Waterside hotels
There's nothing like being woken up by the sound water gently lapping outside your hotel window, and you don't always need to be beside the sea to experience it, with any number of beautiful UK waterside hotels to choose from, most of them with marvellous views to match – over some of the country's most enticing lakes, rivers and harbours. If you're really lucky, you'll get your own private balcony to kick back on and watch the world go by. Our waterside hotels UK collection contains a fine array of hotels by water, from romantic lochside retreats in Scotland to serene lakefront boltholes in England and laid-back harbourside hotels in Wales. Tip: it's worth paying that little bit extra to bag yourself a room with a view.
