Different experience, but nice. Be aware that animals may enter, and the river is very close by, so maybe not so good for people who needs complete silence to sleep. Staff very helpful and nice! ##### Hilde Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Gantry London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Curio-Collection-By-Hilton-London.h48879811.Hotel-Information) > > [Dickwella Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batigama-Hotels-Dickwella-Resort-And-Spa.h1583293.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Yala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palatupana-Hotels-Jetwing-Yala.h7686053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Walkhampton Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yelverton-Hotels-The-Walkhampton-Inn.h38943586.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Hotels.d6084496.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Stoke-on-Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d5701-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Titanic Deluxe Lara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Titanic-Beach-Lara-All-Inclusive.h1162030.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Blackrock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackrock-Hotels.d6343099.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kensington-London-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-n6054501-0-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chaarya Resort & Spa by Chandrika](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Chaarya-Resort-Spa-By-Chandrika.h7855822.Hotel-Information) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Gloucester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gloucester-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d55727--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels.d179900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel La Rovere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-La-Rovere.h2527619.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Manchester Deansgate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Qbic-Hotel-Manchester.h48980661.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Bedlington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bedlington-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d6341322--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Citrus Hikkaduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hikkaduwa-Hotels-Citrus-Hikkaduwa.h2222408.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Brugge Centrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruges-Hotels-Novotel-Brugge-Centrum.h16264.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Whitehall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitehall-Hotels.0-l6251524-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sea World Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mirissa-Hotels-Sea-World-Boutique-Hotel.h14737453.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel 77 Seventy-Seven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-77-Seventy-Seven.h68528419.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Wild Yala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palatupana-Hotels-Cinnamon-Wild-Yala.h4031774.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Yundum (BJL) to Lungi (FNA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bjl/fna/banjul-to-freetown) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Greven (FMO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/fmo/london-to-munster) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to La Romana (LRM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/lrm/london-to-la-romana) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/bfs/glasgow-to-belfast) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Bora Bora (BOB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bob/london-to-bora-bora) ### Packages > [Tiete Plaza Shoping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiete-Plaza-Shoping-Pirituba.d553248621562483718.Attraction) > > [Monolithi Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monolithi-Beach-Epirus.d553248635976063133.Attraction) > > [Romanian Black Sea Coast Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Romanian-Black-Sea-Coast.d6057285.Holidays-City-Breaks)
