With apartments4you, you won't merely visit the United Kingdom, you will experience
it firsthand - the beauty, history and charm - roaming among the locals.
Instead of a hotel room, spread out in a carefully restored 17th century cottage,
renovated house or former granary nestled in the heart of the beautiful English countryside.
Or make yourself at home in an elegant townhouse tucked away down a cobbled lane in
the heart of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.
Your United Kingdom holidays "resort activity" may be an exploration of Shakespeare's
Stratford-upon-Avon, salmon fishing on the River Tay, sailing on the River Dart or
a stroll down a scenic footpath in and around Smarden. You may choose to pass the
time swapping tall tales with newfound friends over a pint. Or you may choose to immerse
yourself in the architecture of the largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe (York
Minster).
Whatever your passion, your reward from an exciting day's activities will be a retreat
to your one-of-a-kind accommodations, stylishly appointed with all the comforts you'd
expect in a home away from home.

See the UK, taste the world (Edinburgh). After a few days of sampling the local fare,
you may crave a little variety. Enter Scotland's capital city, a gastronomic melting
pot where many countries and cultures are represented, including America, Bangladesh,
France, Hong Kong, India, Italy and Switzerland.
Bacon, eggs and seaweed (Wales). The seafood in Wales is outstanding, which is no
surprise since the Welsh coast is lined with oyster, mussel and scallop beds. But
for a special treat, consider a breakfast with Wales' famous laverbread, made from
laver seaweed.
Make time for tea (York). Shopping and sightseeing in York requires stamina. Luckily
for you there are many strategically located tea rooms and coffee shops that specialize
in afternoon pick-me-ups. For great sweets and ambiance, consider Betty's Cafe Tea
Rooms.

Cheese Rolling (Gloucestershire). Every year, as they have for hundreds of years,
young men and women throw themselves down steep Cooper's Hill in hot pursuit of an
eight-pound wheel of handmade Double Gloucester cheese. Held each May, it's all part
of the Spring Bank Holiday fun.
Play 18, or 36, or...(Wales). The British Open tends to favor Scotland and England,
but Wales is home to more than 200 spectacular courses of its own. Come see why the
2010 Ryder Cup will be held in this region renowned for its magnificent natural beauty.
Explore...
Anne Hathaway's Cottage (Stratford-upon-Avon). Visit the childhood home of Shakespeare's

and the surrounding English cottage garden is a sight to behold. Hours vary by season
with last entry either 4 p.m. or 5 p.m.
Wordsworth's Lakes and Hills (Windermere, Lake District). Discover the daffodils
and rugged scenery that led to much of Wordsworth's poetry, and visit his home and
workplace at Dove Cottage. You can also walk the same hills that inspired writers
and artists from Beatrix Potter to Samuel Coleridge.
York Minster. The largest Gothic cathedral north of the Alps is an architectural masterpiece
accented with stained glass. Explore the remains of previous buildings in the Undercroft,
or take in the view from atop the tower. Open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Cardiff Bay (Wales). The Wales Millennium Center for the arts is a cultural gem at
the heart of this redeveloped area. Come for the opera, ballet or stage musicals,
or one of the bay's many fine restaurants.
