Britannia Hotels UK

• Sea views
• Live entertainment
• Health club with a pool

The Grand Burstin Hotel has a scenic setting overlooking Folkestone’s harbour. As such, you’re going to want to splash out the extra (and by splash out, we mean a fiver or tenner) for a sea-view room.

This Britannia hotel’s got all the hallmarks of an affordable and fun seaside stay. You’ve got everything you need – from two restaurants and bars, to a health and leisure club. We’ll start with the restaurants. One serves a three-course menu, while the other’s a buffet affair with views over Folkestone harbour. There’s a carvery option, of course, too. Then the bar and ballroom are where the entertainment’s at. Bands, bingo, line dancing and late-night discos are all on the agenda.

And, when you want to unwind, there’s a health and leisure club for that. Guests have full access to the Spindles Folkestone Health and Leisure Club (some charges might apply), where you’ve got a heated pool, sauna and gym.

The Adelphi Hotel’s one of the most iconic buildings in Liverpool. The hotel opened in 1862 and survived World War II unscathed. Over the years, it’s hosted famous guests like Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan and Judy Garland. Now, it’s been given Grade II listed status.

You’ll still see Edwardian features throughout, including grand sweeping staircases. But it’s been given modern touch-ups, too. There are two restaurants – one dealing in buffet breakfasts, lunch and dinner, and another French place with its own cocktail bar. And not one, but three bars keep punters watered. The American Bar’s a top spot for a cheeky nightcap before bed, while Wave Bar is the hotel’s entertainment hub, with live musicians, quiz nights, karaoke and sport screenings.

All this is just a couple of minutes’ walk from Liverpool Lime Street Train Station. It’s a 10-minute stroll over to the iconic Cavern Club for live music and a boogie. Or 20 minutes’ walk will get you to the Royal Albert Dock for the Beatles museum and the Tate.
