traditional 8 bedroom pub is set in an extensive park in North Norfolk.

The hotel was only opened in 2011 and is one of the best places for great food in the local area. All ingredients are local and there of course is venison from the local deer park on the menu . The bedrooms and interior are beautiful - taking from the old world pub feel and adding a twist.

The ingredient led food of the Gunton Arms and its focus on seafood, venison and shellfish make it an inspiring place to stay and enjoy a weekend in.

These hotels are among the coolest and most enjoyable to stay in, in Britain. Wowcher.co.uk often throws up the odd surprise in the boutique hotel area - so keep a close eye and you may soon be enjoying a cool, weekend away.
