Here we help with ways to cut your costs. 　　AVOID BIG EVENTS　Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival(19, Oct. )cost￡169. 15 at Booking. com. A week later, the same room cost￡118. 15. 　　If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid─or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time─check out sites such as Whatsonwhen. com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. 　　STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION　If travelling to your destination by train, you may want to find a base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. 　　Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.

A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was￡75. 75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just￡62. 95. 　　LOOK AFTER YOURSELF　Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events.
