I've also had some fantastic holidays in the UK. Such holidays often referred to as 'Staycations' are usually cheaper and offer certain benefits such as avoiding long flights or waiting around in airports when your flight is delayed. They are also more environmentally friendly. For me, I do love the British countryside, it's unique and like no other and it's one of the biggest things I missed when I lived abroad. Cornwall and Devon are two of my favourite counties and are both stunning in their own ways. I love exploring the rolling hills of Devon and the rugged coastal areas of Cornwall. My little boy celebrated his first birthday in Cornwall and we spent the day on the beach in the sunshine.
There are so many UK holidays companies these days. Clickstay is one of them and has over 12,000 holiday homes in more than 50 countries worldwide. These include everything from countryside chateaus to city apartments to luxury villas. In the UK there are listed cottages in Cornwall, Sussex, Cornwall, Devon, Norfolk, the Lake District, Wales, Scotland and many more. I've had a look at the Clickstay website and here are three of my favourites.

Great post, Polly - I hadn't heard of Clickstay until now and I do love a good staycation.

Thanks very much Jade! Same to you, look forward to hearing about your adventures x
DeleteNow that's a fairy tale cottage!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful isn't it :-)
DeleteI love Devon and Cornwall too, but there is so much to discover in the UK - definitely doing more of that since my daughter came along. I very much fancy that Brighton one with the balcony! Last time we visited, we did have sea views but it was early January and the waves were crashing - absolutely not ice cream weather (although my daughter still thought it was) #myfavouritetrip
ReplyDeleteThere are so many lovely places to visit in the UK. The seaviews sound lovely, shame about the weather. It is so changeable here in Brighton. We get some lovely hot days and then usually when family/friends come to visit it turns miserable again! Glad your daughter still had fun though, kids don't care about the weather do they x
DeleteWe are lucky to have family in both Brighton and North Devon so we can visit both of those a lot. I really like Cornwall, and I also fancy a trip over to the Isle of Wight or Jersey. Both look really nice and have some stunning beaches and scenery.x #myfavouritetrip
ReplyDeleteOh that is lucky. The Isle of Wight was my little boy's first little trip when he was just a few months old, would love to return. It's so easy to get to from Brighton too x
DeleteI need to win the lottery too! I need to win so that I never have to worry about work for the rest of my life and travel 24/7. :D I've seen a lot of England, but there's so much more to see and do.
ReplyDeleteThe thatched cottage looks like it's out of a fairytale....
ReplyDeleteThese are all great suggestions, we sometimes forget how many amazing places there are to explore in the UK! :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know about clickstay - another accommodation website to add to my arsenal! The thatched roof cottage looks so perfectly English.
ReplyDeleteAwww such lovely places. Its my dream to go to Brighton and see the quirkiness! #MyFavouriteTrip
ReplyDeleteWow that cottage looks lovely! We are definitely planning more UK holidays this year, there is so much to explore in our own country without going abroad #MyFavouriteTrip
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I'd love to get down to the south coast again, I went so much as a child!
ReplyDeleteI would love to take my kids to visit Brighton this Summer. Ethan went for a day trip when he was only about 2 months old, while we were staying in London at the time. I don't think he had remembered that much. lol! That Thatched Holiday Cottage in Ventnor, Isle of Wight looks awesome though - feels like a real English break. Thank you for hosting. xx
ReplyDeleteAmazing Ideas! Really loved them all. Actually, I would like to go on a summer tour with my husband and on my last trip to Brighton was quite amazing. And at this time We would like to go to Amsterdam. Traveling is my passion and I loved to travel to different places. Thank you for promoting.
ReplyDeleteWe have just bought a bongo and hoping to do some travelling in it this year, heading to France for the summer.
ReplyDeleteI love a staycation and have visited Cornwall many times because husbands family are all there, it is stunning but we have endured too many holidays in the rain there now hence going abroad this year!
