Rate
The rate published is per room,
per night on a bed and breakfast
basis, except where indicated.
The percentage discount quoted
has already been deducted from
the hotel’s full, standard tariff.
The discounted rate quoted
may be fixed throughout the
promotion period or may vary,
depending on date, days or room
type. Breakfast may be either full
or continental style, dependent
on the individual hotel.
Single rooms
Where indicated, a hotel may also
offer a single room rate.
Exclusions
This offer may not be available
at individual hotels on certain

holiday periods, such as bank

Hotel classification

Many participating hotels have
been inspected by a relevant

classification as a number of
‘stars’ or ‘diamonds’. Information
on what standards can be
expected from a hotel for the
classification and merit grade
can be obtained from the

motoring organisations or
commercial organisations. Some
hotels are independent or self

If you want to stay warm
wear a fleece full of holes.
Men’s Altitude Blue
The more air a fabric traps, the more efficiently it insulates. Rohan’s Microgrid fleece fabric works far harder than a
normal fleece because it traps more air, preventing the loss of your body’s warmth. A less dense fabric also means better
packability, more effective wicking and a faster drying time. The result is our best-selling, most versatile lightweight fleece,
the Microgrid Stowaway Zip. It’s superb as a classic mid-layer for British hillwalking, or ideal for the ‘everyday.’ It has an
unbeatable warmth to weight ratio and a gentle, soft-touch to the fabric. Technology disguised as clothing.
