United Kingdom attractions include the bustling metropolis of London, the mysteries of Stonehenge, the mountains of Wales, the renowned university towns of Oxford and Cambridge, the Georgian architecture of Bath and the famous Edinburgh Castle. The UK is also home to unusual hotels.
The Rua Reidh Lighthouse is one of the United Kingdom's most isolated hotel options, situated on Scotland's northwestern coast, in a lighthouse built in 1910. Choose from nine rooms, or opt to rent the entire lighthouse (the minimum stay is two nights for this latter option). The Rua Reidh Lighthouse is popular among hikers, and is surrounded by both mountain and coastal habitats. As of May 2010, a double room with private bath on the first floor costs £42 per night. For the months of July and August, reservations should be made far in advance.

Each of the 19 rooms in the Hotel Pelirocco has a pop subculture theme, with a decidedly saucy bent. For instance, the Betty Page room, dedicated to the cult 1950s star, features a leopard print bed with handcuffs attached. The Ophelia Fancy Upper Room is named after a famous lingerie brand. The hotel hosts a karaoke bar. As of May 2010, rooms range in price from £50 to £250. Rooms are most expensive on the weekends (when there is a two-night minimum stay) and holidays. To ensure that you'll get the theme room of your choice, reservations should be made well in advance.

The Pavilion Hotel is a 30-room establishment. Each room is decorated according to an individual quirky theme. The Honky Tonk Afro room is decked out in 1970s styles, while the Casablanca Nights room will remind you of the classic film starring Humphrey Bogart. According to the hotel's website, The Pavilion Hotel is the brainchild of a former fashion model who, bored with his experience of staying in dull hotels all over the world, decided to fulfill his wildest dreams by opening his own establishment in the English capital. Rooms range in price from £60 to £130 (as of May 2010.) Given the hotel's popularity, reservations should be made far in advance of your stay.
