4 Benefits Of Booking A UK Holiday

There is a lot to be said about spending your holiday in the UK. Especially if you have a family or a four-legged friend to think about! Holidays in the UK can be every bit as magical as holidays abroad and give you an even better opportunity to relax and unwind. However, if you need a little bit more convincing, here are four benefits of booking a holiday in the UK. 

Travel on your schedule

A massive perk of booking a UK based holiday is that you can drive there, which means that if you leave ten minutes late because it took longer than you expected to round up the kids and get them out of the door, there isn’t that horrible fear that you might miss your flight! It just means that you’ve left ten minutes late. 

According to the Independent, ten UK airports were reported as having queues at security that took longer than an hour on some days. If you add that to the time you spend in the airport to ensure that you arrive on time and the time you spend waiting for your gate to be announced, it all adds up. With a UK-based holiday, that’s all the time that you can spend having fun with your family.

No baggage restrictions

Traveling with kids and pets in tow involves a lot of baggage. If you travel by plane, you will quite often get charged extra for bringing more bags, which can make the cost climb up unexpectedly. The great thing about a UK holiday is that you can take as much luggage as you like, as long as it fits in the car and doesn’t weigh you down too much!

Explore the UK

The UK is packed full of gorgeous scenery and fun places to visit, so you don’t have to go abroad to find those things. Some great destinations for UK holidays include: 

• The New Forest. Despite its name, it isn’t that new! The New Forest is one of the largest remaining areas of unenclosed pasture and forest in England and was proclaimed to be a royal forest, and therefore protected, by William the Conqueror. It’s home to an astonishing amount of wildlife, including birds, reptiles, deer, and even ponies! It’s the perfect place for any nature lover to go to unwind and reconnect with the natural world.
• The Isle of Wight. Just off the South coast of England, the Isle of Wight is known for its picturesque sandy beaches and seafront promenades, featuring vintage beach huts. There have even been discoveries of fossils and dinosaur remains which can still be seen there today.
• Tattershall Lakes. Situated in Lincolnshire, Tattershall Lakes are stunningly beautiful and the perfect place to relax and have fun. If you like water sports, you can enjoy water skiing and wakeboarding, and if you prefer to enjoy a beautiful view with a book in your hand, it’s great for that, too. It’s also close to medieval Lincoln, so perfect for history buffs!

Bring your pup!

One of the best things about a UK holiday for dog lovers is that you can bring your dog along with you if you find the right place. That means you can have a holiday with the whole family, and not have to worry about them while you’re gone.
