Why Weekend Breaks?
Weekend breaks provide you with something to look forward to, all without the need to negotiate time off from work. Spend leisurely Sundays 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 are ideal for any occasion! Whether you’re a family in search of adventurous fun near a national park, a group of friends seeking relaxation in a lodge with a hot tub or a couple yearning for a romantic getaway. Choose two-night or three-night stays - whatever takes your fancy!
Places to visit during your Short Break
There are so many wonderful destinations for a UK short break waiting to be uncovered; why not savour a weekend break in Scotland? Amazing sights, a wealth of outdoor activities and historic attractions are just a few highlights here. For even more outdoor fun during your weekend break, we recommend booking a short break in Wales or a short break in the Lake District. Perhaps you'd like to travel slightly further afield with one of these short breaks in Northern Ireland.
