Watford hotels

Watford might seem an unlikely destination, but it is not without interest, as are most of Britain's towns and cities when you dig down a little.

Watford's Attractions

Most of the attractions in Watford can be reached on foot if you're based at a Hertfordshire hotel or B&B in the town centre or somewhere on the outskirts. On buses here and elsewhere in the county you can get around cheaply and conveniently using the 'Explorer' ticket, which for just a few pounds allows unlimited travel to adults and children wanting to see attractions such as Hatfield House from their Hertfordshire hotel or guesthouse base. Even if you're travelling alone this innovative transport solution can save you significant cash, especially if you're a regular visitor to the county or head into London on a daily basis.

The real value of Watford and its environs for commuters and travelling executives is that with the local road and rail links, and both Heathrow and Luton airports relatively close by, getting around the country or farther afield is a simple matter. House prices are also more affordable than they are in London, so you'll be able to find some pretty good deals when staying at Hertfordshire hotels or guesthouses in the surrounding area.

Whilst staying at a Hertfordshire hotel in the Watford area be sure to pop along to Watford Museum and Watford Palace Theatre. The Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour is also hugely popular with younger kids, and you can easily get into London from here too.

Hertfordshire is a county rich in glorious scenery and great historical attractions and ancient towns such as St. Albans. Even the more modern, so-called 'New Towns' such as in the greater Stevenage area have their attractions in terms of local amenities and excellent museums, and visitors here will always have plenty of things to pleasantly occupy their time. Choose from a great range of Hertfordshire hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs while you're in this part of southeast England and you'll have a good base for fully exploring the whole area.
