This collection of weekend breaks and short breaks in the UK offers a fantastic escape to cities steeped in history, as well as destinations set in rolling countryside.

Why Weekend Breaks?
Cottage weekend breaks provide you with something to look forward to, all without the need to negotiate time off from work. Spend leisurely Sunday’s hiking through the UK's untamed landscapes, retreat to the seaside to recharge after a busy week or find solace in a rural village.
Short breaks in the UK are ideal for any occasion. They cater to families in search of adventurous fun near a national park, friends seeking relaxation in a lodge with hot tub, or couples yearning for a romantic getaway.
These short breaks start at a two-night stay. So, whether you’re after lovely lodges, spacious homes, or rustic abodes with crackling woodburning stoves, you can find your ideal mini break here!
