Manchester named amongst the bargain weekend destinations

There is even more of a reason to hire a car from Car Hire Manchester Airport according to the staff there, after Trip Advisor revealed its cost for a weekend break.

The city of Manchester has been named on a leader board of best bargain destinations by comparison website Trip Advisor, for a weekend break, coming in ninth, with a cost of £200.

Trip Advisor compared the cost of two people having a one-night stay in a four-star hotel in the month of August, with the overall cost figure including a pre-meal cocktail, a meal out and a short taxi ride.

Trip Advisor spokesman James Kay said “For travellers planning a UK break over the upcoming bank holiday weekend, heading north will generally offer the best value for an evening out and overnight stay.”

Sheffield offered the cheapest one-night break among the 20 UK cities surveyed, with Edinburgh judged the place that would set visitors back the most. Sheffield has taken over as best-value city break destination from last year’s number one Nottingham which slid to eighth in this year’s list.
