There are so many reason why it’s a good idea to take a short break in the UK – you get to spend time with special people, it’s a great way to celebrate a special occasion and it’s beneficial for your overall health and wellbeing. With fantastic facilities like indoor pools, hot tubs, games rooms and play areas a short break is an easy way to step back into happy mode.

Shorter holidays are proving to be a huge travel trend with more and more people spending a few days away throughout the year. A luxury large holiday house makes it even better because there’s something for all ages, but it’s so much more than that. When you drill down into the main reasons to take a short break in the UK it all starts to make perfect sense.

Short Breaks Are A Great Way to Spend Time With Special People

Taking a short break in the UK is a brilliant way to bring together the people you love most in the world. There are no worries about finding or applying for passports if you all live in the UK, so travel is easier. Once you arrive at your luxury large group accommodation you can get straight into enjoying the fabulous features that bring a whole load of happiness to all ages. Jump into the pool, slip into the hot tub, unwind in the sauna, battle it out in the games room, get snuggly for a movie night. Gather round the table for a momentous feast – it’s all about catching up, reconnecting, making new memories.

Celebrate Something Special

Some things in life just have to be celebrated – like special birthdays, momentous anniversaries, engagements, graduations, a new baby… A short break in a big holiday house with your best friends and family is a brilliant way to celebrate such occasions. Hire private caterers to come and create a humdinger of a feast for you, arrange to have a celebration cake delivered, book entertainment, like a casino night or an evening of magic and mystery. Arrange with local florists to have the house filled with flowers, or have balloon arches put up. Make it your time, make it extra special.

Short Breaks Offer Flexibility

Our short breaks for large groups in the UK come with inbuilt flexibility, so you can choose your days away to suit you all. Most of our holiday houses offer 2 night and 3 night weekend breaks, arriving on Friday and leaving on Sunday or Monday. There’s even the possibility of arriving on a Thursday for a 3 or 4 night weekend break, and something that’s increasingly popular – a 4 night midweek stay from Monday to Friday. It’s about what works best for you, and with so many amazing properties to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect place to stay for your short break.

You Can Take A Short Break Any Time of Year

The kind of luxury facilities you’ll find at our large self-catering accommodation make it easy for you to go away in all seasons. Depending on your choice of property, you might have your own private spa hall with a pool, hot tub and sauna; there are games rooms, movie rooms, and cosy Nordic style BBQ lodges that can be used all through the year. With so much to keep you smiling indoors, you won’t even have to think about what the weather’s doing. It could be blowing a gale outside, but it won’t matter because you’ll all be on a big happy indoors, having fun, making memories.

Short Breaks Are Easier To Organise

Let’s face it, organising a large group holiday can be a challenge, but short breaks are so much easier to plan. It’s usually easier for people to take time off work for a day or so rather than a whole week and weekend breaks might not involve taking any time off at all. You don’t need to pack so much, food planning isn’t so tricky, and there’s less to think about when it comes to making sure everyone is happy during your stay so you may not even need to plan day trips and visits to local attractions.

Short Breaks Are Easier On the Pocket

That’s a no-brainer – the less time you’re away, the less it’s going to cost you. Short breaks are remarkably good value for money. For example, a mid-week stay in early December for 12 people can cost as little as £29 per person per night! In July it works out at £55 each per night – still excellent value considering you get your own indoor pool, games area and play area – plus heaps of space and a gorgeous rural location. So much better than an enormous hotel complex where you have to share facilities with people you don’t even know!

Short Breaks Are Good For Your Wellbeing

This is so true! A few days away with your nearest and dearest can do wonders for your overall health and wellbeing. It’s a complete break from everything – from work, meetings, deadlines, the daily commute and difficult colleagues; it’s time out from the school run, the uniforms, the lunchboxes, PE kits, and homework. There’s no housework to think about, no beds to change, no pile of ironing waiting to be done. A short break is totally your time, to relax and be in the moment with your favourite people. Focus on the luxury of being together and you’ll probably find that your stress levels drop significantly, your mood is boosted, and the feel good factor hits an all time high. Your creativity might increase, your motivation be rebooted and when you get back to work you’ll probably be raring to go, with a notable increase in productivity. A short break can do you the world of good!

Short Breaks Offer A Change Of Scene

You know what they say. A change is as good as a rest. Well, when you take a short break in the UK, you get both – a change of scene AND a few days to unwind with your loved ones. That change of scene can be so important – something fresh, all that space, a different view when you look out of the window. You can relax into your luxury large holiday house and make the most of every single moment, enjoying the time spent together and all the marvellous features that are exclusively yours throughout your stay.

Short Breaks Are A Great Way To See New Places

This is a good point. By taking more than one short break during the year, you get to see different places, to experience staying in different luxury holiday houses. You might go with family to one, and with friends to another. Spend a few days on the edge of the beautiful Forest of Dean, within Exmoor National Park or the South Downs; while away a weekend at the foot of the Quantock Hills, in the wilds of Wiltshire, or deep in the countryside of Somerset or Devon. It might be a big and beautiful converted barn, a timber clad lodge, a rambling old farmhouse, a rather grand former rectory, or a contemporary lakeside villa. Dine at local eateries, visit local attractions; new places with familiar faces.

So there we have it. Just a few good reasons to a short break in the UK. Oh, and one more – life is to be enjoyed. As if that’s not a good enough reason to book a large group short break today!
