    Hotel search in the UK

    The whole family (10 of us) is looking to book a short break for next year. My Grandma cant fly so we are sticking to the UK, but price is a distant second to quality & amenities.

    I have searched on Google, but can only find sites that just list 100s of hotels at a time by general location...which is wholely useless unless i want to flick through them one by one checking them out.

    Is there a decent site that allows you to select must haves for the hotel (golf, tennis, 5 star, price range) and then filter by them?

    Cheers guys

    I'd say this is one of those cases where human help is better than the internet, why not go to a travel agent specialising in uk breaks. You can always check the prices out online after you've narrowed down the search

    www.booking.com

    Enter England and no dates yet as the search terms, and then eventually you get to a filter option by number of stars etc. If you have some idea of where in UK you want to go, it will restrict thesearch accordingly.
