Couples
A cosy retreat in the Cotswolds could be enough to convince you that the region was created for a holidaying couples. Whether you’re exploring sleepy limestone villages, taking a leisurely boat trip down the river or exploring Shakespeare country, you’re sure to enjoy soaking up the relaxing romantic ambience on your travels.
Then again, for every romantic fool there’s another who may think that the food of love is well…food. Thankfully, these parties will be equally satiated by the dining experiences offered by the Cotswolds. Of course, a self-catering cottage also allows you to impress your holiday mate with your culinary skills. And while results may vary, the chances of wowing your companion will also not be harmed by the top notch local ingredients on offer!
Families
Northumberland is the perfect place to unwind with the family. For one thing the region still maintains its ‘best-kept secret’ status as a holiday destination. So you’re certainly not going to be spending those precious holiday moments cursing queues and overpriced snacks!
Hadrian’s Wall still stands majestically over a large part of the unspoiled countryside and will allow you to sneak some historical education into your family holiday while maintaining an agenda of fun. Likewise Alnwick Castle is an incredible example of medieval architecture and also featured as ‘Hogwarts’ in the Harry Potter films, which is sure to impress kids of all ages.
Groups
A cheap holiday cottage in the beautiful Peak District basically gives you a large and beautiful playground for your party to enjoy. Thankfully it also fills this playground with a diverse range of activities to please even the most hard to impress holidaymaker. And if they aren’t wowed by the entertainment, they’ll still love the venue!
The Peak District is the original UK national park, and is, in a word, stunning. Activities on offer include hiking through the Peak Forest, cycling across the Dark Peak, horse riding down the Longden trail, plus potholing and caving in Dovedale. If that sounds like too much hard work (and we understand that it’s rarely possible to please everyone!) then the area also possesses the most extensive public transport network of any national park.
Just don’t forget to breathe heavily and mop your brow when you arrive back at your holiday cottage!
