First question you might have, is why the UK? Why choose that little Island on the top of the continent for a trip to Europe? Is it a taste of Europe in a English speaking country? Is it feeling the old charm of Europe without feeling that you are that far from home?

The first suggestion is stay out of London. Doing this you will not only get the chance to save money but also get to know a charming part of UK that you won’t find on traveler’s guides. Pick an old-style bed and breakfast, rustic cottage or a luxury log cabin and you will save a lot of money over a swanky London hotel.

If you have a credit card check out their mileage programs, you can have a great surprise by finding out that a flight ticket waiting for you. If you are planning a break to the UK that is less than three months in duration all you will need is a passport so make sure that your passport is up to date.

Avoid the summer season! Anywhere in the world that you travel will be lot more crowded and expensive during the summer. Avoiding it you can find something cheap as $235 for 5 days between end of March and beginning of April.

In the areas immediate to the London you won’t find anything cheaper than $470 – $625 for a week. Regular rates in the area around London is between $780-$1,100 per week. An ideal rural holiday location with the convenience of being close to London is Hampshire.

Hampshire is an hour and a half from London. So you can always find public transportation and get there – if public transport isn’t your thing you could always rent a car to go to London. Having your own car will allow you to get the chance to know the rural side of UK and be just a step away from London.

Have fun and enjoy yourself with cheap UK holidays!
