World's 3 Star Locations : Edinburgh, Manchester and Newcastle

Guys, it's a great pleasure being with us. If you ask me about world's 3 stars locations, my answer could be Edinburgh, Manchester and Newcastle. We just go one by one for more information about the important part existing in this review. First, we moved towards Edinburgh. Do you have any guess about Edinburgh? No... just remember the word SCOTCH WHISKEY. Yes, it is the Home Land of Scotch Whiskey. If you are interested in scotch whiskey, it's your right to know some popular categories like Blended Scotch Whiskey, Lowland Malt Whiskey, Speyside Malt Whiskey, Highland Malt Whiskey and Islay Malt Whiskey. This city is 72 kms away from the west. It is the second largest and the capital city of Scotland. There are so many amazing things kept in front of you. If you are on the visit of Edinburgh, do not miss to visit the areas like old town, new town and south side of Edinburgh and also, the most important part of Edinburgh city i.e.Museum of Scotland, the Museum of Edinburgh, the Museum of Childhood and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. For your Edinburgh accommodation, you can choose City Central Area (coz, availability of cheapest rate hotels). Plan your tour at the December weekends. Due to my short span of stay, I could not see so many great and amazing things of Edinburgh like new years eve festival known as Hogmanay Comedy festival (I heard that, around 1,00,000 people gathered on New Year's Eve in Edinburgh's Princes Street, with the backdrop of the castle and to be entertained by Scottish pop stars), arts festival, St. Andrew's world famous golf course,many things are missed out.

Further, I moved towards Manchester, and searching for the cheapest rate manchester accommodation (I am being a habitual about all these lowest rate hotels). During my visit, I met good places like Manchester cathedral, People's history museum, Imperial War Museum at North, the of Science and Industry. As a artistic heart, I enjoy my each and every moment with Manchester Art Gallery. This gallery designed by Sir Charles Barry and it has been a landmark since 1882. You can see here the greatest paintings collection of Madox Brown and Holman Hunt.

Now, just move little bit towards Newcastle. It is a large city of Tyne and Wear This city is located on the north bank of the river. Like Edinburgh and Manchester, you can see here so many amazing places like Hancock Museum,Laing Art Gallery, Seven Stories (Children's Museum). Among the above beautiful places, I have impressed about Seven Stories. It is a building dedicated for creative writing for children's or children's literature (Seven Stores : This building takes its name from the theory that there are only SEVEN BASIC PLOTS in literature)in the UK and established in the Valley. I stayed in one of the lowest rate range of newcastle hotels, the "Copthrone Newcastle Hotel". It has excellent location in Newcastle. Lovely looking hotel from the front, and free parking in the adjoining multi storey car park. Also rooms were what you would expect for a business hotel. Including everything, the hotel did exactly what we needed, "a central location with sensible comfort". So guys, plan accordingly to visit at world's 3 star locations.

Enjoy in Cheapest Rate at UK !!!

From so many days I have planned to visit Britain and last summer my dreams come true with my nearest friend. Our target is to visit main & most popular cities and destination belonging to London, Manchester and Birmingham.

We are searching for cheapest hotel in london - my friend suggested for BAKER STREET lastly after huge discussion we decided to stay at cheapest one - BARBICAN.

LONDON, our first destination. We already decided to visit London's most famous tourist attraction, "MADAME TAUSSADS". We egger to visit at MADAME TAUSSADS MUSEUM,coz our favorite Hero BIG-B (Amitabh Bacchan), KING KHAN (Shahrukh Khan) and great INDIAN LADY DIANA - actress Aishwarya Rai-Bacchan residing there for long long time. I proud to see all big legends in front of me "LIVE"...thanks to MADAME TAUSSADS's artist !!!

Further we moved towards Royal Botanic Garden. A great garden and place to visit all year round, but particularly in the Spring, when it's flowerbeds are in full effect. One tip is to go in early January and take your Christmas tree there for recycling - they let you into the park for free. If you like parks, flowers and plants from around the world this place is an absolute must. Truly a great place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of London. The tropical glass Palm House building should not be missed. Take a picnic on a sunny day and enjoy a peaceful stroll through the woodland area or formal flower beds and fountains. However, this garden also quieter and more magical in winter when you can go and warm up in the great Victorian glass houses and see the incongruous sight of bananas growing in west London. So, all of you requested, please do not miss to see this heaven on the land.
We got one more cheapest hotel in Manchester (Liverpool Street Salford Manchester M5 4, Manchester). It was Our second destination. Manchester is a great city that doesn't all get the credit it deserves. There are NO tourists here, and few Americans, if any, but it's really nice to visit. It's really different from London. The nightlife here is amazing. There are so many cool clubs and bars. If you're in the UK, visit this city! This city is great and the best place in the north of England. It is drastically different than tourist-filled London. The shopping in Manchester is great (check out the Arndale or the Trafford Centre). There are some great places to eat, too. Try Panama Hatty's (next to the post office off of Market Street)-it is a little bit pricey, but well worth it. Croma (Clarence Street, near the Town Hall) is great and cheap (try the sticky toffee pudding!). Transportation, by bus,train,taxi and tram was excellent. For a major Industrial City it was clean, lots to do and see. Many great restaurants.

We heard about MAILBOX and just thought that how it looks like? So, we moved towards MAILBOX. This is Britain’s biggest mixed use building and it owes its name to the fact that it was built on the former site of Birmingham’s main postal sorting office. It offers a variety of shops and restaurants as well as leisure facilities, residential and office space and two hotels! We never seen before the fashion choices on offer include such famous designer brands as DKNY, Emporio Armani, and Hugo Boss, as well as such local boutiques as Ronit Zilka, Thomas Pink, and Tim Little. The Mailbox provides an excellent brake from the trials of City Centre shopping and it is well worth breaking for lunch here if you have the money. The restaurants in the Mailbox, we had lunch in the Noodle Bar which was pretty. At last day of our tour we are in the one more cheapest hotel in birmingham - Ramada.
Ramada Hotel & Resort Birmingham has 3 star accommodation we stayed in. It is near Sutton Coldfield. The accommodation is at Penns Lane, Walmley, Sutton Coldfield W convenient to the Sutton Coldfield area. Our tour of 4 days were successful only because of cheapest rates. We save a lot, spend more on shopping and enjoyed more during this UK tour. If you are plan to visit... I just suggest you please choose all these cheapest hotels in Britain for great experience.
