New UK boutique hotel openings
In preparation for what could be a very busy summer, a host of boutique hotels are opening across the UK.
With international travel currently restricted, many UK residents are planning for a summer staycation, and when it comes to accommodation, they are set for a host of new and interesting options from which to choose, including, a historic, family-run inn in the Cotswolds, and a luxury hotel in a former prison!
