Accommodation In Surrey
30th September 2008
Situated close to London and the M25, Surrey is the ideal destination for a weekend or mid-week break. Within easy reach of Gatwick and Heathrow, Surrey's bed and breakfasts provide convenient, comfortable accommodation combined with a warm welcome. Rural bed and breakfasts are perfect for visitors wanting to explore the countryside and with plenty of home cooking, country pubs and tea rooms, you will have everything you need.
A rather unusual and recommended accommodation option is the Tekels Park Vegetarian Guest House which, as the name suggests, offers wholesome vegetarian food. The guest house has 22 bedrooms with TV and tea/coffee facilities starting at £48 per room. They also have various meetings rooms and can offer full day or residential courses. The guest house has a residents' lounge with colour TV and a video/DVD player. Tekels Park is a leisurely 15 minute walk from Camberley town centre, which has frequent train services to London (Waterloo) and to Reading for connections to the South West.
Self-catering is often the best option for families and larger groups and you will find a huge variety of self-catering opportunities around Surrey. From modern apartments in the town centre to quaint cottages in the country, Surrey has it all. From some properties, you will have access to foot and bridle paths which will take you direct into the heart of rural Surrey. This kind of accommodation is, therefore, especially well-suited for visitors who like walking, horse-riding, cycling or fishing. Businessmen, theatre goers or shoppers would probably prefer to be based in town and flats and self-contained apartments offer the perfect base for social tourists.
For those who really want to get away from it all, camping and caravanning is another alternative to explore the great outdoors. There are numerous campsites in which you can stay for a night or a week under the stars. Many are open all year and vary from fields with some shelter through to locations with extensive facilities. Hikers can take advantage of dormitory style hostels in the south of the country managed by the Youth Hostel Association.
