Many people looking to enjoy a well-earned break with a holiday will often decide to look towards hotter, more exotic destinations - with the Mediterranean particularly popular. As a result of holidaymakers deciding to jet off abroad for a good time, a significant number of UK destinations go under the radar - often criminally overlooked.

Recognising that there are a huge number of fantastic holiday destinations within the UK, Expedia - like easyJet - offers a range of wonderful hotels that could make a UK-based holiday even more memorable.

Like easyjet, flight tickets and car hire can also be booked through Expedia - making it a great choice for holidaymakers looking to use just one booking service.

But which are the best UK-based hotels featured on the website?

London - The Grange St. Paul's Hotel: Located in an area of London blessed with a number of historic landmarks, The Grange St. Paul's Hotel is one of the best five-star hotels offered by Expedia.

With the spectacular St. Paul's Cathedral, the Globe Theatre - originally built by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare's playing company - and the more contemporary Museum of London all situated in close proximity, a stay at this hotel will ensure that there is no shortage of excitement to be had.

The luxurious rooms boast LCD TVs, separate bathtubs and showers, and free wireless Internet access - for those desperate to remain in the loop. With three restaurants to choose from, all tastes are catered for at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel.

Catering for those who like to take time out to relax, the hotel also contains an indoor pool, a full-service spa, as well as a range of casual bars and lounges - a great way to conclude a day of exploration round the streets of London.

A popular hotel, it is best to ensure bookings are made earlier.

A four-star hotel - with many more across the UK - it also offers a range of recreational facilities, such as a playroom, nine-hole golf course and a surf school, ensuring that there's plenty to keep the kids occupied. The surf school offers group surf lessons - allowing Mum and Dad the opportunity to indulge their curiosity - as well as rock-pool exploration trips.

For those worried about excursions away from the hotel grounds, the world's largest greenhouse, the Eden Project is also located just 14 miles away, whilst Newquay's picturesque harbour, also situated nearby, is the perfect place to enjoy an ice cream - whilst taking in the delightful sea views.

With rooms - which can be booked via Expedia - that contain flat-screen TVs, access to satellite channels and complimentary bottled water and bathrobes, the Headland Hotel goes just that little bit further to ensure any stay is a memorable one.
