Short & Weekend Breaks for Families in the UK
You don’t always have to travel abroad for a memorable family holiday. Pack your bags and hop in the car (or board the train) and discover what the UK has to offer. Going on a UK family break means you won’t have to endure the stresses of getting the whole gang ready for airports, flights and transfers.
Staying in a family cottage also has its own unique benefits. Not only do they give you a sense of extra freedom but they also offer a more homely and cosy setting than a standard hotel holiday. With thousands of family-friendly holiday cottages to choose from, you’ll almost be spoiled for choice.

Incredible destinations, right on your doorstep!
Pack your sun cream and head for the sandy beaches of Brighton, Cornwall and Devon. With their dramatic coastlines and vibrant seaside towns, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d arrived somewhere a little more tropical!
If exploring ancient woodlands and historic villages are more your holiday style, then a visit to North Wales or the New Forest is sure to keep the whole family entertained. The Lake District, Peak District and the Isle of Skye offer the ideal base for keen mountain climbers and walkers to enjoy.
