Staycations! Our five favourite UK getaways.

Staycations! Our five favourite UK getaways.

With many foreign holidays cancelled this year we have rounded up our favourite UK holiday destinations that may leave you questioning why you haven't considered a staycation before.

So your foreign holiday plans may well be on hold this year, but that's ok as there is so much natural beauty right on our doorsteps! We have rounded up just a few of our favourite UK escapes for you.

The government is encouraging staycations to boost our tourism industry but don't forget to follow social distancing guidelines closely and make sure you plan ahead as things may be a little different. Make sure you visit responsibly, support small businesses in this difficult time and keep yourself and others around you as safe as possible.

1. Lake District

You just can't beat it! With numerous idyllic towns such as Windermere and Ambleside and lots of accomodation types the Lake District is a great getaway for all the family. Covering over 2000sq km there is plenty of green space, lakes and country walks.


2. The Cotswolds

Simply charming. The Cotswolds is not short of natural beauty, we highly recommend a relaxing cottage escape. Also known as the Venice of the Cotswolds the quaint village of Bourton on the Water is a favourite for visitors. If cars are your thing visit the Cotswold Motoring Museum or for an outdoor pursuit the Birdland Park inhabits over 500 birds.

3. York

If its a little bit of history you are after then York is definitely the place for you. This walled city was founded by the Ancient Romans and features a stunning gothic cathedral amonst lots of jaw dropping architecture. There is plenty of sightseeing opportunities and do not miss out on a trip to the famous Shambles. Grab a photo at the historic street dating back to the fourteenth century, it is lined with overhanging buildings and is a must see attraction when visiting York. Bursting with history and culture you certainly won't run out of things to do.


4. Anglesey

For us, there are too many great places in Wales to try and narrow them down so we have gone with a family favourite, Anglesey! There really is something for everyone here, whether you want coastlines, walking trails, cycle paths or golf courses, Anglesey has it all. From the minute you cross the bridge you will be welcomed by an area rich in culture and heritage. Whether you want camping, cottages or a luxury escape there is range of accomodation options on offer, we recommend a long weekend or even a weeks stay.


5. Cornwall

Its no secret that the South East has some of the best beaches in the UK, with large stretches of white sand coastlines and some good summer weather you could even mistake it for the mediterranean. Ideal for those after water based activities like surfing, evening strolls along the beach or a bite to eat at a local seafood restaurant.


If you find yourself on a staycation this year remember to plan ahead, observe social distancing guidelines, support local businesses and enjoy a well deserved break.

Buyers remorse. A feeling of regret or anxiety after making a purchase. Often felt after spending money on something that you later feel wasn't worth it. Clothing bought in a sale because it was perceived to be a bargain when, in reality, you probably didn't really need or indeed want to buy it. You might not have even given it a second thought if it had not been discounted.
