This June's been a bit drizzly in the UK so no one will blame you if you haven't pulled yourself out of bed to see the sunrise recently. However, the team here at Hotels4u think there are some places in the world where missing this natural spectacle is simply unforgivable! That's right - while it may happen every day, there really are some unique dawn and dusk experiences that you must sample in your lifetime. And, if you're lucky enough to be holidaying near one of our sunrise/sunset hotspots this year, that experience could be just around the corner.

From the beautiful countryside to the many historical buildings across this green and pleasant land, there are a number of things the British should be proud of. Such as the fact the some of the most exciting sports in the world were invented in Blighty. Football, rugby and cricket (all invented by the Brits) are not just hugely popular across the globe, they're a staple of life in sporting UK towns and cities. But it's not just the popular games we can claim; we're responsible for some rather more unusual sports that you may not have heard of, such as cheese rolling and haggis hurling (one of Harry Hotel's favourites)!

In addition, we are updating the wording of the retweet message with immediate effect to the following:

I'm entering the @hotels4u_com Reach 5000 #prize draw for the chance to win 1 of 3 accommodation stays in Crete! RT & follow to take part

All valid past and present entries using the previous retweet wording will still be counted and we have updated the terms and conditions which you can view here. The final three prize hotel stays remain the same and we will draw three winners at random from all correct entries once we reach 5000 followers on Twitter.

We also want to take this opportunity to thank our fans and followers. We appreciate your continued support of Hotels4u on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and want to reassure you that we take all feedback and communication from you seriously and we will always endeavour to be completely honest and open in return.

With ‘glamping’ (short for glamorous camping) changing the face of camping as we know it, this summer seems like the perfect time to reject mud-soaked, canvas-covered UK festivals in favour of something a bit more exotic. New festivals are popping up across Europe every year, promising great line-ups without the ubiquitous British rain clouds.  If tangling with guy ropes isn’t for you, why not give one of our top European festival picks a try?
