$10/Night at Self-Catering Hostels Across UK
Rambling in Britain this summer? You’ll want to check out the 300-plus houses, cottages, camping barns and bunkhouses across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in the Independent Hostels UK network (IHUK)—rates start at £7/$10 per person per night. Most provide self-catering facilities and are suitable for singles, couples and groups. Check online or buy a guide to travel with for £4.95/$7.25.
This is a great way to travel. I did this a few years ago and it makes a UK trip affordable as well as the chance of meeting some really interesting people on the way. Self-catering accommodation (available from http://www.visitdevonandcornwall.com) allows you to meet locals and really interact with the community as a whole. Good luck if you are planning a UK Hostel trip.
