Try this website: http://www.booking.com I booked several hotels in the UK, Ireland and Scotland for a 3 week trip this fall. You do not have to pay in advance, and the cancellations are more liberal than most. Currently they list over 500 hotels in the area.

When are you going and which airport are you arriving. If you wish to email me (jjwag60@hotmail.com) I will gladly provide some thoughts. I have made many, many trips to the area; business and pleasure.
