The UK’s top hotels for the best sleep for National
Bed Month
For a good night’s sleep, lay your head in Cheshire
say TripAdvisor travellers
The month of March, officially declared
‘National Bed Month’ by the UK’s Sleep Council, is the perfect time of year to
remember the importance of a good night’s sleep – whether at home or on
holiday. Ahead of National Bed Month,
TripAdvisor reveals the UK’s top 10 hotels where you’re most likely to catch
the best zzz’s - according to TripAdvisor travellers. These properties received
the highest praise from travellers in the ‘sleep quality’ category on
TripAdvisor in the last year*.
Kingsley Lodge in Wilmslow, Cheshire offers the best sleep
quality of any UK hotel, boasting a TripAdvisor sleep quality rating of
4.95 out of five from travellers. However, the West Midlands is arguably the
real star of sleep quality – the region boasts three properties in the top ten.
“A good or bad night’s sleep can really
make a difference to your overall experience of a hotel. These properties have
all been tried and tested by TripAdvisor travellers and pass the all-important
sleep test with flying colours,” commented TripAdvisor spokesperson, Emma Shaw.
