For good quality hotel breaks in the UK the Hotel Connexions site is a recommended place to look.
You will find a big selection of deals on the site and here are the main things you need to know.
How to Book or Enquire
There are actually a few different ways to get started on finding the best Hotel Connexions UK deals for you.
The most obvious one is to simply choose the town you plan on going to from the drop down list and then putting in the date of the trip.
You can then check availability and book directly. If that doesn’t suit then there is also a reservations centre number, the option to ask for an operator to get back to you and a map of the UK you can click on.
Online Magazine
If you register on the HotelConnexions site then you get the quarterly Explore sent to you.
It promises big, exclusive discounts and you get it by PDF online or posted out to you.
If you decide to become a member then this is free to do, although there is also the following option to consider.
Signature Club
This is the site’s VIP membership option and it costs £29.95 a year at the time of writing.
For that you get a room upgrade or a bottle of wine in every stay.
You also get a free third night on a two night stay once during the year[1].
If you are likely to be a regular user of the site’s hotels then this could turn out to be a good deal for you.

Golf Breaks
If golf is your thing then you can skip straight to the section of the site that interests you by clicking on the Golf tab at the top of the home page.
Here you will be directed to a section detailing some of the best hotels for golfing trips.
These include Hotel Connexions Edinburgh, Cheshire and Ayrshire deals at the time of writing and are all hotels which are located right next to courses.
Spa Breaks
Anyone who prefers a relaxing holiday and a bit of a good old pampering should look at the Hotel Connexions spa deals instead.
Just like the golf deals, you can access these by clicking on the appropriate tab at the top of the screen.
At the time of writing this part of the site offered some very tempting looking breaks.
Buxton, Loch Lomond, Donegal and County Durham are among the places offering this very special kind of break.
