This collection of weekend breaks in the UK and short breaks in the UK offers a fantastic escape to cities steeped in history, as well as destinations set in rolling countryside. Take a break from the hustle and bustle and explore the delights of the UK - from sleepy hamlets to coastal weekend getaways, and rustic adventures – when you book mini breaks in the UK.
Why Weekend Breaks and Short Breaks?
Cottage weekend breaks in the UK 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; the opportunities are endless with UK weekend breaks.
Short breaks in the UK 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; these UK short breaks offer it all.
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 breaks here!
Places to visit during Weekend Breaks and Short Breaks
There are so many wonderful locations to uncover during these short breaks! 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 UK weekend break, we recommend booking a short break in North Wales or a short break in the Lake District.
Other must-visit regions offering short breaks in the UK include:
Types of Short Breaks & Weekend Breaks
Want to treat your loved one to a special weekend break? We recommend browsing this hand-picked selection of romantic weekend getaways. Alternatively, enjoy a long weekend away with those who mean most by choosing a bank holiday weekend cottage. If you prefer a secluded holiday, you should explore this array of log cabin weekend breaks or weekend caravan breaks.
Browse these cottages for 2-night stays for your next short break, or if you fancy exploring a new place at a slightly quieter time, these midweek breaks will be ideal.
However, if you want to enjoy a short break during the festive period, these Christmas and New Year short breaks are the perfect choice. Alternatively, get even more out of winter by enjoying a winter short break. If you’d prefer short getaways at a warmer time of year, perhaps these autumn short breaks are a better choice.
Can’t decide? Check out this broad range of self-catering UK holiday cottages to find the ideal property for you.
