There is a "vast disparity" among UK adults when it comes to taking a holiday this year, new research has found. While many young people are keen to prioritise spending the night in the wholesale bedding of a luxury hotel, Britons with families are finding it more of a struggle to go away, according to Tesco Bank.

Proposals for a new 80-room hotel in Cold Norton are to be heard by local authority members in the next week, it has been reported. According to the Chelmsford Weekly News, planning officers are urging the officials to give the go-ahead to the Three Rivers Golf and Country Club - which could see the resort soon moving to place an order for white bed linen.

Councillors in Liverpool are to decide whether plans for three new hotels in the city should be given the go-ahead, it has been reported.

Many British travellers are becoming more demanding when they jet off on holiday, it has been claimed. According to one expert, some are confident about making complaints regarding white bed linen, the quality of the food or their accommodation in general. As a result, Mike Whiting, managing director at HolidayExtras. com, advised people to research their break before packing their bags.

Britons have been offered some tips that could see them enjoying a bedroom as luxurious as that in a hotel. Channel 5's Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi advised people to keep their white bed linen looking beautiful, by pressing the top sheet or duvet cover if they do not have time to iron everything.

Many Britons will admit to owning a much-loved toy when they were young that they could not sleep without. However, it has been reported that a third of UK adults still take a teddy with them when they snuggle under white bed linen for the night. According to the study by hotel chain Travelodge, many people said they took a cuddly companion to bed as it was comforting.

The prime minister has been urged by one sector commentator to put his admiration for the UK's tourism industry into action in order to help it thrive. While holiday accommodation owners in the UK may do their best to invest in the best possible hotel supplies and restaurant supplies for their premises, they may feel that they are held back by red tape.

Former Dragon's Den panellist Rachel Elnaugh believes there is a lot of scope for her current home to be turned into a bed and breakfast guesthouse once a buyer takes it off the market. The 45-year-old told The Daily Mail that her £1 million home in Bakewell is ripe for such a makeover. However, the new owners would have to buy new bed linen, tablecloths and other materials to make the house fit-for-purpose.

TV style experts Justin Ryan and Colin McAllister were on-hand to provide a fantastic makeover for a Bewdley bed and breakfast. The Kidderminster Shuttle reports that owner Jenny Paddock managed to win the visit after triumphing in a P & G Professionals competition. Ryan and McAllister had just one day to perform the redesign and replace curtains, linen and wallpaper.

London has been named as a world-class tourism destination, which may be good news for Britons looking to take a domestic break in order to save money this year. While they could expect to indulge in luxury spas supplies or sit down to tablecloths laden with the latest trends in culinary fare, there are also plenty of free activities to keep people busy while holidaying in the capital.
