I find one of the best ways to stretch our cash is to take a UK staycation. At the end of last month we spent two nights at the Travelodge Edinburgh West End and only paid ?12 a night for our room, purchased during the Travelodge Winter 2011 Sale.

While that Travelodge isn?t going to win any architectural awards, the hotel is in a quiet location, close the city centre, the family rooms are a good size and comfortable and there?s even free wifi in the Bar Cafe. At a money saving price of ?12 a night for the room, it?s a low cost base for a UK short break.

We drove to Edinburgh for our short break, so paid an additional ?3 a night to park at the hotel. However you could walk to the hotel from Haymarket Station in around 15 minutes, so could use the train if you found a cheap ticket.

You can pay for a Travelodge breakfast buffet which costs ?7.56 per adult, kids eat free with an paying adult. We usually take some food with us and prepare our breakfast in the room to save more.

The hotel is situated on the Water of Leith, so you can take a riverside walk.? The Scottish Galleries of Modern Art (free to enter) are a five minute walk from the hotel. On the Sunday we ate lunch at Jimmy Chungs Chinese Buffet for ?7 each.

I think that I?ve illustrated that you can enjoy a UK staycation without breaking the bank, if you look out for special offer/sales and travel off peak.
