Save on stays with Best Western across Devon and beyond
If you are planning a weekend escape from Devon or looking for a restful stopover on a longer road trip, Best Western Hotels Great Britain often has deals that help your pound stretch further. Whether you want a cosy coastal bolt hole, a family-friendly hotel near attractions, or a quick city break, a little timing and a few smart tricks can get you more value for less. Here we look at how to spot offers, whether healthcare workers get a special rate, and practical ways families can save on their next break.
Can you get Best Western Hotels Great Britain discount?
Short answer, yes sometimes. Best Western runs a few standard offers throughout the year such as 2 for 1 midweek breaks, early booking promotions, and seasonal sales. They also advertise package deals that include breakfast or parking to make the total price cheaper than booking extras separately. As for specific discounts for health service staff, Best Western UK occasionally promotes targeted offers for key workers, but these are not always available across every property. My advice is to check the Best Western 2for1 page and sign up for their newsletter so you see staff or health service community offers as soon as they appear. You can also phone individual hotels in Devon, because some properties run their own deals or will honour an NHS or staff rate on request.
How to save with Best Western
Here are practical ways that actually work rather than theoretical hints.
- Sign up for the newsletter and rewards club. Best Western Rewards can give you points per stay that turn into free nights or discounts. It stacks up over multiple breaks.
- Use comparison and cashback sites. Search price comparison engines and cashback portals before booking. That little percentage back can add up when you travel every few months.
- Book flexible dates and look for midweek stays. Weekday rates are often much lower than Friday or Saturday nights. If you can shift a trip by a day you might see significant savings.
Saving money with Best Western – tips tailored to Devon families
If you live in Devon you have an advantage. Short drives mean less on travel and more on experiences. Try booking short local breaks rather than long haul. A two night break in Exeter or Torquay can feel indulgent but cost a fraction of an overseas trip. Also, look for family rooms or hotels offering free stays for under-twelves. It is worth calling the hotel directly. You might find complimentary parking or discounted local attraction tickets that are not obvious online.
Similar hotel brands to keep on your radar
For more options and to compare savings, it pays to look at other hotel chains. Both Best Western and Hotels.com UK often run seasonal promotions that can benefit NHS staff and families. Checking a couple of sources helps you spot the best published rate and any targeted key worker discounts. These chains sometimes match or better each other when demand is quiet, so you can pick the one that fits your plans and budget.
How to make the best savings overall
Here is the thing. Sales and codes come and go, so staying informed matters. Set alerts on price comparison sites, follow hotel chains on social media, and subscribe to This is Devon for curated deals aimed at local readers. Combine a hotel offer with a supermarket club discount or a cheap ferry crossing and suddenly a family stay becomes an affordable treat. You know what? A little planning goes a long way.
More practical tips that actually work
Try these quick wins when booking:
- Check for package inclusions such as free breakfast. Sometimes a slightly higher room rate that includes food is cheaper than a lower rate with extras added later.
- Ask about concessionary rates. If you work for the health service mention it when you book. Not every hotel will advertise a staff discount but some will help if they can.
- Look for local promo codes or council tourism offers. Devon attractions and parking discounts can be paired with hotel deals to reduce total cost.
